Easy Crustless Quiche

Easy Crustless Quiche

I’ve said this before, but sometimes the simplest recipes turn out to be not only the easiest, but the tastiest.  Last week one of the ladies in my bible study group brought breakfast for the rest of us.  She had thrown together a few ingredients and came up with a delicious, crust-less quiche.  Everyone was…

Avocado Breakfast Tostada

Disclosure: I was compensated by the California Avocado Commission for the development of this recipe and this post. As always, all opinions are my own. Last week a package arrived at my doorstep. A lovely box that I hadn’t seen for about six months. When I came home and saw it sitting on the porch…

Lemon Cream Pie Smoothie

Lemon Cream Pie Smoothie

Most of my favorite smoothies have a common thread — chocolate, chocolate mint, mocha, chocolate banana … you get the drift. So I’m always looking for a way to switch things up. I was staring at a bowl of lemons on the kitchen table and got inspired to make a creamy, lemon cream pie smoothie,…

Melted Oatmeal Cookie Breakfast Bowl

Melted Oatmeal Cookie Breakfast Bowl

Listen, I know plain, unflavored and unsweetened oatmeal is the way to go, and nine times out of 10 that’s what I make. But this morning I discovered a packet of brown sugar-cinnamon instant steel-cut oats in the back of the pantry (Quaker makes it). Knowing that a bowl of sweet oatmeal is basically a…

Oatmeal Snickerdoodle Smoothie

Oatmeal Snickerdoodle Smoothie

I discovered the wonder that is the snickerdoodle at a relatively late age. I had heard the name but thought maybe it had something to do with the candy bar. But no — the snickerdoodle is a much more subtle delight — a soft sugar cookie dusted liberally with cinnamon. How to turn the snickerdoodle…

Southwestern Breakfast Scramble

Southwestern Breakfast Scramble

I’ve got nothing against egg yolks. They’re actually my favorite part of the egg. But sometimes I’d rather spend my fat calories on something else, like avocado or sausage. So while I always have a dozen eggs in the fridge, I usually have a carton of egg whites in there, too, for times, when I…

Cornmeal Crusted Avocado with Eggs, Tomato & Crispy Bacon

Cornmeal Crusted Avocado with Eggs, Tomato & Crispy Bacon

Over the last few months I’ve been making a huge effort to eat a healthy, well balanced breakfast. One that includes lots of protein, healthy fat and carbohydrates in the form of vegetables. My go to has been eggs, bacon and sliced tomatoes. Delicious, but after a while? Boring. Plus, I needed some healthy fat…

Green Vegetable Frittata

Green Vegetable Frittata

Spring arrives very soon, and I am thrilled that my local farmer’s market is beginning to fill up with delicious green vegetables.  My recent shopping trip scored some amazingly fresh asparagus, pak choy, leeks, scallions and dinosaur kale.  I needed a recipe that I could incorporate all these beauties, so I started thinking about making…
