Egg Pizza

I saw this recipe made on Everyday Food and I thought, "I bet I could make that even better!" And so, tonight I did. I took the original recipe and added a few more veggies, cheese and changed the tomato topping. There are a few tweaks I might make next time, but overall, it was easy, healthy and fun to make. I have posted my version of it below.


2 tsps olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/4 green pepper, diced (It would probably be better with a red pepper for sweetness.)
1 carrot, diced
5 slices bacon
8 eggs
2 Tbsp water
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1-2 cups spaghetti sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a 12" ovensafe nonstick skillet, heat 2 tsps olive oil. Cook carrot until soft, about 5 minutes. Add onion and pepper or any other veggies and cook until soft. Remove to paper towel and cool completely.
  2. In the skillet, cook bacon until done, not too crispy, though, as it will continue to cook in the oven. When done, remove to paper towel and drain grease. When cool, cut up into little pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, 2 Tbsp water, 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, kosher salt and pepper. When vegetable mixture and bacon are cooled, add to egg mixture.
  4. Heat skillet to medium heat and add egg mixture. Reduce heat a bit and cook until set around the edges, a few minutes. Transfer to oven and bake about 6 minutes. Add dollops of ricotta to the top and continue cooking until eggs are completely set, about 5 more minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, heat spaghetti sauce until warm. When 2 minutes remain, pour spaghetti sauce over and top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and cook until cheese is melted.
  6. Remove skillet from oven with an OVEN MITT!
Feel free to play around with the veggie/cheese/meat combo, like a quiche.

Marinara with butter and onion

did I tell you that I love butter? well, I do. (see here ) so when i came across this recipe on the smitten kitchen , i was in awe. although wisdom tells you that a good marinara sauce comes from hours of simmering vine ripened tomatoes in delicious spices and mouth watering aromatics, this recipe sort of defies that wisdom. it's three ingredients...that's it. while the quality of the tomatoes does add value to this sauce, it's also ok to substitute with the can of tomatoes you've got on hand. if that's san marzano tomatoes, it's going to be delicious, if it's just a can of hunts, it will still be fantastic (i don't recommend a store brand of tomatoes for this recipe, however). for me, it's the go to recipe when i'm swamped and cannot find time to spend in the kitchen. let me tell you something about myself. i'm a people pleaser. so i have a hard time saying no. "can you help coach knowledge bowl?" yes. "would you b...

sunday slow cooker: red beans and rice

in honor of mardi gras this year i made red beans and rice from scratch.  i am grateful to say that 6 years of my life took place in new orleans, la.  well, actually it was 5 years and 1 month + 11 months while we were displaced because of hurricane katrina, but we won't talk about that.  and during those 11 months in utah my heart was still in new orleans.  in case you're not familiar with new orleans, their claim to fame is FOOD.  and no ordinary food will do, no no no.  it must be GREAT FOOD.  and believe me, we had GREAT FOOD while we lived there.  and lots of it.   one of our favorite dishes was red beans and rice.  now that we don't live in new orleans, it's not as convenient to just run to the store and buy a can of already prepared Blue Runner beans.  so, i decided to come up with a recipe all on my own that used the slow cooker (it was sunday dinner and now with 1 o'clock church i'm using my slow cooke...

rotisserie chicken noodle soup

i can't even begin to tell you how much i wish that this were not a post about soup.  i wish i could have a talking with mother nature and convince her that spring is necessary.  not only for the budding tulips and daffodils, but for my mental status.  i dislike winter.  there.  i said it.  this year i even tried my best to not let winter get to me.  i invested in insulated running tights and lots of warm gear to get me through all the snow storms.  and i ran through lots of cold dreary days.  and it helped.  oh boy, did it help!  but dog-gone-it, it's may now.  i tried to have patience through the blustery march weather.  i was optimistic when april's sunshine peeked through the clouds.  but, honestly, that was maybe once.  and now i'm telling you what...my patience has worn thin and i'm anxious to get my cold weather gear put away.  i want to hop on my bike and pedal my way into mental heaven.  but ...
