This is a seasonal variation on the Simple Two Egg Scramble I posted previously. This time of year, my chives start to blossom. The blooms need to be pulled off to keep the plant from dying back and going to seed, particularly if I want fresh chives all Summer. The full blossoms are too much…
Chicken is one of my favorite (and one of the most versatile) dinner staples. Italian spices – Rosemary, Oregano, Basil – are my favorite to cook with. And cheese makes everything one million times tastier (in my opinion). So, this recipe is the magical culmination of all those tasty and delicious elements in the kitchen….
There is nothing more Kentucky than a little bourbon. Add some sugar and some sweet potatoes and you have a tasty side dish that can easily accompany any meal. In the South, we love our sweet potatoes. If you traditionally don’t like sweet potatoes this little recipe might just change your mind. As an added…
I was reading an article about a restaurant in Cambridge that makes grits with poached eggs and I thought “Yum, I can totally make that.” Here is my personal take on that concept, with plenty of cheesy goodness. You’ll likely have some leftover cheese grits at the end of breakfast, so I’ve included a suggestion…
Last night I was at my dear friend Kristen’s house and she made this amazing Kale! She often downplays her cooking abilities, but everything I’ve had at her house has been divine and she is an excellent hostess. I loved the Kale so much I asked for the details so I could share it with…

About five years ago I fell in love with Lavender. The smell and beauty of the plant entranced me. I quickly learned, after visiting numerous lavender farms, that it has many culinary uses and adds a unique flavor and beautiful scent to everyday dishes. I now use lavender in my cooking on a regular basis…
Warm banana bread with melting butter – is there anything more homey? The smell alone is enough to make your mouth water. I’ve been making this banana bread for over 10 years, and have made a number of modifications and additions during that time. It is a great recipe though I’m sure I’ll think of…
I am a big fan of savory foods in the morning. I love a few bites of sweet added into the mix, but savory and salty satisfies my palate in the mornings. I’ve been making simple scrambles for years with numerous types of ingredients – meats, cheeses, veggies and spices. Below are the basic instructions…
I’ve been making these brownies for many years and they are one of my all time favorites. The chewy texture of this recipe is perfection (thanks to all the eggs and butter). If you don’t have lavender you can omit it, but it has a wonderful aroma and unique flavor that compliments the chocolate. If…
