Brunch Series – Frittata

No Comments

Hey Guys! For my second post in my brunch series, I decided to share an idea that is a load more healthy than my Baked Savory Brie recipe. That is so so so delicious though, so if you want a decadent savory treat, that’s the recipe for you! A frittata is a lot like a baked omelette, but even easier to make and without the need to flip it. My mum regularly makes frittatas to cut up and freeze in individual portions for whoever might need a quick breakfast, lunch or snack. That’s a great way to use up bits and bobs from your fridge, especially if you have little bits of cheese, pasta, meat or vegetables kicking around that need eaten up. Easy Frittata 6 large eggs, beaten 2 generous handfulls of cheese 2 frozen spinach pellets, defrosted and drained of water For vegetables, you want to chop up…

Freezer Breakfast Bowls

No Comments

I hate the morning. Those that have lived with me, travelled with me, worked with me or even just tried to talk to me in the morning know this fact very well. I’m just not my most friendly in the morning, and my extreme morning productivity is really only born out of the internal rage I feel about needing to be out of bed before I feel ready to be. For this reason, I try to have my breakfasts ready before I go to bed. Sometimes that means having a guacamole pack, bread and a hard-boiled egg or two ready to throw in my bag on my way to the office, and sometimes it means pulling a pre-made meal out of the freezer like my freezer egg wraps! Nothing makes morning rage worse than hanger. These easy italiano breakfast bowls are freezer-friendly and perfect for busy mornings. Italiano Breakfast Bowls…

How to: Freezer Bacon and Cheese Egg Wraps

No Comments

Hey all! This post is about one of my favorite recipes for the freezer to date- bacon and cheese egg wraps!  Honestly, making up a bunch of these and freezing them for myself is one of the nicest things I’ve done for myself in a long, long time! It’s an awesome way to have a quick and easy breakfast that really satisfies you if you have a long morning of meetings or running errands. If you are a non-pork eater, you can easily substitute a turkey bacon alternative. I have even heard of vegan friends making tofu and veggie scramble and a non-lard tortilla (yes, a lot of traditional tortillas are made with lard but not so much for store bought). The trick to executing this well and not having soggy tortillas is to cook everything and then cool it down to room temperature before assembling your wraps. This is also…

Easy Rice and Beans

No Comments

This post is inspired by Clinton Kelly’s “Breakfast Beans and Rice” from a recent episode of The Chew. The Chew is one of those shows I just love to watch when I’m at my parents (they have alllll the TV channels) and my mum is especially careful to save me the episodes when they are doing specials on how to stretch a buck! I actually really appreciate that they do things like this because I often find the food in magazines and TV shows to be a bit unattainable. Clinton’s recipe came up in a segment about never wasting the last little bits of what you have in the fridge! When I saw Clinton’s recipe, I immediately thought of this salsa from Sobey’s Our Compliments brand. My mum got me hooked on it because of it’s smoky chipotle flavor, and since I use a LOT less than traditional salsa, I feel…

Asparagus and Mushroom Hash with Fried Egg

No Comments

Hey! Spring has sprung here in Edmonton and it always leaves me craving green things like salad and asparagus! This was a quick and easy meal that I made one night when I combined a side dish my mum makes with some yummy fried eggs. It’s decently affordable, but as anyone up here in the GWN knows, veggies don’t really go down in price until summer is in full swing. At a price tag of nearly three dollars per person, this is a luxury meal in my book. Asparagus and Mushroom Hash with Fried Egg Serves 2 for $5.88, or $2.94/ serving 1/2 a bundle of asparagus – $1.68 4 eggs – $0.90 3-4 button mushrooms – $1.27 1 tbsp Pine Nuts – $1.17 1 tbsp Parmesan – $0.86 Start by dicing up your mushrooms into a small size and sauteing on medium-high with olive oil, salt and pepper. Stir…
