Scallops are the Southern husband’s favorite, and lemon is the Southern husband’s favorite. Butter and cheese are two of my favorites, so I knew if I put all of these things together in one light and lovely recipe for scallops in lemon butter sauce, I pretty much couldn’t go wrong. And bonus points – this recipe takes about 15 minutes tops from walking into your kitchen to sitting down at your table (I love it when that happens!). Ready for dinner party deliciousness that is quick enough for a Monday school night? Let’s make it!
Farmer’s Market Omelet
I named this particular omelet recipe the farmer’s market omelet because it uses three of my very favorite kinds of local summer produce: sweet corn, cheery cherry tomatoes, and aromatic basil. The omelet itself is filled with creamy cheddar cheese, and the savory cheese mixed with the sweet veggies…well, let’s just say that when you find yourself at your local farmer’s market, please think farmer’s market omelet. Let’s make it!
Asparagus and Fontina Quiche
Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and I have two EXCELLENT ideas for you. The first is to make your mama this delectable asparagus and fontina quiche, full of bright springtime asparagus and creamy, dreamy fontina cheese. And the second is to give her a copy of Joanna Gaines’ brand new cookbook, MAGNOLIA TABLE. I think you might see where my latest giveaway is going, right? OH YES.
So find some asparagus, think some good thoughts about your mama, and let’s make it!
Brie Artichoke Souffle Omelet
Oh my friends, I have had a WEEK. A week that absolutely demanded the decadence of a Brie artichoke souffle omelet, and if you have never had a souffle omelet, you are in for a treat – all the puffy delight of a souffle, but cooked on the stovetop omelet-style with none of the souffle fear. Stuffed with artichoke hearts and Brie cheese and oh my my. Jump down to the recipe if you want to just hear about souffle omelets instead of my saga. Or read through my saga. One way or the other – let’s make it!
Gnocchi Macaroni and Cheese
Okay, the recipe for gnocchi macaroni and cheese comes with a saga, and for once it does not involve me. Nope, it involves my sweet little sister, and it has a happy ending, but just let me say that if there was ever a saga that was calling out for Extreme Comfort Food it’s this one. And this gnocchi macaroni and cheese is comfort food to the MAX. Soft pillows of gnocchi nestled in cheddar cheese, and preferably served up in your very favorite bowl. Ready to both hear more about the saga and the gnocchi? Let’s make it!
Bacon Egg Muffins
If you have been reading this blog for any length of time, you know how much I like to muffin-ize things. French toast, for example, and the middle of the cinnamon roll for another. So I guess it was only a matter of time before I muffined up a savory version, and what better way to start than with bacon and eggs? In this case, Canadian bacon, whose round shape is practically begging to be cooked up in a muffin tin. Ready to muffin your breakfast? Let’s make them!
