Recipe Friday: THE Best Egg Sandwich

Breakfast for dinner and dessert for breakfast are two things that just feel so decadent to me. I love mixing up my food routine every once and a while, and this is one of my favorite ways to do it.
Last night we tried out this recipe for egg sandwiches that I saw on the blog, A Cup of Jo. This recipe comes from Smitten Kitchen, a blog that I love for it's plethora of mouth watering recipes and photography.

I'll admit that I was rather skeptical at first, because the post claims that these sandwiches are "the best". But it was no lie, in fact it was so true that I ate two of them. For dinner. I highly recommend using American Cheese for this recipe. I know, right? But I found some American slices at my local co-op and just love how the cheese melted with the egg. For a little additional nutrition I served them on multigrain english muffins. We also tore up slices of turkey ham for some protein. Check out the full recipe here and prepare to be amazed, it's so simple and so delicious!

Happy Friday!

My Weekly Internet Collection

A short list of things that I found fascinating this week.

1. This article on The Book Deal about book jacket design.

2. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the illustrated version of Food Rules: An Eaters Manual by Michael Pollen, illustrated by Maria Kalman (my idol). 

3. I am obsessed with listening to podcasts of Design Matters with Debbie Millman. She recently interviewed Jake and Pum Lefebure of Design Army. Have a listen.

4. I absolutely LOVE the cover of this book, and I can't wait to check it out. The book trailer animates some of the lovely illustrations by Carson Ellis (The Mysterious Benedict Society). Apparently the baby brother in the story is abducted by a murder of crows and is taken to the impassable wilderness. Sounds wonderfully creepy and weird.

5. I really want to make these Crispy Squash Rounds via How Sweet It Is, such an interesting idea!

Weekend Reading

With the long weekend in front of me, I am looking forward to making a dent in my massive TBR pile. Here are a few of the selections I will be reading over this final weekend of summer.

1. Just Being Audrey by Margaret Cardillo, illustrated by Julia Denos
I bought this not only because I love Audrey Hepburn, but I adore the work of Julia Denos. I highly recommend her blog, The Cinnamon Rabbit. It's interesting that a children's book was published about Ms. Audrey in 2011, but I guess she is just a timeless lady!

2. Scripts, Elegant Lettering From Design's Golden Age by Steven Heller and Louise Fili
Talk about a power couple! Steven Heller is the author of over 130 design books, the co-chair of the design MFA program at the School of Visual Arts AND a columnist for The New York Times Book Review. His blog, The Daily Heller is full of all kinds of conversations about design.
Louise Fili is known for her beautiful typography, restaurant design and love of Italy. Her work is simply stunning.

3. bon appetit magazine because the recipes always look delish and the photography is fabulous. What's not to love?!

4. Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain
After a fantastic, unforgettable meal at his restaurant while I was in NYC, I had to move this one up on my to-read list.

What will you be reading this weekend? Happy Friday!
