Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
Eggs Florentine Breakfast Salad with Easy Hollandaise Dressing is indulgent — I mean, look at that runny egg! But my recipe is sugar free and gluten free and my blender hollandaise is lightened up with a secret ingredient!
My family has this thing with Eggs Benedict. I know I’m not writing about Eggs Benedict per say, but that is definitely the inspiration behind Eggs Florentine Breakfast Salad.

Can I choose a favorite month of 2015 NOW, or do I have to wait until the last day of December?
What the heck. I’m gonna choose one now and I choose November. I’m 1% hesitant because December is starting to look promising and also because February was a pretty darn good month too. So yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and choose November.

You should see my blog brainstorms. I have pages and pages of ideas scribbles torn from legal pads and they are just floating around the house. And the scrap pages are different sizes, which drives me crazy. Some are from standard legal pads and some are from smaller notepads. For someone who is so Type A, you’d think I would find some way to keep my ideas together. I can organize my closet and my glove box and my calendar and my to-do list. But I can’t organize my brain. I just can’t.
See? I’m off topic already.

First I’m going to tell you about the food. The excellent food. I love this recipe. But then… then I want to share an inspirational story about how I landed my exciting new freelance gig. So keep reading!
I had all these beets in my fridge last week and no good way to use them up. I love beets, but sometimes the cleaning and peeling and roasting and the messy pink liquid that stains your fingers and your countertops seems like a lot of trouble for a simple salad. And when I decide I’m hungry, I’m hungry RIGHT NOW. I don’t want to wait for the oven to preheat and then wait for the beets to slow roast.

Happy Monday!
I had a good weekend. Not to brag or anything. The week leading up to it was pretty quiet… The Bachelorette has ended and we didn’t make up another excuse for girl’s night. Summer has kind of slowed down and I didn’t make much of an effort to pick the pace back up again.
I expected the weekend to be the same. But then it was full of random, last-minute adventures, which is the best kind of weekend. You start off slow, with no real plans, and then everything you do seems fun and surprising and spontaneous. Like…

Now that I’ve given you dinner & dessert, let’s round out Valentine’s Day Weekend with a romantical breakfast in bed.
I’ve never been served breakfast in bed. I KNOW. I have been missing out for years on one of relationship’s greatest perks. So I can’t exactly tell you what getting breakfast in bed feels like. But I can tell you how I imagine it to be: it’s like having all of your dreams come true + a warm, cuddly blanket + world peace.

I eat eggs for breakfast five or six times a week. Usually Egg Beaters, to be specific, piled on piece of whole wheat bread with a thin layer of sugar-free jam. I like to start my day with a substantial, healthy breakfast, high in protein and low in sugar. Aside from eggs, there aren’t a whole lot of other choices. Please let me know if there’s a huge/obvious food group out there that I’m not thinking of!
But sometimes the monotony gets to me. Plus, I LOVE a good, real egg with a runny yolk. Enter, this super-quick, make-this-even-if-you-hit-snooze-too-many-times, breakfast recipe. The protein still comes from eggs, but it’s different enough from my usual routine that I don’t feel fried. (Get it? I know… I don’t have a future in stand-up.)
