One Pan Egg Burrito

Loving this vegetarian (or meaty if you like) burrito. Just happened upon this technique and find it so easy and fast. Perfect for a crowd. Nadiya, winner of a BBC Bake off, calls her recipe an egg role. Adding the tortilla as the eggs are cooking is a perfectly great way to put this together in minutes. Personalize it as you’re cooking. Spicy is my thing. So, green chilies or jalapeƱos go right into the eggs along with cheeses. If you’re into meaty burritos add crumbled cooked chorizo or linguica. These can be served cold, and preparing a day ahead works. Just tightly wrap individually after cooling and refrigerate

Try this excellent Salsa to go with.

Tomato Harvest

They all ripen at once! So we’re having Gazpacho and Dad’s favorite sauce. Gazpacho is a great hot season meal … fresh … cool … light and jam-packed with this great fruit.

Our Favorite Gazpacho. Or try this richer version.

Here’s the first sauce I learned to make as a child. Not traditional to be sure but still a family favorite.

Cauliflower Mac n Cheese

For the next posts I’m creating some delicious Ketogenic recipes. Not all meat! In fact, there are Vegetarian versions of this diet. Whether you’re into the Ketogenic Diet or not you’ll enjoy this version of Mac n Cheese. Roasted Cauliflower subs for the macaroni. No matter how much cheese or what spice you add this definitely tastes of cauliflower. My family loves roasted cauliflower … So, adding cheese was just a perfect addition for a main dish result.

About the Ketogenic Diet … I recently began following Keto recommendations with amazing success in losing weight but what peaked my interest most was the benefits to nerve and brain health. I’ve lived long enough to know, information today changes tomorrow … But what I’ve studied just makes sense. I’m sure this diet isn’t for everyone. I recommend contacting your physician before beginning any strict dietary regimen.

Stuffed Poblanos

Changing up from the traditional stuffed bells to poblanos. Less bitter than green bells, full of flavor, especially when roasted, poblanos are a great choice for stuffed peppers. Use your own recipe and substitute roasted poblanos or my vegetarian stuffing (easy to make vegan). I have a meat stuffed bell here or another vegetarian version here … one is bound to strike your fancy.
