Asparagus with Poached Egg, Tarragon and Chives

This dish is AMAZING and super easy to make. It seriously tastes like candy.

Serves 4

1 bunch tarragon 1 bunch chives Juice of 1 lemon Extra virgin olive oil About 24 asparagus spears, blanched 4 eggs, poached

Whizz the tarragon, chives, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Add enough olive oil to achieve the consistency you like. Set aside while preparing the asparagus and eggs.

Divide the asparagus spears between four plates. Spoon the dressing over the spears and then top with the poached eggs.

Garnish with Parmesan cheese, chopped herbs, or freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

Spring is in the air

Ahhhhhh. Finally I can feel the warmth and feel my toes and fingers. I've actually worn just a T-shirt out side off and on the past couple weeks. These pictures are from Easter (a little behind). We've both been super busy with work and taking care of this little muffin.

Also, I have a new obsession lately for eating healthier. I've read Michael Pollan and Watched Jamie Oliver and have totally jumped on the eating fresh from scratch band wagon. Some people may call it "trendy" but I just call it common sense. Common sense that I never understood until I read the facts.

So, I'll be sharing some of my favorite recipes on the blog. Just so you know, I'm not a cook...AT ALL. All of the recipes are super easy....really, anyone could do it. I bought a bread machine and have been making all of our bread so I'll also post some great bread machine recipes.

Happy Spring!

It comes in handy having a photographer husband. Poppy worked it in front of the camera.

Happiness

This is what makes Poppy happy these days. Our junk. Our random junk. No need to buy any new toys...pointless. She's also really into sitting in our window seal and checking things out. You know, making sure people are following the rules. She's jabbering like crazy. Kind of sounds like alien talk mixed with giggles. She's awesome.

Soffe Road Trip

This past weekend we ventured out on a road trip with the Soffe's. A much needed road trip. We first arrived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where we took a tour and learned about the Amish. Next we drove to Intercourse, Pennsylvania and you can only imagine the conversation that was happening. I just feel better now that I can say I've been to Intercourse. Ha, dumb. That night we slept at Laurens parents house in Baltimore. Tour of Gettysburg the next day, slept in Washington D.C. that night. Tour of D.C. the next day and back to Baltimore for baby Mack's baby blessing. I was shocked at how well Poppy did in her car seat. Living in NY we don't even own a car seat so I was a little worried but she champed it out. I think she was stoked to finally have some alone time. Just kept herself busy by playing peek a boo all by herself, sucked her thumb, played with her toes, looked at her books, and talked to herself. Highlights of the trip: Intercourse...Penn, Taco Bell, baby Mack, Poppy climbing stairs, Poppy becoming slap happy from missing a nap, smell of a rental car, having family around.

Poppy going bonkers with excitement sitting in the front seat of our car.

My awesome teen outfit that I put together on the streets of D.C. It was a little chilly, so I broke down and bought a tourist sweater and...it was glorious.
