Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Feb 2, 2011 at 6:25am

It’s Sunday, you’re feeling organized, you’re even willing to cook ahead a bit to make dinner easier during the week.  What to make? A pot of soup is always a winner – always.  But if you’re like me, you eat it for a couple of meals and then you’re ready for something new.  (In that…

Back at you with more eggs… John and I love a good brunch, especially with a glass of champagne. Perhaps it should be, but the Saturday after a holiday is no exception. Remember Poached Eggs over Potato-Green Pepper Pancakes from this summer? Well, this recipe is a lower carbohydrate – but every bit as delicious…

I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly Magazine. If you’ll have a housefull of guests this coming holiday weekend, keep this easy eggs-for-a-crowd dish in mind. For Turkey Day ideas, see Herb-Roasted Turkey & Gravy and Brussels Salad with Pancetta & Cranberries. Yay for Thanksgiving! An egg baked in…

Using Creme Fraiche Part I: Softly Scrambled Eggs with Chives

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Oct 21, 2010 at 12:07pm

Do you cook with creme fraiche? Non? Oh, you should, you should, it’s a breeze to use and makes everything it touches absolutely luscious. Creme fraiche is technically French-style cultured cream, somewhat similar to sour cream, but easier to cook with because it can be whipped as well as boiled without curdling. Even better, it’s…

What’s this? Why, it’s the best (insert your favorite curse word) breakfast you’ve had, like, ever. You’ll see the list of ingredients, and you might freak out a little bit, thinking that it’s awfully rich for breakfast. But bear with me, as I’m a big fan of small jolts of dear ingredients, the best possible…

Crustless Spinach & Leek Quiches

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Sep 17, 2010 at 10:32am

I’m supposed to be preparing for a dinner party we’re hosting this evening, so this post is going to be short-n-sweet! Which is fine, since these quiches are short-n-sweet too, and really, what’s to say about quiche? Eggs + cheese = heaven. There you go. Oh wait, I do have one note of explanation: I…

Happy Labor Day! Are you stopping by for a little last-minute holiday cooking inspiration? I have to confess that this day rather snuck up on me too – denial that summer is ending, I suppose. If you’re running to the market today, wanting to pull something festive together for later this evening, here are some…

A Good Hash

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Sep 5, 2010 at 6:09pm

I’m a bit ahead of the curve here, assuming that you have leftover roast of any sort in early September. (Reveals my fatalistic if-summer’s-over-then-it-must-be-winter attitude.) But just in case… I personally had a few lovely slices of leftover boneless, skin-on turkey breast, which I’d rubbed with herbs and olive oil and grilled until nicely crispy….

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…
