scrambled egg toast
Let me get this out of the way from the get-go: I cannot believe I’m discussing scrambled eggs today. I like to think of myself as somewhat particular in vetting out what I think is worthy or not worthy of your humble click over here, and I can’t say that scrambled eggs would normally make the cut. In fact, if you are happy with your scrambles, if you’re pretty sure you’ve got that whole moving the egg around the pan thing down pat, I won’t even be offended if you come back next time, when I figure out what to do with the four pounds of strawberries in my fridge. Or last time, when we made rhubarb tarts . But this is for the rest of us, myself even, who do not let anyone else, not restaurant, not short-order griddle guy at the bodega, nobody, make our scrambled eggs. Because they are, almost without fail, terrible: dry, stiff and overcooked with a telltale brown spot where they stuck to the pan, forgotten.Vegetarian Lentil Burgers Recipe
For those of you who are fans of the chickpea-based veggie burger I did in Super Natural Cooking , you might want to try this vegetarian lentil burger recipe - it's a twist on the one from my book. This version is a tasty, hearty lentil "burger" slathered with saffron yogurt and stuffed with avocado, lettuce, and onions.

I've always felt that when you put a veggie burger patty on a bun you end up with a burger experience that is too dry and bready. It finally dawned on me to turn the patty into the bun by splitting it in half and then stuffing that with all sorts of deliciousness - avocados, greens, tomatoes, onions, spreads, whatever. This lentil burger uses the same approach.STRAWBERRY SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS, AVOCADO AND ALMONDS

Strawberry Mascarpone Cream Cake (or Ice Cream Cake) | She Simmers - Thai Food Et Cetera
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve rarely made dishes that require multiple steps. The main reason is simply that I hate washing dishes. For this cake, however, I’d wash all the dishes and scrub the kitchen floor, because it’s worth it. A simple sponge cake is prepared in advance, split in half, then gets reassembled with a mixture of mascapone cheese and cream. Fresh strawberries are used here, because they’re in season, but you can use any fresh firm-flesh fruit (say that five times fast). The cream filling is soft, fluffy, and delicate.How To Make Perfect Brownies | How To Cook Like Your Grandmother

Nutella Mug Cake | Family Kitchen
I have been experimenting with different mug cakes every since I heard about them about a year ago. None of them have been winners. They were either too chewy, too dry, or not sweet enough.Little bit of a mouthful there. But it’s like a cookie on top of another cookie! Yeah.
