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 [...]


Food Trends: When in doubt, stick an Egg on it and Kale Chips!

Emerging  food trends are always most obvious on foodgawker and tastespotting.  Within the past year, I’ve noticed peaks in gougeres, eggs on top of meals, broccoli pesto, roasted cauliflower, macaroons.. and last but not least, Kale Chips.  I finally gave in and made “Kale Chips” today, and I have to admit it-  they are [...]

Poached Egg over Mixed Root Hash

I massacred my egg a bit- when I put it into the poach pod the yolk separated, so it’s a bit of a mess. After the tian and the napoleons the other day, I had a couple extra slices of sweet potato, red skinned, and butternut squash to use up, so I thought a [...]


Egg baked with Goat Cheese, Radish and Mizuna

Mizuna came from the farmer’s market this morning, as did the goat cheese.  It is a Japanese mustard green and remind me of arugula, with a less pungent flavour.

Gruyere and Chive Gougères- the David Lebovitz recipe

A while ago- around Thanksgiving, I posted my first attempt at Gougères.  I followed a recipe from Eggs on Sunday that worked very well.  Today I decided to try a different version, that of the famed-foodie known as David Lebovitz.  His recipe doesn’t require milk and is less eggy.  The Gougères are firmer and crunchier, [...]


What to Do with Leftover Chinese Food

On Thursday (?) we ordered Chinese food.  Jon got General Tso’s Tofu and I got steamed veggies and tofu (yes, I am one of those).  Of course we didn’t finish it all, so we had a bunch of left overs.  Today we reused them- we stir fried the steamed veggies and tofu medley with garlic, [...]


Weekend Eggs

It’s Day 2 of being snowed in (see below).  The outdoor cat is inside, hiding out under the couch, and there is one very pissed off Weiner dog, who has resorted to peeing on the front porch due to his abhorrence of the snow.  Nevertheless it’s Saturday, which means EGGS.  I did another baked egg [...]


Poached Egg over Hashed Green Squash

I don’t know the difference between zucchini and green squash, I had assumed they were the same thing but for some reason they are sold separately at the supermarket.  I will have to have a look in my Food Lover’s Companion later! The point is, this dish will work with zucchini… but if zucchini is [...]


Baked Egg with Spinach, Fresh Basil and Mimolette

This was New Years Day food, because New Years Eve was a rough one this year, so eggs were needed the next day. This is a special baked egg because I topped it with Mimolette, one of our cheeses from the New Yrs Eve platter.  It was a pretty mild cheese and worked well on [...]
