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…

Happy Belated Passover, Easter

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Apr 6, 2010 at 10:54am

Oh look, I missed both holidays. I usually relish cooking Kosher for Passover treats for my stepdaughter, as well as coloring Easter eggs and making brunch for my son. A trip to Seattle and illness (see below) wiped out both opportunities this year. Instead, on Sunday, I made a potato-pepper hash with baked eggs for…

Egg Salad – Yes, Egg Salad (With Lemon, Anchovies, & Crostini)

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…

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…

It’s Not So Hard to be Humble

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 18, 2009 at 10:26am

Toasted breadcrumbs, duh! (Slaps head…) Why do I always forget about them? So easy, so incredibly delicious, and quite light to boot, since one piece of bread and a couple of teaspoons of olive oil make enough garnish for three servings of eggs or vegetables or pasta or fish or potatoes. In fact, there are…
