Egg White and Veggie Scramble for the Whole Week

Maris Callahan — Wed, 03 May 2017 04:41:12 +0000

A lot of people subscribe to the idea of “cook once, eat all week” and cook a big batch of something on Saturday or Sunday, and then eat it for dinner throughout the busy work week. For some reason, I get bored eating the same dinner three nights in a row, but I don’t mind eating the same thing for breakfast. When I worked at my first job I ate the same breakfast every single weekday: oatmeal flavored with sugar-free maple syrup. It was filling, low-calorie and in hindsight…really gross. I had this routine just long to become very, very sick of oatmeal, but not enough to swear it off altogether for the rest of my life. Even so, 10 years later, I can’t seem to resort to oatmeal as my go-to weekday hot breakfast. What I do like eating are eggs. I’ve recently been trying to eat healthier and lose weight, so I’ve been buying liquid egg whites and mixing them with cheese and veggies. It’s a low-calorie, low-fat, high-protein meal that also happens to be fresh and full of flavor. It’s also infinitely customizable, and really quick and convenient. Even though I work from home, I still don’t have the wherewithal to […]

Spicy Sriracha Hashbrowns with Peppers and Onions

Maris Callahan — Fri, 29 Apr 2016 05:00:51 +0000

Breakfast for dinner is a fun and fast way to get a healthy dinner on the table during the week. A lot of breakfast staples lend themselves nicely to pairings with vegetables, like omelets, quiche, frittata and Hungry Jack® Hashbrown Potatoes. Somehow, vegetables are far more appealing to me after 9:00 a.m., and judging by the fact that most coffee shops stock pastries and cakes instead of green salads, I’m guessing I’m not alone. If you want to enjoy your savory breakfast favorites in the evening, breakfast for dinner is the perfect solution. A balanced dinner that includes some protein, vegetables and carbs is the perfect way to refuel after a long day. To make this spicy spin on a Sunday brunch staple, you need half an onion, a pepper (I used a combination of red and green) and if you like, some avocado and a bunch of cilantro for garnish. Grab an egg from the fridge, pop open a carton of Hungry Jack and you’ll have a complete meal before you can say “mimosa.” Save Print Spicy Sriracha Hash with Peppers and Onions Author: Maris Callahan Recipe type: Breakfast and Brunch, Worknight Dinners Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 15 mins Total time: […]

“Egg-centric” Brunch Menu [Ham & Cheddar Miniature Quiches]

Maris Callahan — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 05:00:02 +0000

It’s been well documented that brunch parties are among my favorite occasions for entertaining. Whether it’s a last-minute winter brunch or you’re whipping up a batch of chai-spiced apple cinnamon pancakes for a special occasion breakfast in bed. If you’re hosting Easter brunch at home, there’s really only one way to celebrate and that is with eggs. Eggs are the ultimate Easter entertaining food. Not only are they delicious, but they’re affordable at approximately 20 cents apiece and incredibly versatile. So versatile that you can serve them at any party in more than one way, and I can almost guarantee you that nobody will complain. My favorite way to serve eggs for a brunch party is in a quiche or fritatta. When serving a crowd, I like to make miniature quiches so that if someone arrives late or wants to pop back into the kitchen for seconds after the meal has been served, they can easily reheat their portion. “Egg-centric” Brunch Menu Deviled Eggs, Three Ways Cherry Lime Scones Ham & Cheddar Miniature Quiches (recipe below) Arugula Salad with Pear & Blue Cheese Blueberry Elderberry Tart with Shortbread Crust Pro-Tip: if you’re also planning to make the above deviled eggs, the American Egg […]

Stonefire Smoked Salmon Flatbread

Imagine your favorite bagel with lox, cream cheese, capers and red onions…in a “naan traditional” way. Skip the bagel and opt for a Stonefire Authentic Flatbread with all of the fixings for a perfect brunch treat. I grew up in New Jersey, which happens to be a state that is portrayed really, really terribly on cable television. Despite the Jersey Shore and the city of Newark, New Jersey has plenty of lovely towns and even some culture and history. From the time I was three until I went to college, I lived in Plainsboro, a tiny town adjacent to Princeton of Princeton University fame, which is a formal rural farming town turned suburban oasis for transplants from New York and Philadelphia. Award winning sports teams, 96% college admissions rate, a lot of fenced in backyards. As a teenager, it was the most boring place on earth and of course, I hated it. Once I hit college in Pennsylvania which a large population from the great garden state, I realized that despite it’s reputation as the “Armpit of America” people seemed to have an inordinate amount of state pride. Women proudly described themselves as “Jersey girls” and suddenly, Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen were a […]

Coconut Cream Pie Oatmeal Bowls

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BringYourBestBowl #Target #CollectiveBias In this recipe, creamy and delicious oatmeal combines with the indulgent taste of coconut cream pie for a breakfast that will transport you to a tropical vacation. Living in Chicago during the winter months, my daydreams typically involve beaches and frozen beverages, even though neither of those things are within reach during the long, cold months of January, February and March. On days that you wish you were poolside but the weather is better suited for cold weather comfort food, you can combine the two: coconut cream pie oatmeal. Oatmeal is a great go-to for breakfast, especially in the winter when you crave something that will stick to your ribs during the morning commute. As it so happens, Quaker® is currently hosting their National Bring Your Best Bowl Contest, where anyone can enter a recipe for a chance to win $250,000.
