Egg & cheese sandwich on everything bagel; coffee
I’ve been craving what Food 52 refers to as “Bodega Eggs,” and what Smitten Kitchen has simply dubbed a “Lazy Egg Sandwich” – despite never actually having been to a bodega (oh, suburban life). This was super simple to throw together, delicious, and less messy than just piling scrambled eggs and cheese on a bagel.

Pear
My sweet dad sent me a big package of stuff from Harry & David for Easter, including these Royal Riviera pears. They’re SO good.

Bloody Mary
I had intended to make a bloody mary around brunch time, but of course got distracted and missed the brunch mark by a few hours. I’ve been on a real bloody kick lately – Zing Zang is my favorite mix, and I add extra celery salt and hot sauce. Yum! I may or may not have had 2 of these (I totally did).

Eggplant rollatini; lentil pasta with Rao’s Arrabbita
I received another eggplant in my last Hungry Harvest shipment, so I decided to make eggplant rollatini this time. It was way easier than I predicted to put together, and very tasty – recipe to follow! Be prepared for a week of ugly lunches (ha!). I also had a couple glasses of white wine and forgot to document – the combo of taking a week off and my bloody buzz didn’t bode well for blog photos.
