Chickpea & Cauliflower with Indian Spices

Little Bites Around Town

Sometimes when I'm headed to work and need a little something before I start my work day, I'll pick up a couple empenadas from this corner store to tide me over. It makes me wonder what other quick bites are out there in other peoples daily routines. Cheap, easy, and delicious.

Scrambled Egg Salad

I have this thing about eggs. I hated them for year. Slowly I've come around on them though. I love them in all forms: poached, over easy, scrambled. But honestly, I feel they serve a function and not a central role. I love them for what they add. This morning I was going to scramble some eggs but I wanted something else in them, some veggies, some cheese, something. What I decided on was to make them into a salad. Roasted peppers, some arugala, pickled fennel, and some cherry tomatoes. We put hard boiled eggs in salads right, so what's the difference if we just substitute some scrambled eggs. And to be honest, it was delicious.

Homemade Pizza

I made a double batch of dough a couple weeks ago and I'd been telling myself to keep half in the freezer for when I was feeling lazy. That's exactly how this guy came to be. Thrown together with a who's who of my refrigerator's content: roasted peppers, red onions, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, Giardiniera, and coppa on half.

The dough never came out quite right. I still need to tweak the recipe. Too much yeast, not enough salt. Well, at least I have a reason to eat more pizza.
