Best Breakfast Sammies
These are seriously my absolute favorite Breakfast Sammies. The recipe is not my own for the sausage patties, and I’ve included a link to the cookbook they are in, in case you are interested. The boys and I love breakfast sandwiches! Who doesn’t really! Toasted buns, melty cheese, avocado slices, runny yolk eggs, and these homemade sausage patties. Served up with some hot sauce it is a breakfast that dreams are made of. A great weekend breakfast when you aren’t in a rush to get out the door, which I suppose most of us aren’t lately. I call this the Best Breakfast Sammies- because this is my absolute favorite! Better…

Spring Greens Crustless Quiche with Chimichurri
Call it breakfast, brunch, or supper, this Spring Greens Crustless Quiche with Chimichurri is a great way to highlight spring veggies. A beautiful egg and cream custard adorn asparagus, leeks, peas, and of course, I added some bacon in there for good measure. Dot with cheese and bake until just set. Serve this up with a drizzle of Chimichurri sauce and avocado. Quiche is a great make-ahead as it is also great served at room temperature. I only had 4 eggs left this morning and a bunch of beautiful green veggies to use up, so this is where the inspiration for this recipe came from this morning. Quiche is Versatile…

Softly Scrambled Eggs with Feta and Parsley
OK, I know – scrambled eggs – really? Do you even need a recipe for that? Trust me – you need to try these Softly Scrambled Eggs with Feta and Parsley I used to dislike scrambled eggs, I found them kind of dry and tasteless. I would’ve much preferred a nice runny yolk instead of an overcooked scrambled mess until I made this recipe. I saw this recipe in a cookbook that I found at the thrift store (yes I love to a thrift shop – especially for cookbooks). The book is called Turkish Flavours, by Sevtap Yuce. It is a wonderful unpretentious book filled with simple and flavorful recipes. Turkish…

Potato Feta Bacon and Scallion Frittata
If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a Mother of three boys – the best way to lure sleepy kids/teenagers out of bed – BACON! Yep – that’s it! Once they smell bacon cooking in the kitchen – they seem to come running! Just a little trick I’ve got up my sleeves! This was the case today when I started to whip up this Frittata..as soon as the bacon hit the pan I had three boys up in my kitchen wondering what was cooking! I have 2 full bookshelves of cookbooks that I’ve been collecting over the years…and I actually de-cluttered and gave away a bunch last month because simply…

Pasta Carbonara
Carbonara has to be one of my favorite pasta dishes of all time. Not only is it delicious, it’s also super quick to make with minimal ingredients that you may just have laying around already. When you feel like something indulgent, this is it! My boys actually used to fight for seconds when I made this. So if you have growing teenagers, you may want to double this recipe…otherwise, this should serve about 4 people (or 1 teenage boy). In my opinion, there are a few key ingredients to making a good carbonara. The first being good pasta (my favorite brands for this are Barilla or De Cecco). You also…

Mexican Baked Eggs
We leave for Hawaii in two weeks! Hooray! Since we’ll be sporting swimsuits for a good portion of our stay my husband has been trying to watch his carb and sugar intake this month. I’ve been trying to help him out by making meals minus carbs – which as it turns out although challenging – can be very delicious. Last night we had some fish tacos with Mahi Mahi and rather that tortilla wraps we wrapped ours in lettuce leaves – which proved to be delish. On the weekend I made Alex this for breakfast and decided to re-create this morning for myself. Give them a shot! This is kind…
