Grilled Romaine and Prosciutto Salad with Greeked-Out Gorgonzola
I don’t cook a lot of red meat, but flank steak is one meal that I enjoy for both is ease of preparation and great flavor. Plus, it’s inexpensive compared to many other cuts of beef and I like what I can do with the leftovers. When I first served this grilled romaine salad with…
Pasta with Fava Beans, Greens & Pancetta
This wholesome pasta dish was inspired by two great finds: fresh fava beans and a green I had never before heard of–pak choy. Upon further research, the name pak choy seems to be used interchangeably with boy choy. However, what I bought (pictured below) was seemingly the shoot of the bok choy–a baby, baby bok…

Baked Egg in a Potato
Sadie, Silvia, Polly, and Peppy are our backyard chickens, and they keep us well supplied with fresh eggs! I am always dreaming up creative ways to use the eggs, and I recently saw a picture which inspired this easy dish my whole family adored. The recipe is very loose. Basically, you bake an egg in…
