It seems every time I buy a baguette it ends up rock hard the next day. This is what I do to not feel guilty, plus I love french toast! I use milk, eggs, vanilla (lots) and cinnamon for the mixture to soak the bread in.

Chicken, broccoli, roasted tomato, herbed cheese omelette
Omelettes are a window to what is in my refrigerator at the moment. Fairway has delicious Australian roasted tomatoes that I like to buy. I had Boursin cheese which was interesting in the omelette, too. This one was kind of chunky and I think the best ones I have made have more fresh herbs and bacon.
Fried Eggs with Rosemary Ham
This kind of speaks for itself. The Trader Joes Rosemary ham again. I think I hit my max with it and have moved on now. Still good. Just had a little too much lately.
Trail mix whole wheat rolls and granola
This is a clean out the cupboards type of day but they turned out great! I was trying to get more room in the cupboard and had so many partially used bags of different nuts and dried fruits used for various recipes. I cut up a fresh apple, added dried apricots, dried cranberries, pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds, almond slivers, cleaned…
Pasta in cream sauce with corn, broccoli and ham with chicken
This was another peek into the frig dinner. I cooked up chicken thighs and tenders that needed to be cooked or else. I cooked them in olive oil, salt and lots of pepper. I made this new shape of pasta that looks like little pieces of lasagna noodles. I sautéed some cooked broccoli, ham, corn, peas and red peppers. I…
Banana Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
I love to make buttermilk pancakes with fresh buttermilk but when I have tons of overripe bananas and blueberries this is what you get. I guess I am going through a buttermilk pancake phase now trying to perfect it and experiment with possible variations. These have a sprinkle of coconut sugar on top. Not a good idea. It turned to burnt…
Pizza with garlic, smoked mozzarella, provolone, charred corn, broccoli, shrimp, bacon, shallots
The name and the pictures pretty much say how I made this. Again, a window to the current contents of my refrigerator on a Trader Joes pizza dough crust. Some fresh italian parsley on top after it came out of the oven. It was a really interesting combination of flavors. Smoked mozzarella is a cool cheese that I have never…
Pastrami Grilled Cheese Sandwich on Rye
This Levy’s Real Jewish Rye is a really cool bread I found here in NYC. I am sure I will never find this in CA. It was perfect for this pastrami sandwich I made for Henry. I steamed the Trader Joes pastrami and melted the auricchio provolone inside with buttered bread. Not low calorie but super yummy for Roger or…
Barramundi, homemade croutons with salad
I have been eating lunch at Sweet Green and loving their salads and realized that a good salad it dependent on the freshness of the greens and freshness of the dressing so I got really good greens from the farmers market at Union Square and made my own simple vinagrette. The fish was from Trader Joes frozen. It turned out…
