This was inspired by baked ziti, a traditional Italian pasta dish. Lacking ziti noodles, and craving the combo of butternut squash and goat cheese, I cooked up this comfort food breakfast with penne, instead. The yolks were a wonderful complement to the sauce and cheese! Also, I happened to have gluten-free chickpea pasta so that’s…

Cloud Egg Muffins
The cloud egg trend has taken Instagram by storm, which fascinates me, because I’ve never thought they were very aesthetically-pleasing. But I’m an egg Instagrammer, so I couldn’t let the trend run its course without trying my variation on them: the cloud egg muffin. Essentially, I made cloud eggs, but in a muffin tin, so…
Eggs in Shell Pasta with Vodka Sauce
Featuring gluten-free chickpea pasta! (not required, but a good choice if you’re craving real pasta and can’t have it). I recently had the opportunity to try this chickpea-based pasta by Banza, and as someone who CAN have regular pasta, I can tell you that it was GOOD! But what isn’t good, smothered in cheesy vodka…
Baked Eggs Pull-Apart Crostini
This week in, “what can I make with these five random ingredients,” comes a successful eggsperiment combining a leftover baguette and the produce currently in my refrigerator. I love when I get to take my time playing around with recipes like this on a Sunday! I asked what I should call this on Instagram, and…
Poached Eggs On Sweet Potato Toast with Avocado and Goat Cheese
I don’t claim to be a health-food blog, but I feel so good after making this alternative-to-bread breakfast! I was inspired by the many delicious-looking sweet potato toasts fellow-blogger Skylar Allen makes (see her Instagram). While Skylar roasts hers in the oven, I, being impatient, grilled mine over the stove. It turned out so good,…

You know me: I like to put eggs in my pasta leftovers. Here’s a new, snack-size way to do it. Stay tuned for updates as I try these nests with more types of pasta! Also, consider these for your meal-prep purposes – they were just as delicious the second day. Ingredients: 6 eggs (Makes 4 pasta…
Baked Eggs Caprese Cups
Why make eggs on toast when you can transform your bread into something cute and Italian-inspired? I had basil and tomatoes at home, and so this caprese variation was born. Try it and let me know what you think! Ingredients: 4 pieces of bread (I used white bread) 4 eggs 2 slices of deli-sliced mozzarella…
Sriracha Mayo Breakfast Tacos
This combo came together Sims style: What can I make out of these 5 ingredients I need to use before they go bad? Thus, these vegetarian-friendly sriracha mayo tacos with tomato, salsa, avocado and soft-boiled eggs were born! I used Sir Kensington’s sriracha mayo as the base, but you can mix together sriracha and regular mayonnaise,…
Baked Eggs Bell Pepper Cups
I saw a recipe video on Facebook depicting cheesy bell pepper “pizzas” and knew immediately that I wanted to try a Mexican version of it. And I’m so glad I did – they turned out so good, I’ve now made this for both dinner and breakfast in the last week! The cilantro spread I used as…
Sun-dried Tomato Waffle Egg Cups
This savory waffle breggfast has officially been added to my list of all-time favorites! I was inspired by a local D.C. startup called SWAP Foods that makes plant-based, gluten free AND paleo frozen waffles. (Here’s my interview with their founder when I first discovered swapples last year). These cups were such a delicious way to use them….
Spinach & Eggplant Breakfast Pita Pizzas
I recently discovered a South Indian-inspired eggplant spread made here in Washington, D.C. It’s perfect with eggs, pita bread, tortilla chips or toast — but my new favorite way to use it is as a sauce for breakfast pita pizzas! The spread is by Sasya Foods, a locally-based company making vegan and gluten free spreads that also happen…
Eggs in Mac & Cheese

We used a mac & cheese recipe by The Pioneer Woman as our foundation, which you can find here. Our modifications for baking it with a yolky touch are below. You can also make this using any leftover mac…
