Vegetarian Panini with Cheese, Tomato, Red Onion and Arugula

May 21, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Forgot to take a picture alas, but this is well worth making.  I was looking for a quick dinner, something warm, and thought a panini would do. I made this on sliced sourdough, not any special bread. Inside was: Dijon mustard Tomato, a few slices Fontina cheese, sliced Red onion, a few slices Pepperoncini, sliced [...]

This soup is full of carrots, tiny pasta, little meatballs, spinach and egg. I usually make it with chicken broth but this time used some of the turkey broth I made over the holiday.

It was just me and a friend for dinner tonight and both of us had a late lunch. So we needed dinner but nothing too heavy. Lunch for us here had been take out burritos and quesadillas with some wonderful tomatillo salsa as an extra. I incorporated that into the omelets and they were fantastic!  [...]

Dom DeLuise died today. I have two of his cookbooks, Eat This .. It’ll Make You Feel Better and Eat This Too: It’ll Make You Feel Better. Both have some great recipes and are fun to read besides. So after hearing he died I decided to alter my dinner plans and cook something from one [...]

Hi, I’m Allison, Ellen’s youngest daughter. Tonight, my sister was out, so I decided to make dinner for my mom. It was my first time cooking a meal on my own, and mom enjoyed it so much that she told me I had to blog it. I decided that my meal was going to be [...]

Goldenrod Eggs – Eggs in White Sauce on Toast

October 3, 2007 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I’ve seen this recipe called several different things. It is essentially hard boiled eggs in a white sauce on top of toast. We like food on bread, two notables being Welsh Rarebit and tuna melts. This is the plain version, suitable for breakfast or dinner, especially when rounded out by a cup of vegetable soup [...]

Cheese Souffle

Another great recipe from this book! And just when I’m getting into this eat local, eat free range, etc. mode, my eldest came to me tonight and said “What would you think if I became a vegetarian?” I said I was fine with that and could certainly keep her well fed, but wanted to know [...]

Blender Hollandaise and Eggs Benedict

January 9, 2006 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

My youngest discovered Eggs Benedict while going out for breakfast a while back. I’d promised I’d make them at home sometime, although I readily admit I’d never made Hollandaise Sauce and never poached an egg! The egg poaching turned out to be quite simple. I filled a skillet most of the way with water, adding [...]

Fried Egg Sandwiches

This is almost too easy to mention but my kids are suddenly taken with them, so what the heck. Fry an egg. Make toast. Put the fried egg between the slices of toast and eat. It actually makes for a pretty quick weekday breakfast. Much better than bowl of sugared cereal! Detailed directions: Put the [...]

Breakfast Burritos

My youngest has decided she loves breakfast burritos but I can’t cook them every day. Sunday I made a huge batch of fried potatoes and scrambled eggs with some cheese mixed in. Then I wrapped up a bunch of breakfast burritos and froze them. Pulled one out for her breakfast today and she was thrilled! [...]
