egg & guacamole breakfast salad

by Jackie Newgent | July 5, 2018 | 1 Comment

I’m definitely one of those people who enjoys cooking and taking my time with it. But I’m also a realist. There are some mornings I simply don’t have 30 extra minutes to spare. On many of those days, this egg & guacamole breakfast salad is one of my “short-cut” recipes that’s so delightful, yet only takes me about 5 minutes to fix. It’s loosely inspired by huevos rancheros. But there are three secrets to this egg & guacamole breakfast salad. Make sure all of the ingredients are ready to go in the evening to assure it’s a quick-fix for breakfast time. Use the best quality “short-cut” ingredients, like a packaged triple-washed salad (my choice in this recipe is Whole Foods...

no-knead spinach-cheddar protein “bread”

by Jackie Newgent | February 22, 2018 | 4 Comments

It looks like bread! But is it? Well, it’s bread-ish! And it’s my pick for this month’s Recipe Redux: “Bake some Bread.” Though, I guess I didn’t follow the chosen theme so perfectly. Hoping your tastebuds won’t mind! You’ll bake this “bread” like quick bread (think banana bread!). Simply stir everything up in a bowl and pour the batter into a loaf pan to bake. However, it’s not sweet like banana bread; it’s notably savory. Enjoy it as a snack rather than as sandwich bread. And do this: Brown up slices in a tiny bit of olive oil in a skillet and serve like savory French toast! You don’t need to dip the slices in eggs first since there’s already...

by Jackie Newgent | November 5, 2017 | 0 Comments

Do you have one of those recipes that you make over and over and over again? Here’s one of mine! I thought it was time that I shared it! Huevos rancheros is a traditional Mexican meal ideally served mid-morning. Unfortunately, it can fall into the not-so-good-for-you category. So, what can you eat if you want all of its comfort but not its excess bad fats and sodium? This brunch salad! It’s so flavorful, satisfying, and simple—and perfect for any time of day and any time of year. Use any seasonal veggies you like in place of the grape tomatoes and frozen organic corn. And if you prefer to go vegan, swap pinto or black beans in place of the fried...

cauliflower “hash brown” patties

by Jackie Newgent | September 8, 2017 | 2 Comments

I was recently asked by someone with diabetes if I had a lower-carb version of a hash brown patty. I didn’t at that time, but now I do! Here’s the delicious result—-with cauliflower swapped in place of potato. These patties do get nicely browned and a slight bit crisp. (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! (Hint: For those of you who don’t need to curb calories, these can be reheated and...

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!
