I am obsessed with this recipe. It is amazing and your whole house will smell fabulous while cooking. This is also one of my favorite recipes not because it is so delicious but because it takes 5 minutes to put together and is ready in only 1-2 hours. This is perfect before work or school on chilly mornings and perfect for guests!! And keeps well for up to a week, so you can have it on hand for many mornings. Bon Appetit!!!

This week I went to the beautiful Restoration Hardware Rooftop Restaurant for brunch. It had been on my list FOREVER. I tried the Scrambled Eggs with Creme Fraiche, chives, and avocado and I have to say, it was perfection. I had to find the recipe to share with you. It is such a special treat and you really need to serve it with some thick crunchy bread. The perfect dish to try for the upcoming weekend!!! Sooo delicious! Bon Appetit!!!

• 3 Eggs
• Bunch of green onions
• 2 tbsp Creme Fraiche
• 1 Ripe Avocado
• 1 tsp Sea Salt
• 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
• 2 Slices of Bread (make sure it is crunchy and nice and thick)

1. In a bowl, add three eggs, the creme fraiche, a little salt, and pepper, and then whisk with a fork until fully combined. Chop the green onions and add. I like to whisk the egg mixture with a hand blender.
2. Peel the avocado, and then dice it into cubes. Put into a bowl, and add a teaspoon of sea salt and a teaspoon of black pepper, and then mash with a fork until it’s a bit smoother
3. Add a tablespoon of butter to a frying pan over medium heat. When the butter starts to foam, add in the eggs and turn up the heat to medium-high.
4. Stir the eggs using a spatula and continuously stir the eggs until they start to cook.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and keep stirring the eggs with the spatula. Toast your bread and serve.

It’s so funny, I always receive requests for recipes for steak dinners. I guess there really is nothing like a good juicy steak from time to time. I received this Garlic Steak Foil Dinner recipe in my inbox and thought it was the perfect post for this week. There are many benefits to wrapping the steak and potatoes in tin foil (this is usually called campfire style!). The foil really seals in the moisture and the result is fluffy potatoes and an extra juicy steak. Give it a try!!! Bon Appetit!

I love all the Super Bowl food that I see everyone posting on Social Media but we thought this year we would serve one of my husband’s favorite dishes, Carbonara pasta. It’s so easy to make and very filling on its own so you do not need much else. Plus let keeps you away from all the chicken wings and chips!!!! Bon Appetit!!!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 
• 1/2 pound pancetta  diced
• 1-2 garlic cloves, minced, about 1 teaspoon
• 3-4 whole eggs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese
• 1 pound spaghetti (or bucatini or fettuccine)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

1. Fill a large pot of salted water put it on to boil
2. While the water is coming to a boil, heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook slowly until crispy.Add the garlic and cook another minute, then turn off the heat and put the pancetta and garlic into a large bowl.
3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and mix in about half of the cheese.
4. Once the water has reached a rolling boil, add the dry pasta, and cook, uncovered, at a rolling boil.
5. When the pasta is al dente (still a little firm, not mushy), use tongs to move it to the bowl with the bacon and garlic. Let it be dripping wet. Reserve some of the pasta water. Move the pasta from the pot to the bowl quickly, as you want the pasta to be hot. It’s the heat of the pasta that will heat the eggs sufficiently to create a creamy sauce.Toss everything to combine, allowing the pasta to cool just enough so that it doesn’t make the eggs curdle when you mix them in.

6. Add the beaten egg mixture: Add the beaten eggs with cheese and toss quickly to combine once more. Add salt to taste. Add some pasta water back to the pasta to keep it from drying out.

Serve at once with the rest of the parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
