Egg Tomato and Scallion Sandwich

Sliced hard boiled eggs, juicy ripe tomatoes, chopped scallions with a touch of mayonnaise, salt and pepper – enjoy this for breakfast or lunch.

With Spring in the air, I thought I’d share this sandwich from the archives which I often make for my older daughter, Karina. It’s inexpensive, easy to make and she loves it!

Before I left my previous job in Manhattan, there was a small cafe that served this simple egg sandwich that I was hooked on. It’s so simple but the flavors just work with the tomatoes and scallions. Now that I work at home, I make it quite often for myself and my daughter as she often requests it.

Easy Tip: Keep hard boiled eggs in your refrigerator for a quick breakfast on the go, to add to sandwiches or even salads. It only takes a few minutes to boil a few eggs, here’s a foolproof way to make perfect hard boiled eggs every time^[1].

Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

by Pam on December 4, 2012

My daughter didn’t want a cake or cupcakes for her 10th birthday. Instead she wanted chocolate and peppermint cookies. I found this recipe on Tasty Kitchen^[1] that looked perfect. The house smelled amazing while these cookies baked and they put a huge smile on the birthday girl’s face. The peppermint frosting and candy cane crumbles made these chocolate cookies extra special. They turned out rich and decadent which is perfect for my chocolate loving daughter who absolutely LOVED them. Happy birthday to the sweetest girl I know. I am so thankful and proud to be your mom. xoxo

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.

Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt together in a small bowl – mix well.

Using a mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth. Add the egg, vanilla, and peppermint extract and mix well with beater. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until combined. Add the chocolate chips and the pieces of crushed candy cane; mix until combined.

Place teaspoons of dough on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press the cookies with the back of the spatula to flatten them a bit. Place into the oven and bake 7-8 minutes; remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and milk; mix until well combined. Drizzle the frosting over the cookies on the wire rack. Side Note: Place wax paper or a paper towel down under the rack for a quicker clean up. Sprinkled the crushed candy cane over the top of each cookie before the frosting sets. Enjoy!

Tomato and Asparagus ?Carbonara?

Tomato and Asparagus “Carbonara”

by Pam on September 30, 2012

I found this recipe in the September 2012 issue of Cooking Light and I couldn’t wait to make it. It took very little prep or time to make and it ended up being creamy, cheesy, and totally delicious. I loved that, even though it didn’t have bacon like a traditional carbonara has, it was still flavorful and satisfying. My husband, son, and I all loved it. My daughter, on the other hand, thought it was too cheesy and she didn’t like the texture. It’s no surprise since she doesn’t like cheese. Oh well… her loss.

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water per instructions.

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes; add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.

Mix the egg, Parmesan cheese, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, to taste until well combined. Drain the pasta and immediately add the cheese/egg mixture to the pasta and stir until well combined and the cheese has melted. Add the tomato and asparagus mixture to the pan and mix until evenly coated. Place pasta into the serving bowl and sprinkle the top with the torn basil leaves. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
