Writing a how-to on making scrambled eggs feels like taking my virtual life in my hands. Everyone makes scrambled eggs differently; everyone has strong feelings about them. And some of you will inevitably say that this is elementary! Everyone already knows how to do this! Well, you know what? I just wanted to make scrambled eggs. And personally? I like them creamy, luscious, and custard-like. Here is how I do it. More
I developed this recipe specifically for those times when I'm dining solo. It's not that it can't be expanded to feed two or more, but I like the fact that it is my special, alone-time treat.

I am very happy to share it with you today. More
Frittatas have saved me on more hungry weeknights than I care to count.

Eggs are back, but they're not coming to you by way of a poultry farm conveyer belt; they're coming from a backyard, a rooftop, maybe even your own living room. More
3 Square Meals (+ Dessert) is one of my favorite themes at The Kitchn, but I am equally excited about this next month that's guaranteed to be packed with tips and recipes for warm weather entertaining. This week we are focusing on appetizers, but there's Easter to look forward to, as well. I figure I'd pack a double whammy: quiche is the quintessential spring dish, whether served as a nibble before the main event or as the shining star of a casual brunch. More
Easter is around the corner, so I wanted to revisit these surprise eggs I made a couple years ago. I used them as placecards for an Easter lunch.
