Eat. Drink. Live.
What do you do when you promised to make a casserole for a brunch at church, and only remember that when you wake up at 6 am? You run to the nearest grocery store and purchase yourself some Tater Tots. […]
What a glorious breakfast! So beautiful I had to share. You don’t really need a recipe for this, but here are a couple of tips. Use a cast iron pan that is just big enough to hold the eggs. A […]
Megan and I are on a pancake jag. We’re hunting down the best in lohud land for an upcoming story. No story on brunch of any sort would be complete without a mention of the Beehive in Armonk. It is […]
The last thing you want to do when you wake up on Christmas morning is cook. So make your breakfast the night before. How does egg, spinach, sausage and cheese sound? I’ve made this Christmas breakfast strata recipe a few times, […]
Little Yukons, fresh eggs from our farmer friend’s chickens, baby herbs from the garden, plus lots of mustard. A delicious potato salad, inspired by Potato Salad with Seven Minute Eggs from Bon Appetit. I love how the mustard and the […]
How’s that for delicious efficiency?
We have a beautiful cookbook from Blackberry Farm, which is not too far from our cabin in Tennessee. With a quasi-Southern menu for our Easter supper already going, we thought: why not make Blackberry Farm’s Deviled Eggs, which, according to […]
Cabbage. Red onions. Turmeric. Beets. They all make beautiful dye for Easter eggs, and it’s all-natural, too. And what a lucky discovery: the dye that was left on the paper towels as they dried? Made some of our eggs even […]
The East Pole is a new(ish) restaurant on the Upper East Side from the guys behind The Fat Radish and The LeadBelly. We chose brunch at The East Pole becuase it was only a few blocks from the Whitney, with […]
One of our favorite salads, and an excuse to have breakfast for dinner. Wash the lettuce and make most of your dressing, then put a pot of water on to simmer. Cook the lardons in a pan on real low […]
Another storm! We woke up to a few inches, and expected even more to pile up throughout the day. A fortifying breakfast was in order! Benton’s bacon, Charlie’s eggs and Fairway’s brioche. Delishy!
A great summer vegetable frittata recipe to solve your leftovers problem. Use whatever vegetables you have on hand, and add meat or chicken or bacon, or not. Summer Vegetable Frittata 1 onion, diced 3 cooked sausages, cut into coins 1 […]
A serendipitous supper on Friday night! Kris and Tom brought over salad from their garden, zucchini blossoms from the farmers market, cheese and salami, and eggs from their friend’s chickens. We put that together with our garlic scape pesto, Wave […]
Leftovers in the fridge? This is the way to go. Saute some onions, chop up the leftovers — we had sausage and asparagus from the garden — add them to the onions and pour 8 or so beaten eggs over […]
A long time ago — so long that I did not even have a blog — there was a failed attempt at Tom and Jerry cocktails. After the recent article in the New York Times, I felt I needed vindication. […]
What do you think of topping an already decadent BLT with a runny farm-fresh egg? I think it was genius. But maybe you think it’s outrageous? Whatever the case, it’s not an every day sort of meal. But when you […]
My version of the terrific egg burrito at Mimi’s Plate in Tappan. It’s made with eggs, avocado, cheddar and salsa.
Another winner of a recipe from Mindy Fox’s Salads: Beyond the Bowl book. I’m taking a little bit of liberty with this recipe, however, because I cook eggs differently than Mindy does. She prefers to prick a hole in the […]
Leftover salads — both leafy and potato with snap peas — with chopped pork and eggs. Yum!
We had some good eating and drinking on the porch Friday might, what with Irene’s brilliant idea to make martinis with pickled garlic scapes and then a good group effort on a salad with Stone Barns greens, eggs and berries, […]
Greg may be at work, but that doesn’t mean we can’t eat well on Saturday nights here at SCF. I present eggs over easy with Schaller & Weber lardons, arugula from the garden and Wave Hill bread with lemon olive […]
Yes, folks, it’s February. And we’re sitting outdoors at the Art Cafe, drinking delicious coffee and having a lovely lunch. Incredible.
For Saturday night supper this week, we went vegetarian: Roasted Vegetable Frittata with asparagus, zucchini, roasted red peppers, chives and feta cheese.
On Valentine’s Day, with Greg at work til midnight, I celebrated my love affair with eggs. I made some local Hudson Valley polenta, warmed up some leftover tomato auce and poached an egg in the sauce. Voila, vegetarian eggs in […]
Yes, as our friend Tania commented on facebook, Art Cafe is like our new Cheers! But we found a new discovery there for brunch Sunday, and I think it will become our regular order: Shakshooka: It’s eggs baked in a […]
I swear they make the best cappuccino on the planet at Art Cafe in Nyack. Even better than Italy. Seriously. Go try it. You’ll see what I mean.
We got these great English muffins mail order from Wolferman’s. We’d cleaned out the freezer and found some ham. Greg cooked these up with his special egg rings he found on sale and Williams-Sonoma eons ago. That’s a breakfast of […]
With the snow falling outside, we decided to go for bacon. And why not?
Soft boiled eggs, cooked for exactly five minutes and then shocked with ice water. Cranberry-walnut toast from Bobolink Dairy. Before. After. Slurp.
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
