I’ve made – and loved! – scrambled eggs with leftover dill before, but it wasn’t until I came across the Herb and Goat Cheese Omelet* recipe in Sweet Paul Eat & Make that it ever occurred to me to throw the dill into an omelette*! Ingredients: makes 1 how-you-like-it omelette […]

Taking its name from an obscure line in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, West Egg Cafe serves up a mean Southern breakfast in the Westside Provisions District 🙂 Breakfast Menu Fried Green Tomatoes with Pepper Jelly Belgian Waffle with Spiced Honey Butter Chai Latte Spinach, Mushroom, and Goat Cheese Omelette with […]
As soon as I saw this recipe on The Lipstick Giraffe blog, I knew I had to try my hand at making it sooner or later. (This is coming from a girl who used to eat tomato sandwiches like Harriet the Spy growing up :-)) Side story: My minuscule-bordering-on-microscopic hometown […]

Hub and I had the best creamy smoothies at The Umstead a couple years ago, and I lucked up on making a surprisingly similar one while I was experimenting with smoothie recipes this past weekend. Remember that scene in The Best Man when Robin (a caterer, I think) was all excited […]
DISCLAIMER: Although bits and pieces of fruits/veggies may have wandered into be present in some of these images, this is NOT a health food post. Not in the slightest 🙂 True to his word, hub bought a waffle maker and got to work making some Wafles & Dinges-like waffles. The recipe literally took […]
Grits are one of those dishes people either love or can’t stand. I believe that a good percentage of those in the latter category feel that way because they haven’t tasted good grits (the ones at Prime, for example). Like, maybe they were forced to endure bland, gritty, made-with-only-water grits, […]
This bowl of oatmeal looks good… … and this one looks better! Adding a bit of color (sliced apples and pumpkin seeds) and texture (sprinkled leftover ingredients: nuts, raisins, sunflower seeds) takes this dish from good to better 🙂 Get the recipe for this homemade oatmeal here. *I’m considering adding […]
What’s not to love about smoothies? When made with quality ingredients and without tons of extra sugars, juices, and empty calories, they’re the perfect portable, quick, easy, painless, and above all yummy fruit and veggie delivery systems. Some mornings are crazy hectic though – I don’t always have time to […]
I drink lots of homemade smoothies, usually about 2/day. Some of my reasons are health-based, i.e. painlessly increasing my whole fruit/veggie intake.
