Late Summer Dinner: Fresh Corn Pudding

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Aug 30, 2010 at 2:58pm

It’s traditional to serve corn pudding alongside a crusty roast or ham, and of course it’s delicious that way. But I like it best as the star of the meal, served like a souffle with simply sauteed vegetables. (Try diced zucchini, sauteed in a little butter with garlic, with halved cherry tomatoes and fresh thyme…

Part I: Eastward Ho!

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Aug 17, 2010 at 11:14am

We just returned from visiting my in-laws’ home in the Hamptons, one of the prettiest places in the world. With lush flowers, towering trees, white beaches, and sprawling “cottages,” there is always somewhere picturesque to rest your eye. The food is lush too, spilling over onto quaint farm stands and into local markets. Berries, melons,…

Zucchini Pancakes

You might be looking for new, delicious ways to use zucchini right about now. How did I know? Crazy right, how I read your mind? I’m good that way. These savory pancakes are hardly new, but they are certainly delicious. Filled with fresh herbs and salty bits of feta cheese, the pancakes pop hot off…

Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Cake

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Aug 1, 2010 at 11:37am

I still had blueberries left from last week’s farmers market haul, but since they were just-past gorgeous (yet still perfectly edible), I decided that today was the day to bake them into this pretty blueberry lemon cake I’d had my eye on. Although really, every day should be a day for buttermilk cake, don’t you…

I’m Back with…Crash Hot Potatoes

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Jul 20, 2010 at 6:44pm

It has bothered me that I didn’t snap a pic of The Pioneer Woman Crash Hot Potatoes I made on July 4th.  I know…I’m weird.  But there it is, and here I am, and now I have a pic of the potatoes. Which is good, since I’ve made them three times since July 4th.  What…

An Ode to Breadcrumbs

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Jul 14, 2010 at 4:00pm

Bored with broccoli? Tired of tilapia? Sick of scrambled eggs? Add breadcrumbs! A spoonful of buttery, toasty crumbs can make the most ordinary dish sublime.             Like the portabella mushroom, endive gratin, baked eggs, and fried chickpeas, above. What began as potentially bland fare – vegetables, an egg, canned beans…

Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Jul 8, 2010 at 11:08am

Suffering in this heat wave? I suggest a little cool, creamy heaven. Save the egg whites and make Schaum Torte a few days later. Ice cream and meringue, the yin and yang of desserts. You heard it here first. The sun’s hot, mosquitoes are biting, I’m sipping gin & tonics, and I’m craving ice cream—’round…

Ooh! Aah!

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Jul 5, 2010 at 3:59pm

I cooked my brains out this weekend and loved every minute of it. See Saturday’s results – icy cold gazpacho, as well as poached eggs over potato pancakes – below. Both are new favorites, and why not? Crunchy, creamy, salty. Pretty much everything I crave. So where, you might wonder, are the pics of Sunday’s pork…

Spaghetti Carbonara…Sort Of

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Jun 28, 2010 at 6:34pm

As you might have noticed, I’ll eat eggs with pretty much anything.  Polenta, potatoes, bread, bread crumbs, salad, tomatoes, soup, on and on.  Take it from a former egg hater – eggs elevate all of these dishes from something ordinary to sublime. For pennies. For around 75 calories. So lovely. This dish is a sort-of…

Salad Lyonnaise: Salad with Poached Egg and Bacon

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Jun 20, 2010 at 5:07pm

I’ll keep this simple.  I made this version of Salad Lyonnaise for dinner tonight, for John, for Father’s Day, and it was sublime.  If you want to go to the recipe after the video, click on the “article” link.  If you take nothing else away from this demonstration, let it be how incredibly easy it…
