We enjoyed this frittata for brunch after the boys went out salmon fishing this morning. They caught a huge one, so I think it's salmon for dinner for us tonight. This recipe comes together rather quickly, and I think it would be really delicious as a breakfast-for-dinner option as well. Frittata Asparagus, Tomato, and Fontina...
Vegetables
Roasted Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto
Asparagus hasn't always been something I would voluntarily add to my plate. I've always been more of a broccoli-lover. Evidently I do like asparagus after all. (I was officially won over by Asparagi Al Gorgonzola a few months ago.) For me, not overcooking it and then adding a little something interesting to it (such as...
My Favorite Homemade Marinara Sauce
Homemade Marinara Sauce takes a little while to make, but it's not difficult and is a great go-to tomato sauce for all of your favorite dishes. Extra sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Quiche aux Champignons (Mushroom Quiche)
There's nothing like a Saturday morning brunch during a holiday weekend in northern Michigan. We very much enjoyed this quiche before a long day spent exploring little antique shops and walking around downtown Ludington this afternoon. The original recipe did not call for bacon, but we liked the added bit of saltiness that it brought...
Pâte Brisée (Shortcut Pastry, Pastry Dough, Pie Crust, Quiche Crust)
Pâte Brisée (Shortcut Pastry, Pastry Dough, Pie Crust, Quiche Crust) Credit: Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle You could make this dough using a food processor, but I find my results are better when I make this by hand, plus there are less dishes to wash and that...
Gâteau de Crêpes à la Florentine (Mound of French Pancakes Filled with Cream Cheese, Spinach, and Mushrooms)
My first attempt at a savory crepe recipe was a success. It may not have been ready to eat until 10pm (That's what I get for cooking Julia Child recipes after a 12-hour shift and getting home at 7:30) but it was worth the wait, according to my Hubby. This recipe requires a bit of...
Egg Sandwich with Tomato and Herbed Goat Cheese
I am usually not a fan of eggs...but I really liked this combination with the tomatoes and goat cheese. We enjoyed this delicious, quick and easy breakfast-for-dinner after a long day of work and mountain biking. If you also find yourself wondering what to make when it is 9pm and you haven't had dinner, this...
Rice Salad with Summer Vegetables
I'm not sure how I've gone so long without ever trying a rice salad, but one bite and we were hooked. We both love rice and vegetables, so what's not to love about this cool summer version? I chose to omit the bell peppers that were called for in the recipe, and added fresh sweet...
Cheddar Broccoli Soup
This Cheddar Broccoli Soup has become sort of a standby recipe that I bring to friends who have just had a baby. It's easy to make, and it reheats well. The addition of nutmeg and hot sauce (I know, it sounds weird...especially since I loathe hot sauce) help to subtly enhance the flavor of the...
Bacon and Corn Breakfast Hash
This week we are trying out some new breakfast recipes, and I love that this dish includes corn. I am not a pancake and eggs type of breakfast eater, so something a little more savory is perfect for me. This meal was so delicious and easy, and will definitely be returning to our breakfast (or...
