Strawberry Rhubarb Scones

Happy Cinco de Mayo! It’s already Thursday, can you believe it? I must have been in a Royal Wedding daze or something. Where did this week go? What an eventful one it has been already! And I’m not talking about the news, people; This is not that kind of blog. So on Monday, I had the bright idea to try to be a part-time vegan (no weekends, those are always…

Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

So, I don’t know about you, but I am pret-ty excited about this royal wedding. After watching every single special on television this week (and taping a few others), I feel incredibly knowledgeable about the big day. While most of you out there are completely over all of the hub-bub, I simply can’t wait. I get it. Who are these people? The idea of a monarchy is sooooo 1540. How…

Deviled Eggs Three Ways

Apparently, it’s good to be a tax lawyer in Charlottesville after tax day! Andrew the H has two days off this week…Surprise!! So, even though the weather report is threatening a few thunderstorms (which I will no longer take lightly, see last week’s events), we are going out to enjoy the cloud-covered sun. After weeks of seeing very little of Andrew on the weekends, I am excited to finally have…

Happy Friday! So to end a very long, rainy week, I am happy to report that the sun  finally decided to show its face again, AND spring is right around the corner (can you believe March is only a few short days away?). Daylight savings time? Is that you? Your late nights are so close, I can feel it. In all honesty, I have been planning to post these granola…

Huevos Rancheros

Continuing with the brunch theme on this President’s Day, I bring you a ridiculously good huevos rancheros recipe. See, I have this problem. I absolutely love eggs, especially fried eggs, on top of just about anything.  On top of pasta? Sure, why not. Oh, an egg comes on that pizza? Well, don’t mind if I do. Smothered on this grilled cheese sandwich? Yes, please! (The lucky ones in NYC can…

Boozy French Toast

boozy french toast

Memories of Christmas morning always include french toast, and my grandfather made the absolute best. We would bring out the griddle, and he would fry the custard-soaked french bread slices until crisp and golden. Dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of bacon and fresh squeezed orange juice, it was the perfect, if not calorie-laden, fuel for…

Banana Yogurt Pancakes

Breakfast has always been my favorite meal. Well, that is until dessert came along, but please don’t tell breakfast. Most mornings I wake up and make scrambled eggs before work because to be completely honest, cereal just doesn’t do the trick. Some may think I would get sick of scrambled eggs after eating them every single weekday. But I guess it is one of those habits that has stuck with…
