We loosely followed this recipe: http://damndelicious.net/2016/06/12/guacamole-breakfast-sandwich/ Our modifications: first, we used precooked bacon, which we microwaved for 1 min. Second, we made scrambled eggs (2 egg whites, 3 eggs, and a dash of milk cooked on low heat in a buttered teflon pan) instead of frying them. Third, we made guacamole (see http://piglettedc.tumblr.com/post/148260873751/simple-guacamole-recipe-here) but omitted… Continue reading Guacamole breakfast sandwich

Chilaquiles with chipotle sauce and poached chicken breast

Indian semolina upma with cashews
We tried this tiffin breakfast recipe: http://indianhealthyrecipes.com/upma-recipe-how-to-make-upma/ Our modifications: first, because the recipe serves only one, we doubled the ingredients. Second, we used cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, and whole fresh cayenne pepper (the recipe was fairly unclear). Also, “hing” is asofoetida. Third, although the ingredient list did not mention salt, the video did. We… Continue reading Indian semolina upma with cashews

Spaghetti pie with pecorino, black pepper., and broccoli raab
We tried this for brunch: https://smittenkitchen.com/2016/01/spaghetti-pie-with-pecorino-and-black-pepper/ Instead of 8 oz pecorino, we used 6 oz pecorino and 2 oz parmesan. We also added about ½ tsp crushed red pepper to the egg mixture. Finally, I concur with Smitten Kitchen that the springform pan needs to be tightly wrapped with foil to avoid unwanted spillage. I… Continue reading Spaghetti pie with pecorino, black pepper., and broccoli raab
Colombian ripe plantain and cheese cake (torta de maduro)
We tried this casserole recipe, but we had only four ripe (nearly black) plantains. For the fifth, we substituted with one ripe banana and 1 tsp flour (since plantains have a higher starch content than bananas). We used an 8x8 baking dish, which we buttered. At the end of baking, we broiled on low for… Continue reading Colombian ripe plantain and cheese cake (torta de maduro)

Once the bacon browned, we added ¼ cup chopped scallions (mainly whites) and sautéed on medium-low heat until the scallions started to caramelize. We added 5 lightly beaten egg whites (seasoned with a… Continue reading Simple egg white frittata with bacon and caramelized scallions
Skillet cornbread with blueberries
We were looking for a not-too-sweet recipe, so we tried this: http://www.jessicagavin.com/skillet-cornbread-blueberries/ We used ¾ cup coarse yellow cornmeal and ½ cup blue cornmeal.
