The Perfect Boiled Egg

March 26, 2012 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 8 Comments

We love eggs at our house and it them in a variety of ways.  Lately I have been keeping a bag of these perfect boiled eggs in the fridge to be enjoyed as a quick breakfast (we like it mashed with a fork with salt, pepper and butter and warmed in the microwave), on a salad or a simple snack. For some reason making good hard boiled eggs was a mystery for me!    I know that it doesn't seem like there

Shrimp and Grits

Have you ever had Shrimp and Grits? I never had.  In fact, growing up out West, I didn't really even know what grits were.  I am sure you can get them there, but I had never noticed them in the grocery store or on a menu.  When I moved to the Tennessee I noticed them EVERYWHERE.  Here in the South, people love grits and you will find

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
