Today I’m sharing a simple and yet, super delicious recipe from Ashley Rodriguez’s (Not Without Salt) new cookbook “Let’s Stay In.” As I flipped through the pages of this beautiful book, many of the recipes called out to me, but one in particular just kept staring me right in the face, wanting me to make it. The funny part is that it turns out to be a relatively healthy dish that just so happens to be vegetarian and gluten-free. Now, if you know anything about me, and have been following my work on this site for a while some time, you’ll know that I don’t tend to gravitate towards healthy dishes, let alone vegetarian ones. At the same time though, you’ll know that I do have an affinity for breakfast and brunch dishes with a Tex-Mex vibe to them. A pepita avocado crema topped with a stuffed poblano pepper, fried egg and then doused in crumbled cotija cheese? Yes please. 100% yes without question. If there was ever a dish that just screamed BREAKFAST FOR DINNER, this one would take the top prize. It’s easy enough to whip up any night of the week, after a long day at work when all you want to do is go home and have a healthy meal you can feel good about eating. This checks off all of the requirements for any meal.

All you have to do to enter the giveaway is leave a comment below telling me what is your favorite thing to cook or eat in Autumn! You have until Monday to enter.

I just recently got into making (and eating) shakshuka. I’ve been seeing it all over the internets and social medias for a while now, and definitely all of last year, and yet I never tried it because I’m the type of person that goes against the things that seem like they’re being pushed down my throat. So out of my stubborn principle I refused to make it. Then I had to shoot a shakshuka for a cookbook and so I was forced to make it and I ate some, and I have to tell you that my eyes were opened for the first time. I’m the first one to admit when I’m wrong and I was most definitely wrong about this dish. Eggs cooked in a spicy tomato sauce and then topped with crumbled feta and cilantro and served with crusty bread or pita for dipping and mopping up the sauce and yolks. It’s unbelievable. So now that I’m hooked, I of course had to turn it on it’s head, and so now I present to you this magical mash-up of Shakshuka Bread Bowls. It’s like a portable version of a popular dish. If you haven’t made it before, I have to tell you that it’s so simple. It’s vegetarian, but packed with so much flavor. You won’t regret making it. Trust me. 
BLT Eggs Benedict is what you get when you want brunch but also lunch, which is basically what brunch is I guess, but still, you know what I mean. It’s when you want a sandwich, but an open-faced sandwich. When you can’t decide between a 
Today I’m celebrating the release of Deb Perelman’s second cookbook “
When I was a kid, I would BEG my mother for a sausage egg mcmuffin (from you know where) because they were, and I’m sure still are if we’re honest with ourselves, very delicious. Every now and then she’d give in and let me have one and I swear I never wanted it to end. I haven’t eaten one in years, I can’t even remember when was the last time, but what I do know is that I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to recreate it at home. The best thing about these sausage egg and cheese english muffins is that you can make them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for breakfast throughout the week; just reheat, grab and go! The homemade breakfast sausage really takes them over the edge, and they’re not complicated at all to make. In the same time it would take you to get in your car, drive to the drive-through and order a breakfast sandwich you could make it for yourself from scratch, feel good about it, and not have just one but actually four of them. Its a win-win situation no matter how you slice it.
