How to Hard-Boil the “Perfect” Eggs

How to Hard-Boil Eggs I get asked all the time for a fool-proof method for the perfect hard-boiled eggs — easy to peel with a perfect yellow yolk. The trick isn’t so much the method. That’s easy. It’s REMEMBERING the method. Do I boil the eggs for one minute or two? Do I cover the eggs? If so, when? I can never…

How to Make Magical Popover Rolls

Growing up bread fell into four categories: store bought white loaves school cafeteria yeast rolls monkey bread popover rolls I’m sure there were exceptions, but these were the four essential bread groups of my youth.

I’m always exhausted, but this simple breakfast dish has become a tradition I wouldn’t miss for the world. Bubble Bread only takes a few minutes to prepare, then you leave it…

Homemade Peppermint Ice Cream and Oreo Cake

I’ve never had a Christmas without this dessert.  If you’ve been around the cafe for a while, you can figure out that is a lot of Oreo Peppermint Ice Cream Cakes.  Who knows how long my grandmother (Popa’s mother) made this treat before I joined the scene?!? All I know is it wouldn’t be Christmas without this sweet tradition. Mia…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!

Have you ever had pashka? A sweet friend from chur Have you ever had pashka?

She said she hasn’t hosted a gathering in so long she decided to pull out all her heart molds and make a favorite dessert to surprise her friends.

I’m more realistic, reserved and battle weary thirty years later. But, I still believe in a place called hope.
