This unique omelette recipe from Plenty uses piles of shredded swiss chard, a handful of herbs, garlic, and lemon juice to put a very savory spin on the traditional omelette. Finely chopped potato is cooked with saffron, and then swiss chard is added, just long enough to soften. The herbs are beat with egg, and [...]

Brunch-Run to Ants Pants
A few West Philly friends and I have come up with a new way to get that oft-forgotten weekend run. We pick a location, run there, eat, and then walk or take public transportation home. It’s a great “club” because we have an excuse to eat brunch, can eat as much as we want without [...]

Fresh Fig Tart with Sage and Gorgonzola
The Co-Op sent out a message this week about a stock of fresh figs from South Philadelphia. Many Philadelphians have fig trees, and I’m so jealous of them! I ran out and bout all of the figs, with which I made some delicious brandy fig preserves for my morning yogurt and the above tart for [...]

Baked Eggs with Yogurt and Chili
This weekend we had a hurricane move up through the East Coast, and I spent most of the weekend holed up in my house, watching bad movies, checking the weather report, baking 10 dozen cookies, and eating. Luckily, we never lost power and I was still able to use my kitchen! The above dish makes [...]

Shirred Tofu at Local 44
Local 44 has a great beer selection, but in the past, I found their menu a lacking – a little too bar munchie. While they still sway towards comfort food, they’ve really upped their meal game, and like the other restaurants owned by this duo (Resurrection Ale House, Memphis Taproom) there are plenty of vegetarian [...]

Sweet Potato Spoon Bread
Sorry loves. It been a long long holiday season, with a lot of travel and spotty internet service, but I plan to make it up to you with some tasty comfort food and a heap of foreign foods. As I mentioned before the holiday, I’ve been slowly working through the easy, healthy and so far, [...]

HUGE southern brunch at Honey’s Sit-and-Eat
I love brunch, and by the time I sit down to eat, my eyes are often bigger than my stomach. I tend towards the spicy-Mexican-eggs-style brunch, but on this particular morning, scoring a seat at the bar at Honey’s with minimal wait, I thought I’d try something different. I don’t think that I’ve ever had [...]

Brunch in the House
While I LOVE to go out to brunch, it can be a big hassle, cost a lot of money, and feel frustrating. Sometimes you’d rather just sit on your couch and watch the Sunday morning news shows (or is that just me?) Either way, sometimes I surprise myself with the ability to quickly whip-up a [...]

Riblet Sandwich at A Full Plate Cafe
Every great once-and-awhile I don’t want eggs for brunch. I know, shocking! But when that time comes, I usually want a hearty, savory sandwich and a side of fried potatoes. A few weekends ago I hopped the El to A Full Plate Cafe in Northern Liberties to drop off some of Mama Gautsche’s Zucchini Cookies [...]

Brunch at Honey’s Sit & Eat
It’s not easy to get into Honey’s – the line usually stretches out the door, and it’s hard to beat the rush. But if you can get in before your stomach forces you to go somewhere else, it’s worth it. Jewish-comfort-diner food i a cute setting with fresh squeezed orange juice and homemade pies. Though [...]
