Originally posted June 6, 2017 Eric and I have the perfect excuse to not do dishes tonight. The dishwasher is full of clean dishes, our cupboards are empty, and all the other dishes are scattered about the dining room in boxes, laundry baskets, and strewn across the table. There’s no where to put them. Great excuse right??
Perfect week for my baby to decide that is is time to start crawling. NOTHING exciting to get into over here, baby, I promise.
The painters are coming to sand the cupboards tomorrow. (Follow along on Instagram stories if you want!) We are painting our bottom cupboards gray and the top cabinets white. Here’s a before:
This is from last year right before we did the wood floor. (What delusional person decides to put white carpet in a dining room anyway?? With 3 kids it had to go.) I’ll show pictures when it’s all done! I’m pretty excited. (To get my kitchen back especially!)
How to make Hollandaise Sauce
Do you love hollandaise sauce as much as I do? It is one of those simple sauces that I just cant get enough of. It is not hard to make, but there are a few rules. Do NOT microwave any leftover sauce. The eggs are uncooked (oh my!), meaning if you put the sauce in the microwave it will seize up and curdle and you will have sad chunks of scrambled egg in your sauce. No bueno.
Solution? Same way you heat up breastmilk. (TMI?! This was the easiest way to explain it to my husband the other day, I thought some other parents out there might relate!) Instead of microwaving, you have to hold the container of sauce (a jar, bowl, or I like to use a glass measuring cup) under running hot water, or set it in a bowl of very hot water. If you want it to get REALLY nice and hot, then set a pot of water on the stove and rest the bowl of sauce in boiling water until hot, stirring so it stays nice and smooth.
Easy Hollandaise Sauce Recipe (in the blender!)
This is starting to sound complicated, but it’s not hard. And really the only fussy part about the recipe is for reheating. When you make it the first time, it will be hot from the melted butter, and ready to pour on your breakfast right away. And it’s so quick because you use the blender! You need a few egg yolks to make hollandaise sauce. (It’s what makes it so rich and custardy! Just like this Crème Brûlée Cheesecake is rich and custardy « this cheesecake calls for TEN egg yolks.)
