Baked egg in avocado with simple salsa
We tried this baked egg recipe from Laura Vitalo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dCUF6Q99o9w Preheat the oven to 425 and bake for 15 mins (runny yolk) to 20 mins (fully cooked yolk). We did not have hot sauce on hand, so we whipped up a simple salsa similar to this online recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/simple-salsa-128822, except that we used ½ tomato,… Continue reading Baked egg in avocado with simple salsa
Buffalo chicken drumsticks with charred romaine hearts and blue cheese dressing
I grew up eating buffalo chicken wings, and we tried this ingenious supper version from Molly Gilbert’s Sheet Pan Suppers cookbook.

Spaghetti carbonara with kale
We tried this one-skillet recipe: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/09/spaghettie-carbonara-with-kale-recipe.html. Our modifications: reduced bacon to 4 oz (from 8 oz), increased chicken broth to 4 cups (from 3 ½ cups, gradually over time), reduced Parmesan to ¾ cup, and omitted any additional salt. (June 2016)

Peel and cube 2 medium-sized avocados. Gently place the plum and avocado pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with… Continue reading Plum avocado summer salad
Chinese yu choy stirfried with garlic-infused oil
This can be vegetarian if you use mushroom or other vegetable broth in lieu of chicken broth. We use one bunch of greens, 1 Tbsp oil, 4-5 garlic cloves, and ¼ cup chicken broth. Recipe (without measurements) here: http://steamykitchen.com/43-chinese-greens-spinach-yu-choy-stir-fry-recipe.html (May 2016) Note: You can substitute with one stalk western broccoli. We recommend peeling the stalk… Continue reading Chinese yu choy stirfried with garlic-infused oil
Armenian tomato and bulgur soup
This is a great recipe if you’re feeling under the weather. Using a medium Dutch oven, bring 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth to a boil. Separately, using a small pan, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil (the recipe calls for 2 Tbsp) on medium heat then sauté 1 small chopped onion. When onion is halfway cooked,… Continue reading Armenian tomato and bulgur soup
Huevos in a hole
We tried this recipe from the Pioneer Woman, except that we used leftover flour (instead of corn) tortillas: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/huevo-in-the-hole/. Very tasty, but be warned that the tortillas can burn easily in butter, so keep your burner on medium (or lower) heat. (Apr. 2016)

Mix well, and sauté until zucchini is… Continue reading Korean-style anchovy-infused zucchini
