Foodie For Life

Today, I am sharing my two favorite food recipes from the past year. First, is obviously Brunch. Are these mini Caesar Salads not to die for?! They are easy, delicious and nice to look at. 

Just make a normal Caesar salad (just chop a little finer), spoon it on to Ritz crackers and top with bacon and a little parm cheese.  

Just in time for Valentines Day adorable heart shaped bacon! Again, simple and pretty to look at. Shape the bacon into hearts and put them on a baking sheet, then toss them in the oven until desired crispness. 

Heart bacon, mini salads, mimosas. This, my friends is why Brunch is King.

Quick, healthy and delicious all rolled into one.

Happy eating friends!  

Bruching

I don't know what the question is but the answer is Brunch. My most favorite meal. There are few things better than Sunday Brunch. After running and running (figuratively and literally) all week it is so nice to just relax and reconnect with friends and family over some white wine and delicious brunch food. Which is exactly why I wanted to share this super easy recipe with you....

Along with a couple other things, I made this crescent surrounded casserole type of dish. I don't know it's name because I kind of came up with the idea on my own (even though I'm sure there are similar recipes out there). Make this for your next Brunch, you won't regret it.

Use a springform pan and use one crescent roll for the bottom. Just press it down, use the second crescent to build up a dough wall. Add as many eggs as you'd like. I used about 6 in the first layer. Then, add whatever meats and cheeses you want. I used ham and salami and then topped that with provolone.  

After that, add more egg. I topped this with a handful of some delicious spinach. 

I didn't expect the dough to actually curl around this scrumptious dish but it did and was amazing. Give it about an hour or so to cook on 400 degrees. 

I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing Sunday!! xoxo

Slow Down Sunday

I. Live. For. Sundays.

All week long I am in a constant state of moving and running. Life is busy for all of us through the week right? Working full time and also owning a busy photography company can be very taxing on MK and I. A lot of times this is my only day off. Because of that, we have a rule that we only break on rare occasions: no work on Sunday's. 

Since most of my posts are fast this is going to be the one day a week that I'll feature something not so fast. "Slow Down Sunday" is going to be a chance to, well, stop and smell the roses per say. 

So how about these Rose Potato's?! Easy, elegant, and great to switch up the normal boring potato side. Having said it'd easy I must say it is not quick to perfect these lovely buds.

Here is what you need:

• 7 potatoes (or more just depending on your guest list)
• 5-6 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Italian herbs and 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 pepper

Here is what you do:

• Wash and peel potatoes and slice them with a peeler into very thin slices
• Combine oil and spices

• Make a row of like 9-10 slices and brush with your oil mixture

• Start rolling them but hold them tight
• Boom! You've got a rosebud
• Set the rose into a muffin tin, its possible that you might not have enough slices for the circle so you might need to add a couple slices so that the rose sits tight
• Brush the tops with oil seasoning
• Throw in the oven on 400 for 25-30 minutes- just make sure its golden.
