Hellooo 2012! I officially fell off the map for a few months, no denying it. When you’re trying to jam your big toe in the heavy, iron door of a fantastic company to land your dream job, you end up draining any reserve energy for online diatribes. But, as January rears her surprisingly warm and [...]

Roasted Asparagus with a Hard-Boiled-Egg Dressing
Despite the loooong title (sorry), this recipe is super fast to make. Asparagus and eggs go really well together. I mean, you can’t throw a rock without hitting a menu featuring asparagus with hollandaise sauce on it. I get it, that combo is delicious. But who really wants to “whip up” hollandaise at home? NOT [...]

Asparagus Quiche
Happy (Good) Friday, everyone! When trying to think of an Easter recipe, I kept coming back to two things and two things only: asparagus and quiche. I know everyone thinks of decorating Easter eggs or chocolates shaped like bunnies, but we never really got into that much in our family. Easter Sunday meant Mass (after [...]

Spring Onion Frittata
Global Warming or no global warming, 65 degrees in February is A-OK with me (sorry Mr. Gore). To celebrate the fact that I did NOT have to leave the house in a snowsuit, I decided to hit up the market for some spring-like produce. Asparagus weren’t quiiiiite in, and there was no sign of spring [...]

Egg in a Hole
Is there anything better than breakfast for dinner? Answer: yes … breakfast for dinner when it’s snowing outside. I mean, seriously. Eggs taste better at night, especially when you’re holed up in your cozy apartment while Mother Nature has her way with the Northeast. Every other blue moon, my mom used to make us scrambled [...]

Egg White Salad
I’ve been toying with the idea of making this one for a while. Egg white salad has always been a figment of my delusional, far-fetched imagination. I pictured energetic little housewives buying it by the pint at my adorable specialty foods store in some adorable little town. It would be their “protein boost” after some [...]

Cheese Soufflé with an Arugula Salad
Ok I promise this will be my last fat-filled post for a while. I feel like I’m still in Christmas Cholesterol Land and everyone around me is hitting the gym and crushing salads. You 2011 Go-Getters leave me no choice but to start coming up with food ideas that don’t have pounds of butter or [...]

Fennel and Leek Quiche
Is it just me or is quiche underrated? Quiche is easy to make, totally delicious to eat, and perfect for using up Miscellaneous Fridge Veggies. There’s so much egg and cheese involved, it’s sort of hard to make a thing like quiche taste bad. Granted, your arteries probably don’t want you to slam down a [...]

Poached Egg, Tomatoes, and Fresh Herb Dressing
mega millions A good friend of mine used to top just about every meal she made with a poached egg. Salad plus an egg, pasta plus an egg, burger plus an egg—80% of the time it works every time. Growing up in a family of voracious poached egg eaters, this is a skill I’ve learned [...]
