Eggs in Purgatory: The Dish My Wife Warned Me About by Ang Pompano — Plus a givaway! Ang Pompano: Eggs in Purgatory, uova in purgatorio, belongs to the great Italian tradition of cucina povera. The phrase translates to “poor kitchen,” but it’s less about scarcity than ingenuity, turning a few simple staples into something that actually satisfies.This is everyday food. The kind you make because you’re hungry and want something good, not because you’re trying to impress anyone.

Ham and Cheese Quiche from Vicki Delany Many Canadian families have a ham for Easter dinner.  We will be in my house this year.  A big ham usually means a meaty bone to make bean soup with after, as well as plenty of leftovers.  This is a nice way to use up some of that delicious cooked ham.  But not too much, you want lots for sandwiches too.I used a pre-made pastry here, but of course you can make your own.

Queso Blanco Easter Egg Appetizer #Easter #recipe from Kim Davis  KIM DAVIS: Easter is a time for families to gather today, and having young children around makes the day even more special.

Noodles with Chicken in Peanut Sauce from Vicki Delany This is a recipe totally made-up by me.  I’ve always enjoyed noodles with peanut sauce and used store bought bottled sauce. Then one day, I started to cook and realized I didn’t have any of the bottles.  So I made my own. I’ve improvised it a bit and now I much prefer this one.  It’s also a lot cheaper than buying a ready-made labelled bottle of peanut sauce and has less

Roasted Apple and Sweet Potato Soup from Vicki Delany  A winter treasure!  I never add cream to a soup because a good soup doesn't need it. Case in point, the original version of this recipe called for 1/2 cup of whipping cream. In my mind that's nothing but totally unnecessary calories. This delicious soup is thick and creamy without adding cream or milk. The sweet taste of roasted apples comes though loud and clear and it’s packed with
