On Monday morning I awoke to the official end of summer curled up in a cozy twin bed in CK’s grandparent’s house in Niantic, Connecticut. The air in the bedroom was crisp and cool and I was starving.

Right before our lives were overtaken with packing, boxes, and moving CK and I took a short jaunt to one of our favorite locations (Burlington, Vermont) and stayed at our absolute favorite Bed & Breakfast, the Willard Street Inn.

November 17, 2008

Pretty right? Too bad I didn’t try them before I made this great breakfast tray for CK and I to enjoy. While edible and flavorful my corn muffins with bacon and herbs came out rather dry. I have yet to find a cornbread or muffin recipe, which doesn’t include adding sour cream or creamed corn, […]

Quick Mushroom Quiche

Quiche is one of my top 5 favorite foods.  I love the flaky crust, melted cheeses, and all of the yummy textures and veggies.  It’s the perfect meal, especially since you can serve it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  What more can you ask for?  PS:  Yes, real men really do eat quiche.  Just ask […]

Ellie Krieger’s Scrumptious Scramble

October 1, 2006

My “edited” version of Ellie Krieger’s Scrumptious Scramble.  Essentially, throw whatever you have on hand into a pan, saute it in a small amount of olive oil, and combine it with scrambled eggs for a delicious breakfast.  I like serving eggs this way because I am a miserable failure when it comes to making omelets.
