EGG SALAD

EGG SALAD

Serves 4 One of the members of our family had never even heard of egg salad (if you were here with us you could see us pointing at Matt). Now he loves how quick it is to make, and delicious too! It’s so easy, and kids can help with every step; Cole even makes it by…

KALE, BACON, & BLACK OLIVE EGG PIE

KALE, BACON, & BLACK OLIVE EGG PIE

Serves 6-10 slices Sometimes for breakfast we make egg pies, otherwise known as frittatas. If you used a crust, it’d be called a quiche. No matter what you call this recipe, it’s super-delicious. The kale gets crispy on the top and adds a nice crunch! It’s best hot,…

SWEET QUICHE

SWEET QUICHE

Serves 6-8 Another name for this could be the Italian flag egg pie because it’s got red bacon, white apples, and green spinach–and it’s a pie. Egg pies, also known as quiches, are a fun way to eat your eggs. If you’d like, you can find different ways to make this for…

EGGS IN A NEST

EGGS IN A NEST

Makes 12 “nests” When Stacy was growing up, Sundays were a day when her mom made special breakfasts. Often it was the same breakfast Stacy’s mom had asked for when she was a kid: an “egg in a nest.” Back then, the nest was a piece of toast, pan fried, with the center…

GOOSE EGG SCRAMBLE

GOOSE EGG SCRAMBLE

Serves 4 Goose and duck eggs have large, nutrient-rich egg yolks. Did you know they are a wonderful combination of fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals that your body loves to absorb to help your body and brain grow? When we found goose eggs at our local farmers’…

MINI EGG PIZZAS

MINI EGG PIZZAS

Serves 6 Mussels are not like the muscles in your body that make you strong. They’re little creatures inside black shells that cling to rocks in the ocean. When you get them from the store, they are still alive (be careful and use gentle hands)! When you prepare them…

CURRIED MUSSELS, NOT MUSCLES

CURRIED MUSSELS, NOT MUSCLES

Serves 6 Mussels are not like the muscles in your body that make you strong. They’re little creatures inside black shells that cling to rocks in the ocean. When you get them from the store, they are still alive (be careful and use gentle hands)! When you prepare them…

LEMON DILL SALMON

LEMON DILL SALMON

Some kids think that they don’t like to eat fish. We understand why: we’ve had fish we didn’t like before, too. But if you try it when it’s been cooked just right, you won’t be able to resist it! Plus, salmon is super-good for you–it helps your entire body get into…

FISH IN A BOAT AND COLE’S SALMON SALAD

FISH IN A BOAT AND COLE’S SALMON SALAD

Serves 4 When we make a “fish salad,” either with tuna or salmon, we always put it in a veggie boat. We imagine that it’s like the fish jumped out of the ocean and into a boat, no fishing pole required! Our boys started taking these salads for lunch after Cole noticed…

FRIED CAULI RICE WITH SHRIMP

FRIED CAULI RICE WITH SHRIMP

Serves 4–6 Fried rice used to be a favorite in our house, but we don’t eat rice anymore. Luckily, instead of rice you can use cauliflower. Once you have rice, you might as well fry it! The cauliflower rice is just as tasty as anything you could get delivered by a…

PORK ROAST WITH SQUISHY SQUASHY APPLES

PORK ROAST WITH SQUISHY SQUASHY APPLES

Serves 6 The best thing about cooking a pork roast this way is that the juices from the pork ooze out and flavor the apples, making squashy apples you just won’t be able to get enough of! The apples become salty and squishy like a pork-flavored applesauce. Delicious!…

PULLED PORK

PULLED PORK

Serves 2 people per pound When people think barbecue, they usually think pulled pork. It sounds hard to do, though; most people think they can’t cook it at home. Well, as one of our favorite foods we wanted to figure out how to do it at home. And so we did, with just…
