Happy 4th of July! Looks to be a lovely day for barbecuing and hanging by the pool – good thing that’s our plan! Stacey and Cooper, and Suz, Cory, Vivian, and Sullivan are all coming later this afternoon for some food and fun before we head out on the golf course for fireworks. We didn’t…

I made John and Nathan’s night by preparing nothing more than avgolemono (Greek egg-lemon soup). It’s one of their very favorites, which is incredibly lucky for me, really – four ingredients, that’s it! Broth, rice, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Simple perfection. It is delicious, and makes a satisfying dinner with a big (but not…

Cobb salad, that’s what I decided to make with my leftover poached chicken. I lurveCobb salad, but it can be over-the-moon caloric, so one needs to implement a few tricks to keep it tasty and healthy. Go ahead and load up on many of the healthier ingredients – lettuce, sweet onion, tomatoes, and chicken breast….

Happy. It was a Happy Birthday indeed! I’m still happy about it, ha. We opened with a Nathan basketball game, then made our way to Lucia’s for brunch with Stacey, Bowen, and soft-n-sweet Baby Cooper. We didn’t actually eat Cooper up – although it’s tempting because he is insanely adorable, we’re all complete idiots around…

A White Almost-Christmas! How unexpected and charming! And dangerous, as it rained – and froze – for a few hours first. I lucked out and wrapped up my errands in just the rain, before the nasty freezing stage began. From the safety and warmth of my desk, I witnessed the rain crystallize on the tree…

MMMediterraean Burgers, baby! Recipe (and actual burger!) from my neighbor Lindsay – she was telling me about them at our November neighborhood get-together, at which time she said she’d be making them soon and would run a sample over. And she did! And they rock! And are very nutritious to boot – whole-grain millet with…

Here’s a Friday night dinner…in fact, if you’re single, and your sweetie appreciates eggs, this is the perf impress-a-date dinner. More than a little sexy, because it’s got a just-tossed together-French thing going, and is mighty nice with a glass of wine. Nothing more than a simple salad of pretty, flavorful greens – perhaps arugula,…

Have you read Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma? I highly recommend it if you love food and cooking, but especially if you’re interested in the quality of your food, the circumstances under which it was produced, and understanding the benefits of eating locally, sustainably, and seasonally. Along the way, you’ll also gain an unsettling understanding…

I’m having a passionate affair…with, of all things…eggs. Eggs! I loathed eggs as a child, actively loathed them. I would gag to watch people eat them. Cry to smell them cooking. Shrink in horror from the sight or description of them combined with another loathesome food…cheeeeese. My mom would reminisce fondly about the wonderful tasties…

Do you dream about cooking? Apparently I do, I had a dream close enough to waking this morning to remember it… I was scrambling eggs for John’s family, cooking them in a big ol’ cast-iron skillet, on a bed (loaded with Freudian implications, I’m sure). They were nasty-looking until I served them in tortillas (which…
