Homemade Hollandaise: First Attempt

I’ve been wanting to try homemade hollandaise sauce for quite some time. I finally did it. So how did it turn out?

Broccoli & Cheddar Crustless Mini Quiches

Last weekend I thought about making mini quiches for my sister’s baby shower. I ended up just buying some from Costco because I didn’t want to try a new recipe for my MOTHER and several aunts. I’m just sayin’. So this weekend I decided to give them a try.

Spring Turnip Frittata

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a frittata, and I knew that’s how I wanted to use the broccoli rabe that I received in my CSA pickup. So when I stumbled on this recipe on the Eating Well website, I decided to give it a try since I also had spring turnips that I needed to use.

Rutabaga and Greens Fritatta (Dark Days Challenge)

For this week’s Dark Days Challenge, I decided that I had better start using all the rutabagas that I’ve been amassing from my winter CSA. I started by looking through the recipes that Eater’s Guild had sent me. In the interest of full disclosure, I should state that DH was highly skeptical. He hates rutabagas [...]

Potato Leek Quiche

Warning: Do not make this on an empty stomach! The smell will drive you crazy while it bakes. This recipe is from the Spring Quiche Trio pages of Simply in Season. I’ve noticed that many of the vegetables available in the spring are also prevalent in the fall. In fact, the leeks were from today’s [...]

Creamed (Asparagus or) Spinach (Omelet)

The whirlwind of travel and activity has been getting to me. I took my comp time early, as part of my vacation a couple of weeks ago. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But this morning I had to take the morning off to recover from jet lag and just let my [...]
