Now that my sister and I are all grown up, we don’t wake up at the crack of dawn on Christmas to claw our way through presents. Instead, we like to mosey out of bed, get coffee with mom and dad, and enjoy a lazy breakfast around the fire. And while it’s nice to eat [...]

A few weeks ago, I came across a dish on The Kitchn called Summer Squash with Baked Eggs. A mouth-watering photo accompanied it (see above, looks pretty good right?) so I “pinned” the recipe on my current obsession Pinterest under Yummy Dinner Ideas. Then this weekend, I spotted eight ball yellow squash at the farmer’s [...]

Dear Martha,

Using kitchen staples (eggs, olive oil, sea salt) and questionable scraps (potatoes developing roots, limp spinach, [...]

A frittata is something that I’ve wanted to try making for ages (thanks to my love for eggs), yet its fancy name and the seemingly high-skill level needed made me steer clear of attempting the dish. Luckily, I nabbed fresh eggs from this week’s market – the most critical component to a fabulous frittata – [...]

Before I met my boyfriend he never ate breakfast, which totally baffled me. I didn’t think it was possible for anyone to wake up and function for hours on an empty stomach. Plus, hadn’t he heard the all important rule that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Needless to say, he’s jumped [...]
