Crunchy Soft-Shell Crabs
All-Purpose Recipe for Food (a la Bittman)
We’ve found this all-purpose recipe to be adaptable to almost any cuisine.
Rice Bowl With Spinach or Pea Tendrils
This easy skillet dish is all about sweet spring vegetables. It easiest to find spinach in the markets, but look too for big bunches of snow pea tips, also called pea tendrils or pea shoots, which have a wonderful, sweet flavor. If you do use pea tips, use the midsection, the part that will be most tender and flavorful — the ends with the curly tendrils are too tough, as are the thick stalks. Use tongs to toss all of the greens in the pan.
Coffee Cream of Wheat
Have you ever worked 21 twelve hour shifts at a hospital and tried to get up the next morning to make cream of wheat for the kids for school? I grabbed the coffee instead of the milk and didn't realize it until the kids said oh yuck MOM ! I couldn't throw it away so I added some milk and sugar to my bowl and ate it. Now it's the only way I make it for myself.
Spoonbread With Roasted Green Chilies
Perfumed Adzuki Beans and Rice with Bourbon and Bacon
We enjoyed this adzuki beans and bacon dish recipe right out of the pan for a warming lunch during a cold snap. This is easy to prepare and full of flavor.
Rye and Cornmeal Muffins With Caraway
I like to serve these savory muffins, whose flavors are reminiscent of black bread and pumpernickel, with hearty borscht-type soups, smoked fish or cheese.
Savory Cornbread Muffins With Jalapeños and Corn
Cornbread bakes nicely in a muffin tin. I’ve added corn, chilies and cheese to this cornbread. With soup and a salad, it makes a great lunchtime muffin.
Breakfast reform
Thanks to Jessica Tom I have just tried cooking teff to make her wonderful pudding recipe (really great, btw). At the market I had found both teff flour and teff grain. Going with teff grain (right choice), I was then struck by how really tiny these grains are. I was also a little suspicious that they would taste...well, you know, good for you, but really not that good. But, the flavor and texture both deliver....and I mean good for you and really good tasting! I think I have just made a new best friend!
Megadarra (Lentils and Rice with Caramilized Onions)
This megadarra recipe was given to me by my dear friend Soulafa Akel. This dish is of the poor, but is wonderful... it is best served at room temperature.
Malt-O-Meal with Rooster Sauce
This unique take on Malt O Meal is obviously not your typical American breakfast recipe, but it's really good. I like dipping buttered toast in mine. Enjoy.
Pane Carasau
This pane carasau recipe is Sardinian flatbread or "sheet music" bread. It is really a lot like a cracker although I know it looks much like a tortilla.
Simplest Fried Okra
Okra, cornmeal, oil, salt. That's it. As always, take care (and wear shoes!) when deep frying. ---BTE
Sourdough & honey
It's the same as every other day; homemade multigrain rye sourdough from Jeff Hamelman's recipe with local just crystalised honey. Nothing tastes better & who wants to cook breakfast on holiday?
Jammy Boursin French Toast
This Boursin French Toast recipe is easy to prepare, just needs to be popped in the oven in the morning, and there's not much cleanup afterwards. Enjoy!
One-Eyed Sandwiches
Although they go by many other names -- egg in the basket, egg-in-the-hole, bird's nest, to name a few -- in our house we called them "one-eyed sandwiches," and the technique originated with my grandfather. I'm biased, to be sure, but there are a few small details that I think really make Grandpa's egg sandwiches better than all the other versions out there. The first is the use of white bread. (Believe me, I love grainy, wheaty bread as much as the next person, but for these sandwiches, white bread is the way to go.) Grandpa always preferred Pepperidge Farm, which has a bit of sweetness to it. Another key step is toasting the bread before you fry it. This ensures that it's nice and crisp, which makes a nice counterpart to the salty, soft-cooked egg. Last but not least, Grandpa never threw away the little rounds of toast but instead fried them along with the sandwiches, and these then became little lids for the "eyes" at the end. My sister and I always saved these for last, as a final crisp, buttery treat. I'm guessing that any small people who happen to be at your house for breakfast will do the same.
Rice with Tomatoes
My mom would gussy up plain white rice with uncooked chopped tomatoes in their own juice, a comfort food that screamed "Summer!" to me way back then, and now this simple side dish calls the same message to my kids and grandkids. Choose a full-flavored old-fashioned variety of tomato of any color, not one that's been been bred to ship well, one that is dead-ripe but not soft, and preferably one that hasn't been chilled. Sometimes, if I'm putting on airs, I'll add chopped fresh basil, chives or thyme to the tomatoes, but I (we) much prefer it without the herbs. So simple, but satisfyingly good.
Fiesta beans and rice
Easy, yummy and filling!
Simple French Toast
I realize this is the most basic recipe in the world. One of the first things that my sister and learned how to cook by watching our mom. I remember standing in the kitchen with her on Saturday mornings, beating the eggs and milk in a shallow metal pie plate. We always used whatever bread was in the house, and we always topped it with powdered sugar. (And sometimes syrup too!) Over the years, I have tried different variations (adding cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla to the egg mixture) but I come back to this one and realize for me, it is all about the cooking technique rather than the ingredients. This yields french toast that is more bready than custardy, as is my preference. It serves one because believe it or not, my husband doesn't like french toast, custardy or not.
Bell-less, Whistle-less, Damn Good French Toast
There are things in life that just ought to be simple, and to my taste buds, French toast is one of them. My recipe has only three ingredients.
Escarole Soup With Rice
Fried Mush
I realize that the name does not sound promising, however ... when we were kids my Mom and my Stepdad had a cool old VW camper van, you know the kind with the mini fridge and the fold down table, and a bunk area in the back? They would pack the van and we would go camping, first in Baja and around California, then later in New Mexico and Colorado ... Mom always packed her iron skillet and everything needed for fried mush, which is somehow better eaten outdoors by a morning campfire but still delicious in my kitchen just now ... Mom also instructed me not to go messing with the recipe as I am wont to do, but rather to cook it as it is meant to be cooked. My Mom is an artist ... I didn't inherit her talent for creating visual art but I do think that my inherited creativity comes out in the kitchen. For more on Mom's art check out : www.marysegal.com - aargersi
Poppa Hy's Matzoh Brei
My Poppa Hy was a fabulous dancer, a dress designer, a card shark, a wonderful grandfather, and he made hands down the greatest matzoh brei ever. Saturday morning breakfast was the highlight of every weekend visit. He would come home from temple, change his clothes make coffee in their old fashioned percolator and slowly and methodically , start making matzoh brei. We would sit at the table waiting for each pancake to arrive, cut into 8 perfect slices. I like 3/4 of mine with salt, pepper and cottage cheese, and the last with wedge with maple syrup, my brother goes for maple syrup and blueberries. Poppa Hy had a magic pan which is currently in my cousins possession, though that is in negotiations.

They are simple enough to feed a toddler enjoying her first movie and with flavor enough to satisfy grown ups on a cozy movie night... after the kids have gone to bed. Make these once and you'll want to make sure you always have some around.
