4 delicious egg recipes to make this weekend {recipe}

March 29, 2013 2 Comments

The awesome folks at Oxo recently sent me a sweet set of kitchen egg tools. The trio includes a 3-in-1 egg separator, hand-cranked egg beater, and a flip & fold omelet turner! Since I make eggs for breakfast e v e r y d a y , I’ve put these tools through the ringer. Now, I try not to play favorites, but when it comes to these gadgets I’ve got two. Favorite #1: the egg separator. This little guy hooks onto the side of your bowl, which is simultaneously simple and amazing. Buh-bye hands covered in gross egg whites! Favorite #2: the egg beaters! They’re super handy when making a big frittata or egg casserole, plus with the push of a button your can remove the (dishwasher safe!) beaters.

I’ve had a set of these Oxo egg beaters since I found them in my Food Blog Forum swag bag last year, so….

I’m giving away one set of Oxo Egg Beaters!

Check out the rafflecopter at the bottom of the post to enter the giveaway. And in the mean time, here are four delicious egg recipes to try this weekend!

Crustless Quiche (with Yogurt!)

What I ate

Pork skewers, Phillies, and a bunch of crappy meals {the week in food}

February 4, 2013 8 Comments

Upon review of my food photos from the past week, I was struck by just how much meh there was! I went out to eat more than usual, and you’d think the increase would have upped my odds of getting some great meals. So, apparently the odds were not on my side, BUT I did hit the recipe jackpot with these Asian-inspired pork tenderloin skewers!

Stay tuned for the recipe post coming later this week–I can’t wait to share it with you guys!

The skewers almost made up for the barrage of blah I endured. It started with dinner with my pal Vanessa at Levant, a Mediterranean restaurant uptown. The 7pm reservation I made was almost laughable given we were the sole patrons in the restaurant for the duration of our meal. Is this ever a good sign? Levant is owned by the same folks who own Kabob Grill (one of my favorite lunch spots in town). The menu is nearly identical, but the food that we were served was no comparison to Kabob. I’m still confused on this… I’ll have to swing by Kabob soon to fill my kafta cravings!

5 Easy Brunch Recipes that use Yogurt

March 25, 2012 5 Comments

Breakfast is arguably my favorite meal of the day, and lunch, well, I love that too. Brunch, though? I just don’t get it. Seriously, I need to know–is it breakfast or is it lunch? Do you eat eggs Benedict or do you eat egg salad? Pancakes or paninis? Brunch is a big fat grey area, and I don’t like it one bit. I’m just one of those people. In fact, I’m morally opposed to breakfast for dinner.

Don’t stone me.

Despite my aversion, this weekend I stepped out of my comfort zone and invited some friends over for a yogurt-inspired brunch.

Take a look at the spread!

When preparing the brunch menu, my goal was to cook up a variety of tasty nibblets that incorporated Activia yogurt (since I had some Foodbuzz freebies to use). Heavy emphasis on tasty, of course.

The mainstay of our meal was my Western Sausage Crustless Quiche:

Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Braid

Morning, friends! I hope you all are lucky enough to have the day off of work like me. If not, well then I’ll try not to rub it in too much. I’ve spent a good portion of the new years weekend in the kitchen cooking up a fury. Ancho chicken tacos, sausage lasagna, and balsamic glazed pork loins, just to name a few. This Monday morning (did I mention I have the day off of work???) I wanted to make something special. So I threw together a delicious sausage and egg breakfast braid.

Isn’t it impressive looking?
