What an awesome breakfast! I love the challenge of trying to make good food out of what you have on hand, so this is right up my alley!

Raid-The-Fridge Frittata
I don't often ask you to get out of your seat while reading my blog, but for the frittata
I'm definitely a chocoholic so it sounds like the Bay Area may be the place for me! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I love shortbread and this looks great.

Always Room for Chocolate (and Shortbread)
Sometimes it seems like the Bay Area is ground zero for chocoholics: new local artisan chocolatiers popping up every month, whole stores dedicated to chocolate from around the world...when burnt caramel and pink peppercorns are commonplace, it's enough to make the pickiest of connoisseurs feel...
These are too cute! I can't wait to try them. I swear the peaches we've been getting this year are extra delicious! I don't know what it is but I'm definitely not complaining.

A Pocketful of Peaches
Like many a baker, gadgets are my Achilles heel. And I've noticed that all the cooking stores are getting better and better at pumping out cute little tools and machines that illuminate previously-unknown voids in your kitchen inventory. My saving graces are that I don't have a kitchen the siz...
Hi, I've never commented before but I'm a big fan of your blog. This looks delish and so simple to make!

Sugar Snap Peas with Whipped Ricotta
We ate a wonderful dish at Franny's a few weeks ago of sugar snap peas (my favorite springtime

Return to the Kitchen
I'm back! Thank you ALL for your well-wishes and congratulations - they meant so much to me. Whether you're a long time reader, or just someone who dropped by and left a note, it made me feel that on the 23rd of May, the happiness I felt spread out beyond the sun-dappled garden where I stood w...
Yeah, it felt pretty summery outside when I made this salad, but I think I may have jumped the gun a bit since they're calling for snow today. But hey, a girl can dream!

Dreams of summer and margaritas
The beautiful weather we've been having has me craving light, summery foods...and margaritas, because to me they are the essence of summer drinks. Sometimes I believe the perfect summer day would consist of sitting downtown on the patio of one of our local Mexican restaurants and sipping marg...
I'm happy you did too! Brussels sprout and hazelnut pasta sounds delish, I will definitely have to try it.

My love affair with a vegetable
I used to hate Brussels sprouts. The way they looked, the way they smelled, their texture, and most of all their taste. I always thought they were just mushy, green balls of blandness that were often covered with some sort of fake cheese sauce. Even once I grew up a bit, and started actually lik...
But of course.

Grown-up Scones
Curried Ginger Scones So here we go...my very first blog post. I have to be honest, I'm a bit nervous about it. It's kind of intimidating to just sit down and write about yourself like the whole world is interested in what you have to say. But I think this is going to be good for me. It's a p...
Oh, there are some in your kitchen right now. I even saved you guys the actual cookies and kept the crumbles (which are actually pretty good on ice cream, so all was not lost).

Oatmeal Lace Cookies
It's snowing...again. So I am stuck inside due to these blizzard conditions. Well, maybe not blizzard but it does suck outside. I am not really a winter weather kind of person. I hate to admit it but sledding and snowball fights are not really happy past times for me. My body temperature jus...
I know! Im eating one right now!

An excess of cabbage
Sweet and Sour Cabbage Neither of us were very hungry tonight and we currently have an excess of cabbage (thanks to our local grocer's member day's sale). So this is what we came up with... Sweet and Sour Cabbage 1/4 cup sesame seeds 2 T butter 1 small onion, diced 2 cloves of garlic, minced...
I've read your blog for awhile but never commented. This looks delicious. And congrats on you engagement! I just got engaged too!

In the Mood for Love
I joked to my boyfriend this weekend that this might have been the first time since I've started working that I got a day off to celebrate Chinese New Year. Okay, so it was really Presidents' Day, but given that they practically get a whole week off in China (yes, that means they are still rev...
