Strawberry Rhubarb Brioche
Break it open while it's still warm and you'll want to bury your nose in it. Which is not the same as the Strawberry Rhubarb stew. You'll just lick that off your plate. Less than a buck for a great little breakfast.
Spring Farro Salad
A perfectly delicious Way to get a perfectly healthy meal into your diet. High-protein whole grain. Barely cooked vegetables. Almost makes itself in 25 minutes. Light, bright, satisfying meal with big flavors. Five dollars for two of you.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Soda Pop
Back in the BCS Soda Lab again. Trying out the Spring flavors this time. Still looking for that magic flavor combination that will convert each and every cola addict of every age to a healthy soda pop drinker. So I cooked some strawberries and rhubarb.
Savory Spring French Toast
The already rich and delicious brioche bread absorbs so much of the milk, egg and cheese mixture that the French toast looks, feels and tastes like a cheese souffle. That goes perfectly with early Spring asparagus, leeks and radishes. $2.50 per serving.
On the Ball: Roll-aways
Another entertaining exercise. The Ball is unstable. It rolls. Unless you exert force to keep it in place. Which means you engage many large and small muscles. Very time-efficient. And it burns more calories.
Slower Sunday: May Flowers
April showers sure paid off. Take a little break, just a minute, to look at something beautiful. Nothing else. Maybe you'll end up thinking you gotta go to the park. A botanical garden or something. Or maybe you won't think about anything at all. Just Press Play.
Better Cheaper Buns
Homemade buns for hamburgers and hot dogs. So much Better than those artificially moist things in plastic bags you think they'd be twice the price. No. They're half the price. They're airy and flavorful. So good you could skip the burger and have one for breakfast.
To Amphitheater Lake in the Tetons
This is one of those hikes that makes your day. Makes your vacation. Makes IMAX look like a postcard. Ten miles out and back. Six thousand feet up and down. 4,000 calories burned. A great full day.
Spring Frittata
A perfect meal in a pan. Early Spring asparagus and onions. Really fresh eggs and goat cheese. For dinner on a still cool night, eat it warm. For lunch, let it cool to room temperature. A few minutes of chopping and stirring. One suspenseful second of flipping.
Pizza with onions to cry for.
Looks too beautiful to eat. Tastes even Better. Maybe the best under-$2 pizza ever. The crust is light and crisp, just faintly salty and sweet at the same time. The onions are very sweet, almost caramelized. Required kitchen skills: stirring, slicing.
