Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Sunday, March 17th, 2013

I hope everyone had a fun Saint Patrick's Day! I went to Shawn O'Donnell's for a great Irish breakfast: rashers, grilled tomatoes, O'Brian potatoes, fried eggs, and toast.   I got to see the Snohomish Country Firefighters Pipes and Drums, and generally had a good time people watching. The pipe ...

Pork, Shiitake, and Snap Pea Stir Fry

Monday, March 4th, 2013

I had other plans for my ground pork, but my oven disagreed and died on me. Drat. The baked dumplings will have to wait for another day. The stovetop still works, though, so I went for a quick stir fry. This turned out quite well, especially for ...

Spinach and Feta Egg White Rounds

Sunday, November 18th, 2012

These are a quick and easy breakfast on the go. I make a batch, freeze them, and take one with me to work each morning. You can change it up with just about any type of veggie and/or cheese. Just keep the ratios about the same. Spinach and ...
