You can make a veggie hash with a variety of vegetables. I however like this particular combination: sweet potato, onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini. As with any sautéed dish, the trickiest part is knowing when to add each vegetable so that they’ll all end up perfectly cooked at the same time. It may […]
A frittata is an Italian omelet. What differentiates it from an omelet is that most of the ingredients are sautéed first then the eggs are added to the pan and baked…not finished on the stovetop. Then depending on how many eggs you use, it will take about 5 to 10 minutes in the oven….but […]
After a lifetime of cooking, 20 of them professional, I have found that the tastiest dishes are often the simplest…like this one. Sautéed cubanelle peppers, an egg (anyway you like them) and some bread, or in this case, a flour tortilla. As a child, my mother used to make me and my siblings scrambled eggs […]
After years (decades really) of teaching people how to cook, I know for sure that most times when people say they don’t like vegetables, it’s because all they know is the over steamed wimpy kind that has had all the flavor sucked out of them. Or maybe they’ve never tasted vegetables picked at the height […]
They say that eggs are the perfect food. It wasn’t always that way. For a while, the “health experts” were saying the cholesterol in eggs was bad for you…until they realized it was the good kind of cholesterol. Funny how quick we are to label what’s good and what’s bad. Good thing they’ve come […]
Eggs poached in tomato sauce is a fast, easy and delicious way to serve eggs and many cuisines have their version on this flavorful dish. There’s something about the eggs mixing in with tomatoes that makes this a favorite almost everywhere. I certainly had my fair share of this growing up. But not only […]
These muffin frittatas take about 20 minutes to bake, can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days, and make for a healthy and tasty breakfast, snack, or appetizer. How great and easy is this? They can be made ahead like cupcakes or muffins, individualized for picky eaters, and (I think) beat out […]
Eggs are not just for breakfast or brunch…especially when they top a delicious, nutrient rich sautéed hash like this one. Go ahead, serve them for dinner. Change up the mix of veggies if you like. The possibilities are endless. With this dish…what to make for dinner just got a whole lot more expansive. The […]
For Easter Sunday at my sisters house with 12 family members, I made stuffed artichokes and scalloped potatoes. The artichokes were made how my mother used to make them so they were a fondly remembered treat for the whole family, but the potatoes were from a recipe from Simply Recipes a much loved resource since […]
I have a love affair with peaches…but only in the summertime. Here in the northeast corner of the US, peaches. any other time of year are tasteless. There’s simply no substitution for the taste of a peach, bitten into and the height of their ripeness. Needless to say, a peach in this state needs very […]
