Make-Ahead Egg Sandwiches
A square egg sandwich? I love this shapely twist on an egg sandwich as well as the timesaving step of making several eggs a once. Simply combine eggs, water, and a dash of salt then bake in a square baking dish to produce four squares of soft, custard-like eggs. These squares are excellent for breakfast…
Happy Easter! 30 Seconds to peel a dozen hard-boiled eggs
Every Easter, I have to repost this incredible method of cooking hard boiled eggs. The shells will fall right off. It’s truly a miracle. Thank you to Cook’s Illustrated for discovering this time saver.
90 Second Dinner for Breakfast Bowl
Dinner for breakfast. I like the concept suggested by this month’s Recipe Redux team. Many of us get in the rut of choosing traditional breakfast foods (cereal, muffins, pancakes, bagels and waffles) that start our day with a large dose of refined carbohydrate and added sugar. A savory breakfast is a low sugar, high protein,…
Refresh and Repurpose…Three Ways to Use Leftovers and Reduce Food Waste
In honor of Earth Day, and as a member of the Recipe ReDux team, I was challenged to show how I reduce food waste. That’s easy because I love leftovers and I rarely throw anything away. Leftovers extend the efforts of my cooking and they cut down on food waste. Most weeks, I’m cooking three or…
Fresh Herb and Veggie Frittata
Eggs and herbs, could there be a better pairing? At the end of the week when I’m not sure what to cook, I’ll gather some eggs (I literally “gather” eggs because we have 3 chickens living in our backyard), odds and ends of vegetables in the fridge, fresh herbs from the garden (thanks to my…
Shakshuka (worth making just to say the name)
Here’s a fantastic recipe from Melissa Clark. Shakshuka originated in North Africa and is a dish in which eggs are baked in a spicy tomato sauce (similar to Mexican huevos rancheros). It’s a simple meal to prepare, even during a busy work week, and makes an excellent breakfast the next day. Start by sautéing onions and red…
Pesto Egg and Veggie Pockets
Using some end of the week vegetables; an onion, a yellow pepper and some mushrooms, leftover whole wheat pita pockets from the chicken souvlaki recipe and eggs, I put together an easy, portable breakfast pocket. First, saute the veggies in a little olive oil. In a separate pan, scramble the eggs (low heat and slow…
Easy Egg Salad
If you’ve made hard-boiled eggs over the weekend, why not use a few to whip together a delicious egg salad. I love egg salad but it often has a heavy mayonnaise base. To lighten it up, I use half mayo and half plain, fat-free Greek yogurt. Chop 4 hard-boiled eggs. Add 1 tablespoon of…
Guacamole Egg Salad on Toast
Here’s a fast, workday, protein-rich breakfast using hard-boiled eggs I made over the weekend. It’s also a great idea to spend a few minutes on the weekend prepping some veggies so you can use them all week. This breakfast took me about 3 minutes to assemble. I toasted whole grain bread (I like Ezekial). While…
Lunch Bowl on a Plate
Here’s a creative lunch idea (or breakfast or dinner) from my son’s blog https://www.instagram.com/foodishowmymom/. It’s hearty but healthy with backyard chicken eggs (go ahead and eat the yolks, they’re heart friendly), roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, red onion, brown rice and a sprinkle of feta cheese. Nutrition Note: Check out the vegetable color palate on this…
Take-in Thursday
Takeout was calling. It’s the end of the week and I had a long day at work (sound familiar). I held off and decided to tackle whatever was left in the refrigerator. Found some eggs, scallions I forgot to use, fresh herbs and arugula (now I have to admit, the supply line for these is…
