Fried Egg over Truffled Kale and Chickpea Puree

We’ve got lots and lots of kale and Swiss Chard in the garden that needs eating up before it flowers.  For a quick dinner side, we had it over a bean puree with feta cheese.  There was bean puree leftover the next day, so I had it with some sauteed kale drizzled with a bit [...]

Poached Egg with Breaded Avocado, Fanned Spring Onions, Mushrooms and Sriracha

It’s been a long hard week.  I had to put Ella to sleep, which was  one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.  I am still adjusting to life without her, it’s slightly lonely and feels like I’ve lost a limb.
If deep fried avocadoes hasn’t been a food trend yet, it’s going to [...]


Omelet with Feta, Cherry Tomatoes, Ramps, Chive & Onion Blossoms

Cinqo de Mayo: Eggs baked with Black Beans and Spicy Tomato in a Tortilla Cup

Celebrating Cinqo de Mayo has become the new St Patricks Day- just as the non-Irish drink green beer and eat corned beef, the non Latinos drink Margaritas and eat burritos.  And why not?  Celebrations are fun, and so are margaritas.
So here’s to Cinqo de Mayo!!!! Bug off Arizonians (not all of you, just the racists).
Eggs [...]


Golden and Red Beet Tart

I had grand plans- I envisioned alternating layers or thingly sliced purple and golden beets, dotted with goat cheese and fresh basil over golden puff pastry.
The oven was on and I was about to wrap up my beets, before realizing they were huge! “They’ll never cook, I had better chop them up.” So i [...]


Smokey Tofu Scramble with mixed Veggies

I’ve been over-egging lately, so here is a vegan alternate- the tofu scramble.  My dad tried it and said if he was told it was scrambled eggs, he wouldn’t of thought any different.  So there you have it!  I used left over scraps of veggies from the tian, I think there was even a bit [...]


Advice on biking, eating eggs mid week.

I did the unthinkable today- ate an egg mid week!!! This goes against my traditions, eggs are for the weekend.  But let me explain, I thought it would be okay since I bike to work and home every day, so needed some extra protein, as a supplement to my bug consumption that has increased exponentially [...]


Marscapone Eggs over Shaved Zucchini

This should have been my Easter post.  It involves eggs and is baked in an adorable dish with a bunny on top, see:

Unfortunately I was feeling particularly atheistic yesterday, so I didn’t bother. Plus I got my Easter Chocolate on Saturday, resulting in a pretty unremarkable day.   On average, I fall into the agnostic category.  [...]
