I’m interrupting my series of posts about our trip to Hawaii for an easy, protein-packed breakfast recipe. When we went to LA a few weeks ago, we went to FIG in Santa Monica for brunch and I tried ordering their spinach and gruyere quiche. Unfortunately, they had run out, so I ended up getting a […]
I’ve been totally lame this summer. I haven’t been giving you nearly enough recipes for the fabulous fruits and vegetables that were bountiful at farmer’s markets and grocery stores, because I’ve been traveling and moving and working and not cooking very much.

So, remember the brunch situation for which I baked 9,000 gooey cinnamon rolls? I figured that wasn’t going to be enough for the four of us. Especially since two are burly men. They need protein! Anyway, I attempted to make some pigs-in-a-blanket… and most of the blankets rejected the pigs. It was really quite pitiful. […]
