When we were in the North Shore part of Oahu, we saw acai bowls being sold everywhere. It seemed like every beach we went to and every road we drove on had a food truck or three parked nearby advertising “fresh fruit” and “Acai Bowls”. (Also, shrimp – but that’s another recipe/post for another day.) And every single one of…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Huevos Rancheros
Huevos Rancheros is one of those things that I see on the menu of just about every brunch place we go to, but never ever think to order because why on earth would I want salsa all up on my eggs? Hollandaise sauce, yes. Soy sauce, for sure (it’s an Asian thing). Ketchup and/or salsa, nope. Buuuuttttt,…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Lemon Blueberry Muffin Tops
I have a confession to make…we didn’t cook brunch this weekend. This post is a sham! Well, it’s technically not a sham in the sense that I did actually bake muffin tops this week…but it is a sham in the sense that I specifically made them on Friday night so that I could have a post…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese & Scallion Scrambled Eggs On Toast
Happy Easter, everyone! What are you all doing today? In my family, we don’t really have any Easter traditions. When I was a kid, my parents would buy me stuffed bunnies every year and take me to local Easter egg hunts, but once I got older Easter stopped being a thing. I think that happens…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Popovers & Blackberry Butter
Now that Spring is officially here, and the days are longer, brighter, and generally nicer, I’m determined to start making the most of our time outside of the office. Starting with the weekends. No more huddling on the couch for hours at a time, watching reruns of Deadwood (or Castle…or Big Bang Theory…), eating cold leftover…read more »
Pumpkin Muffins with Brown Butter Glaze
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Sorry about the lack of Snacktastic Sunday post last week, but I was too worn out from our cabin adventures to cook anything for the Patriots game. We ordered Chinese takeout instead, and it was delicious. You know what else is delicious? These muffins! So far this fall I’ve been reveling in my love for…read more »
Cinnamon Apple Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup
I may have failed to produce any edible football watching snacks last weekend, but I did manage to put together a pretty great breakfast for us Sunday morning. Crispy oven-fried bacon, scrambled eggs with goat cheese, a big tasty pile of these fluffy cinnamon apple pancakes, and the most amazing apple cider syrup to drown said pancakes in. So much…read more »
Runny Fried Egg, Kale & Beet Toasts
Fun fact: when you eat nothing all day but nachos, pigs-in-a-blanket dipped in ketchup and blue cheese, and hot & sticky slow cooker chicken wings (recipe forthcoming), and then you drink a bunch of Diet Coke and a single glass of red wine to wash it all down, and you are no longer 18-25 years old, you wake up the…read more »
Oeufs en Cocotte + Paris
Hi y’all…it’s me! What’s going on with you? Sorry about the lack of posts here at Just Putzing Around the Kitchen the last two weeks, but I’ve been on vacation! And then I was jet-lagged, so there wasn’t much of any action in my kitchen. Also, I lost my camera cable thingy in Iceland and…read more »
Garden Scramble
When I told Dan I wanted to go GF, his immediate reaction was confusion (what’s gluten?), followed closely by panic. Was this the end of his gluten eating days? No more bread? No more cookies? OMG, was I trying to starve him? No. I was not. In fact, we’ve been eating better than ever since I…read more »
