Foodie Crush Salmon Eggs Benedict

While writing this I can overhear my husband singing along to Pete Townsend.

It’s not the expected rendition of one of the The Who‘s famously loud and uproarious songs. No, its a much sweeter and tender tune sung to a simple ukelele with a message that resonates deeply with me this Mother’s Day.

“I like every minute of the day!
I like every second, so long as you are on my mind,
Every moment has its special charm,
It’s all right when you’re around, rain or shine.”
—Blue, Red and Grey, The Who

It’s too easy these days between work commitments, running kids to and fro—not to mention our daily obsession with Instagram and Pinterest—to forget what is most important in our ever-expanding to-do-list-filled days.

To take a breath. To sit back and to look around and take advantage of the moments we have together as a women, moms and daughters.

Whether it’s an impromptu pinecone dodgeball fight in the park with my darling and quickly maturing daughter or a telephone conversation with my most supportive cheerleading mom, it’s just like Pete says, it’s all right when they’re around.

And that’s why I’m thrilled that I’ll again be spending this Mother’s Day with both of my girls. Yes, it is just a day like any other calendar day, but it’s also a reminder to take advantage of time spent  with one another. To respect the teachings of the mom who’s lived a life of learning and to share her life lessons with my absorbent little sponge of a Smudge.

We’ve made this recipe a couple of times for my parents. Although my dad was a wee bit skeptical the first time out of the gate, he’s definitely been won over.

Whenever I think of this benedict I think of my husband poaching the eggs in their kitchen while the rest of us sit in their lush backyard at the table set with woven placemats they’ve had for years, my mom drinking her coffee and instructing my dad to put on sunscreen and quit cutting back her clematis and me snacking on the avocado that’s meant for the main dish.

This year we’ll be hitting brunch at one of my favorite ski resorts but luckily I got to enjoy the bene-love early thanks to this post.

If you’re looking for an easy gift to accompany your mama’s (or yours) Kindle or Kindle Fire, add Cookie Cravings Cookbook (my first e-cookbook cooking adventure featuring Maria of Two Peas and Their Pod‘s favorite cookie recipes) to your online library or purchase an iPad or desktop friendly version here.

And remember, submissions for the next issue of Foodie Crush magazine are under way. Send me your recipe and material soon, deadline for entries is June 1.

Wishing all of you moms a Happy Mother’s Day filled with love and laughter and as my mom says, “Love you madly.”

  • In a saucepan or skillet with high edges bring water to almost boiling so white bubbles form on bottom of pan. Add 1 teaspoon white vinegar. Crack eggs into water keeping whites close to egg yolks. Gently spoon water over yolks and cook for 3-5 minutes or until whites are firm. Remove eggs from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Trim ragged edges with kitchen shears.
