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.

heart cookies

got this recipe from martha for valentine's day.  it is a mix between an oatmeal cookie and a shortbread cookie and oh so yummy.  i'll be taking these to a preschool party and around to some of my friends tomorrow.  they are reminiscent of graham crackers and chocolate frosting, which my husband and kids love, so i'm hoping they enjoy these.  the dough turned out be a bit different than the recipe claims, but i made it work.  i've changed the recipe only slightly-i dipped the hearts in melted chocolate chips rather than sandwiching nutella between two cookies.   one great tip on melting chocolate is do it in the microwave!  it's so easy and you don't have to worry about a double-boiler and all that clean up.  ina garten, the barefoot contessa and one of my cooking idols, gives a great explanation on how to do it here .  i'm sure the nutella way would be good, too.  it's just not something i regularly have in my pan...

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...

Lime Sugar Cookies (from America's Test Kitchen)

Once again, no picture yet. I'll post one when I get a chance. This is a great alternative to just the ordinary sugar cookie with frosting. I made the whole batch and froze half of it for later. The cookies taste great just out of the freezer! (makes about 2 dozen cookies) 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon grated lime zest 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 (additional) teaspoons grated lime zest Place oven rack in the middle and heat oven to 350 F. Process 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon grated lime zest until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Put this on a shallow dish for coating and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside. Beat butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, 3-6 minutes. Beat in vanilla and, then, the eggs and lime zest. Add eggs on...
