More eggs! At least I am down to just a few dozen, but this used up 5, so I decided to make pound cake. Super simple and ended up being my breakfast, but also great for a snack or afternoon tea.

Browned Butter Cran-Strawberry Crumble Bars with Toasted Pistachios
Between eggs and strawberries, I seem to be drowning in ingredients these days, so I decided to make more jam (subsequent post coming up) and then with “extra” jam (I ran out of jars), I decided to make these crumble bars. They are definitely my go to recipe. This time, I browned the butter first (definitely a great idea) and then added pistachios as well. Perfect for a 4th of July picnic!
I have far too many eggs in the house. Don’t ask, it’s a long story, but there are dozens of eggs taking up room in my fridge. Conveniently, there were also some peppers, some leftover cheddar cheese and, in the freezer, some hot Italian sausage. So I put together this concoction last night and baked it up as breakfast today. Feeds a crowd. Also, you can use a biscuit cutter, cut rounds and toast yourself an English Muffin, and you can make a kick-ass breakfast sandwich.
So every year, as always, I go Pick-Your-Own Strawberry Picking at Russell Orchards in Ipswich. It’s well documented here on this site, so I won’t go info all the details of the Strawberry Festival and all that. This of course means that I am working on this year’s strawberry treats. First up, this year’s variation on the strawbeey jam… this time with hibiscus which gives the jam a great floral punch. Yum yum!
Rainy and kind of miserable start to the work week, rainy and yucky end to the week. But there is bread… pretty. hearty, rustic Raisin Pecan Bread with the touch of Cinnamon. Bread makes everything better. It’s another one of my “no knead, make in a cast iron pot” experiments and definitely a winner.
