this isn’t a recipe ~ just a reminder. don’t forget about the simple, rich decadence of eggs! i know we all have our “favorite way” to eat eggs, but at the risk of being bossy, you gotta try it like this. just once. just a small dollop of coconut oil (maybe a teaspoon?) throw in two eggs and put a lid on the pan. let … Continue reading eggs and tomatoes.
last week was an entire week of cleaning out my fridge, and using pantry items, rather than going to the grocery store. and the fridge looks awesome! there’s a big jar of pickled homemade giardiniera, which i can’t wait to try! and there’s literally nothing else. so i’m going to the grocery store for just a few things ~ half and half for coffee, olive … Continue reading holy freezer week, batman!
