Hazelnut Quinoa Cereal with Dried Cherries

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 18, 2010 at 9:14am

Consider quinoa, an example of yet another delicious, nutritious (gluten-free to boot) food that I love and that my family won’t touch. I make it anyhow (I’ll post an easy pilaf recipe as soon as I pay attention to how I do it) and happily compose beautiful, satisfying lunch salads from the leftovers. Quinoa is…

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 13, 2010 at 8:38pm

My favorite dessert? Cake. My favorite cake? Coconut, or anything with fruit in it. There – two things you probably didn’t know about me. Keep them in mind around January 6… Glazed lemon or lime cake, warm plum or apple crumb cake, a pear-ginger cake with whipped cream. Surprise me.          …

Garlic Soup with Vegetables, Ham, & Fried Egg

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 10, 2010 at 7:02pm

Another egg. I know! But what can I say? Garlic soup ladled over a fried egg is a classic dish and one of the yummiest things on the planet, so there it is. I added vegetables and ham to the soup, because I had vegetables and ham to use and I knew they’d rock with…

Apple & Pear Galette

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 10, 2010 at 5:51am

You can thank the asparagus & leek tart (below) for this treat. The original pie crust (pate brisee) recipe makes two crusts (I halved it for the posted recipe), so I had extra dough sitting in the fridge. I brushed over it a couple of times, thinking I’d probably make another quiche and freeze it….

Farmily

If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you know that I love visiting my aunt Mary and uncle Bruce’s farm in west-central Minnesota. If you’re a new reader – welcome! – and here’s why: Beauty. Stillness.             Warm, buttery scones with softly scrambled eggs and browned sausages….

Momofuku Milk Bar Compost Cookies

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 6, 2010 at 7:33am

Second dessert in a week? Not my usual, since I tend to favor savory over sweet, but I had a special reason. My 3-year old nephew Cooper spent a few days with us and Cooper loves (wuvs) a good cookie. Plus, I’ll admit, I’ve had this funky recipe on my mind since I read it…

Reaching for Spring – Asparagus & Leek Quiche

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 5, 2010 at 6:02pm

Here’s usually why I make quiche – I have no dinner plan, so I start a mildly panicked foraging in my refrigerator – a refrigerator that rarely lets me down, thank goodness – and discover a treasure of forgotten vegetables. Yes! If I score a half-eaten block of cheese in addition, I’m so jamming. And…

Part III: Molten Chocolate Cakes

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 2, 2010 at 9:46am

OK, last post invoking my friend Andrew Zimmern’s name, I swear (thanks to AZ for letting me borrow a bit of his burnish – I might just subliminally throw his name into my blog whenever I need a little infusion of attention since people jump all over it). But seriously, I had to include a…

Ginger-Fried Rice

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Feb 15, 2010 at 10:49am

I hated eggs when I was a kid – absolutely, truly loathed them. Boy have things changed. The changeover was so gradual, it was invisible to me. A little bite of quiche (wow!), a taste of deviled eggs (yum!), tiny bits of yolk on an over-medium egg (ooh!), and I was slowly wooed. Learning to…

The Easiest Biscuits This Side of Pie

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Feb 12, 2010 at 10:05am

I’m serious – I’ve made buttermilk biscuits a few times and while they’re not difficult, they require…buttermilk…which I don’t consistently have in my fridge. They also require cutting cold butter into flour, which again is not difficult, but is just fussy enough to prevent me from whipping them up on some random Sunday morning. Which…
