It's absolutely beautiful in the countryside right now.The birds are chirping, the daffodils are blooming (in record numbers!) and the grass is slowly starting to green up on the lawn.It's easy to get lost in the tranquility out here. I find myself looking out the window a lot more often when I'm trying to work… Continue reading Savory Breakfast Bowl

Steakhouse Spinach Salad
I've been perusing my enormouse collection of old cookbooks lately hoping something will inspire me. After scrolling through Pinterest for so long, all of the recipes start to look the same. My vast collection of cookbooks, though, is full of endless opportunities. I've got cookbooks from WWII, from the 60's, from celebrities like Vincent Price… Continue reading Steakhouse Spinach Salad
Simple Nicoise Salad
This recipe was originally going to have chicken in it, to make it different from a traditional Nicoise salad. But alas, the forgetful grocery shopper strikes again. It doesn't matter how detailed my list is when I go to the supermarket---I will always forget something. I'm usually able to get my husband to pick it… Continue reading Simple Nicoise Salad
Artichoke & Chicken Sausage Quiche
...well, it's sort of a quiche. There's no crust. Does that mean it's not a quiche? What precisely defines a quiche? I'd like to think that definition includes a creamy egg bake inside of a pie pan. If that's the case this most definitely is a quiche. One of my favorite thinks to cook is… Continue reading Artichoke & Chicken Sausage Quiche
Low Carb Breakfast Hash
There's something magical about today. We're on the cusp of our first major cold front since March, and all is calm right now. The trees are still, the sun is shining, and I haven't heard a bird chirp all morning. It's like they know cold weather is coming. It's officially, officially my favorite time of… Continue reading Low Carb Breakfast Hash
Gulf Coast Cobb Salad
Happy 4th of July! This is the 10th holiday in a row I've had to work. I'm not complaining, though. Not only do I get holiday pay (yipee!) but I'm not really a fan of smaller holidays like this one. I'll soak in the fireworks and patriotism in my drive home tonight---I don't need a… Continue reading Gulf Coast Cobb Salad
German Rice Salad
I've got German food that runs through my blood. My mom's side of the family was very German. Think last names like Schiwart and Knippa. My grandma grew up on a small North Texas farm and learned how to make some of the best German food around. We eat egg noodles for Thanksgiving and Christmas.… Continue reading German Rice Salad
Denver Omelette Salad
Breakfast salads are part of the new wave of "trendy" foods. They're right on up there with avocado toast, chia pudding, and overnight oats. I tend to steer clear of the trendy foods. Avocado toast sounds like a waste of a good avocado. Chia pudding just sounds...wrong. Overnight oats seem okay, but I like my… Continue reading Denver Omelette Salad
Denver Omelette Egg Muffins
Denver omelettes are the quintessential breakfast for Midwesterners. If I'm not ordering traditional Eggs Benedict, you can catch me perusing the omelette section of any breakfast menu for that delightful omelette. There's just something about it that calls me back each and every time. Denver omelettes are simple: ham, bell pepper and onion. That's it,… Continue reading Denver Omelette Egg Muffins
Green Chile Deviled Eggs
Have you ever seen the episode of 'The Office' where Michael burns his foot on a George Foreman grill because he likes the smell of bacon when he wakes up and stepped on it? It seems so unrealistic that it's funny. Too bad that pretty much happened to me on Saturday. No, it wasn't a… Continue reading Green Chile Deviled Eggs
