Pain Perdu aka French Bread
Here in the States, we call this egg-battered and fried bread “French Toast.” In France, it is known to as “Pain Perdu” (pan per-doo), which literally translates to “Lost Bread.” The term refers to the method in which this bread

Watercress and Tomato Salad with Broccoli Coins
In a previous post (found here), I talked about the marvel that is the broccoli stalk. It is a part of the tree-like vegetable that is crisp like an apple, and mildly sweet like a cucumber. It tastes great cooked,

BST (Bacon Spinach Tomato) Sandwich
Today for lunch I made a sandwich. It was a quick revision of the classic BLT; revised mostly because I just used what I already had in the kitchen. The only change really was the substitution of spinach in for

Romaine Wedge Salad
The thing I like about salads is the creative license that can be taken when building them. There are so many options of ingredients to choose from. Which greens? Just one type, or a mix of lettuces? What kind of

Fried Egg with (Turkey) Bacon
Nothing brings me out to my imagined country-style life like fried eggs and bacon. Having grown up in a big melting pot of a city (San Francisco, to be exact), I find myself drawn to the ideas of suburbia, small

Deviled Eggs
As a lover of eggs, having them in deviled form is an exceptionally wonderful treat. They not only look so darling and decadent, but also smell delicious and taste delightful from the subtle hint of added truffle oil. As the

Waffles
In my opinion, homemade waffles fall into the category of Ultimate-in-Lazy-Leisure-Breakfasting. It is right up there with other breakfast delights such as French toast, Eggs Benedict, and the Frittata. Sure, most people reserve the laborious task of waffle-making for the

Eggs Faux-Benedict
Have you ever had proper Eggs Benedict? Delicious, yes. Have you ever tried making proper Eggs Benedict? Torture, yes! Poaching an egg is tricky enough, but throwing in a Hollandaise sauce, plus timing the elements to bring it all together

Maple-Glazed Bacon with Thyme
The best way to make glazed bacon is to bake it in the oven, on a rack, over a baking sheet, with another sheet pressed on top (to keep them from curling), then take the sheet off, glaze the bacon,

Focaccia Sandwich
Give your standard sandwich an instant upgrade by simply using a gorgeous piece of bread. In this case, I used an olive-parmesan focaccia that added an extra dimension of flavor and which also looked great. Remember, we eat with our
