Fresh Summer Salad


Ok. This is another one of those four-ingredient dishes: cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and basil.

Cold Cucumber Soup

So here’s the thing. I don’t do leftovers for breakfast. 

For lunch or dinner that’s fine. But when it’s time for breakfast, I want breakfast. I don’t care if it’s eggs, pancakes, or cold cereal – it’s my favorite meal of the day. But this morning, with stomach rumbling and a dozen beautiful farm fresh eggs sitting in the refrigerator, all I could think about was leftover soup from last night. You know that’s some good soup.

Simple is good


Sometimes the simplest things really are the best.

It’s been raining all day and at 1:30 the bowl of cereal I had for breakfast just wasn’t cutting it anymore. With no ramen or canned soup in sight, I started poking around in the fridge and found some leftover brown rice, a couple dozen eggs and some tomatoes that needed to be eaten soon. A block of cheddar cheese sealed the deal.
