It is a snowy day here in Massachusetts. After rushing around all morning getting kids dressed, organized and delivered to school, we were ready to slow down for a bit with a cup of tea and some traditional scones. This recipe has been adapted from Baking at Home with The Culinary Institute of America. Ingredients: 1/2 […]
Breakfast
Leftover Breakfast Hash
We were recently given some beautiful eggs from our neighbors. They really are the best kind, aren’t they? So much better than store bought. Anyway…we also had a lot of leftover stuff we wanted to use up so we decided to make a breakfast hash. It is not often that we are even together […]
Jarlsberg, Arugula & Mushroom Omelet
We’ve used these flavors before in our Jarlsberg grilled cheese with shitake and arugula and they worked so well we reuse them quite often.

Cherry Almond Tea Cakes
We’ll be honest…things don’t always go according to plan. The plan was to make these amazing cupcakes- follow a recipe- tweak it the end…and it was a big, fat fail. The batter oozed all over the oven and left a hardened mess on our cupcake tins. So…plan two. Make the next cupcake on our […]
