If you’re a fan of bacon but no longer eat eat or want something a bit better for your body, then these plant-based portabella bacon strips are a must try!

breakfast egg sandwich with sage flowers

I “crave” a hearty breakfast sandwich probably about once a week. How ‘bout you?

(These are not deep fried in order to keep them calorie-friendly; so, don’t expect extra crispiness!) My personal trick: Make these in advance and keep chilled in the refrigerator. Then over the next several days, quickly heat the number of patties that you need. Reheat in a toaster oven … or even a regular toaster!

lebanese breakfast scramble with pita chips

by Jackie Newgent | August 21, 2017 | 5 Comments

I have always loved huevos rancheros! I have also always adored Middle Eastern food! So, I decided to give huevos rancheros a Lebanese makeover in this lebanese breakfast scramble with pita chips. I also gave it a Jackie-approved boost of veggies, plus a kick of fun. All the ingredients are scrambled up in pan. Pops of pita chips create that fun as you rise and shine with a savory breakfast. Do enjoy it for breakfast or brunch … or whenever!
