Eggs in a Nest – Waterless Poached Eggs

By

Eggs in a Nest Poaching eggs in a cruciferous forest of spiralized vegetables versus water is such a delightful wonder. It makes a delicious, quick and easy one skillet breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner for several people.  This budget friendly recipe I created came from the notion of “How can I take a popular American breakfast of bacon, hash browns, and eggs and make it healthier?” I also enjoy creating “Edible Optical Illusions” and most people I showed the dish to thought it was an Asian noodle entrée. So instead of heading to that dinner, walk into the kitchen, grab those… Read More

My Sweetheart Strawberry

By

My Sweetheart Strawberry While I was taking strawberries out of the basket and carefully checking them, I grabbed a strawberry that felt quite strange. When I looked at the strawberry that I had pulled out of the basket, it was a perfectly heart-shaped strawberry! Of course I took a picture of it, pampered it and just looked in amazement. I put in the refrigerator, then the freezer, then back in the refrigerator. I was so excited and thinking of ways to save this beautiful and rare strawberry that looked as though it was custom designed for February to celebrate Hearth… Read More
