Eggnog Bread Breakfast Sandwich

December 14, 2018 Amanda Plott

This past week, I got my hands on some delicious ‘tipsy’ cranberry jam that is made here locally. And since I already had some egg nog bread sitting on my counter ready to go, I thought I should find some clever way to put the two together!

While this sandwich isn’t exactly conventional, it takes a page out of that ‘mcgriddle’ play book. Putting the two powerhouses of sweet and savory into each and every bite. The sweet being the egg nog bread and the jam and the savory being the bacon and the egg with cheese…

Savory Holiday Monkey Bread

December 10, 2018 Amanda Plott

I love monkey bread. I love that it’s a quick, easy, and delicious way to pack a lot more flavor into any traditional biscuit dough. Usually monkey bread is sweet and is made as more of a breakfast or even as a dessert. Such as my cherry pie version, or my pumpkin spice one! But, not much can beat the strawberries and cream monkey bread.

Today though, I was craving tomato soup and some crunchy bread. It’s chilly out and that traditional meal sounded very comforting. But then! I thought better of myself. Why make a boring plain old grilled cheese when I could make something drinkable, dipable, and fun instead?!…

I’ve been in Egg Bite mode for a while now. Can you tell?

Breakfast is honestly my favorite meal of the day, and it probably always has been. That’s because it’s really the only meal of the day that you can experiment with eating sweet or savory. And just like with eating sweet and savory, I also like to experiment with eating less meat and more vegetarian options!

It’s not secret that we eat at least half of our meals in my house as vegetarian. YES, that includes all meals too. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner alike. I know that Vegetarian Chorizo Egg Bites might sound like an oxymoron here, but I promise you these egg bites are delicious and full of chorizo flavor…

Pesto & Sun-Dried Tomato Crustless Quiche

When in doubt… make a quiche!

This morning I woke up to a rather quiet house after FINALLY managing to get a decent bit of sleep last night. The excitement around the holidays, along with all the coming and going from my house, usually means several restless nights for me. Now with Turkey Day out of the way, I’m ready to get back into a routine for a few weeks.

My fridge once again has space in it and leftovers have all cleared out but now. With a few extra hungry mouths this morning, I started to panic as I rummaged through the pantry, fridge, and freezer for something breakfasty. FAIL. All I had was pieces and parts. Leftover pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, eggs, bacon, cheese… hah! These are the makings for a great quiche!…

Denver Omelette Egg Bites

November 23, 2018 Amanda Plott

It’s been a good long time since I posted an ‘egg bite’ recipe, so I figured it was about due again by now. If you don’t know what egg bites at this point, you definitely should. Egg bites were made rather famous by the coffee giant Starbucks. I’ve made a few different recipe variations.

They’re one of my most favorite breakfast (or brunch) options. Easy to make, delicious, and completely versatile! Today though, I had Denver omelettes on my mind. What’s in a Denver omelette though? Onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and ham…

Club Wrap

November 17, 2018 Amanda Plott

I’m busy. You’re busy. We’re all busy right now! The Holidays are hot on our heels and it’s a mad dash to the finish line by now. With being a bit under the weather for this past week, I’ve been doing my very best (yet still failing more than once) to feed the house. With that being said, I got wise halfway through the week and started to meal-prep most of the meals.

This Club Wrap is one of my current favorite lunches. It’s a quick bite that’s light, full of flavor, and perfect for grab-in-go situations. In all honesty, I based this wrap off of one that my mom and I shared a few weeks ago after a long and exhausting trip to the grocery store…
