Chive Cheddar Omelet

The classic French omelet method is to add the eggs to a very hot skillet, use a spatula to quickly move them around, and get them off the heat quickly. This way there are no accidental holes in the omelet or uneven sides, it’s foolproof and fancy-feeling and a skill to add to your repertoire…

Bagel Sandwich Board with Tillamook Cream Cheese

I have gotten SO MANY requests for meal ideas for beach/mountain/lake weekends. AKA how to feed a huge crowd with as little effort as possible so that you can spend your time enjoying the day, not cooped up in the kitchen! My family goes to Bald Head Island, North Carolina every summer and for lunch…

Everything but the Bagel Ham, Egg and Cheese

This was a huge hit when I shared it 6 months ago, I knew I needed to immortalize the recipe on my website! This everything but the bagel ham, egg & cheese has only 3 ingredients, no carbs, and is satisfyingly crunchy! It makes such a good breakfast (or lunch or dinner) when you’re craving…

Whole30 Chicken Sausage and Spinach Frittata

I first discovered the joys of blending vegan cream cheese into eggs when I was working on a project for a client who wanted me to recreate those delicious Starbucks egg bites. They blend cottage cheese into their eggs, but I needed a dairy-free alternative, and nut cream cheese did the trick. I like using…

Perfect Slow-Cooked Strata (Egg Casserole)

Haven’t gone to the grocery store? Have a bunch of veggies that will probably spoil in the next couple of days? Have blocks of half eaten cheese left over from the holidays, or from lunch (no judgement here, I love cheese too!). Then this is the meal for you! Strata (egg casserole) is my fave…

Everything Bagel Sausage Egg and Cheese Rolls

This has to be one of my most stupid-simple, ridiculously delicious recipes. I literally had a moment at the grocery store where I as like wait – maybe I could just smoosh the entire sausage roll into one gigantic flat sausage patty to make this ridiculously easy… and yep, it worked. Don’t be afraid to…

Trader Joe’s Tuesday: Brown Butter Cheddar-Scallion Crispy Prosciutto Cornbread

This week’s Trader Joe’s Tuesday is a MOUTHFUL, but what aspect of this DELICIOUS cornbread recipe could I possibly leave out of the title? Brown butter – very important. Cheddar (especially when it’s TJ’s Unexpected Cheddar, which is now available pre-shredded!!!!) – very important. Scallions – yum, so important. And crispy prosciutto? Hello yes, had…

20-Minute Cheddar Chive Drop Biscuits

I love making drop biscuits, the simpler, quicker, more fool-proof version of… regular biscuits. All you need is a bowl, a fork, a baking sheet and 20 minutes to throw these guys together. I packed mine with sharp cheddar and fresh chives, but I’ll list tons of different flavor variations below. Or, omit the cheddar…

One-Skillet Green Basil Shakshuka

I became full-fledged obsessed with all things Ottolenghi and Israeli food in 2014, our first year living in California. I must have cooked shakshuka, a traditional Israeli dish of bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, braised down into a perfect sauce, with eggs poached right into the sauce, 100 times. Truly. At least 100 times. I still…

Berry Bliss Smoothie – from Magic in Our Kitchen

One of my silver linings of this crazy time has been spending a lot more time connecting with people on Instagram. I NEVER THOUGHT THOSE WORDS WOULD LEAVE MY MOUTH, but I really mean it. One of my new internet friends is Sarah McCready, an Australian mother of two with a background in nutrition. She…
