It’s just another Wednesday, and clearly I’m c It’s just another Wednesday, and clearly I’m capable of eating a #frittata nine ways to Sunday! This one happens to be stuffed with #zucchini #onions #bellpeppers and TWO kinds of cheese #feta #cheddar 🧀 Massive side of #avotoast topped with #crushedredpepper for a kick 🌶️. And some leftover #broccolislaw 🥦🥕🥓 

I would not call myself a vegetarian, cuz #bacon , but this is definitely a #plantforward kind of meal, and somewhat of a regular here at the homestead. I like #realfoodrealfast - how ‘bout you?

Today’s crave bowl is thanks to leftovers, an in Today’s crave bowl is thanks to leftovers, an intense craving for crispy chickpeas, and too much unstructured time on my hands. Once my quest for crispy chickpeas began, I knew it was going to be an hour before they were ready. So, I also roasted up some green veggies, pulled out the leftovers, and shelled some pistachios. I refreshed the maple tahini sauce I’d made a few days ago with some hot water, and here we are. Absolute deliciosity 😋 

What’s in my bowl?
-cooked quinoa
-roasted broccoli
-roasted green beans 
-roasted chickpeas w/ za’atar seasoning
-dried cranberries
-pistachios
-bell pepper and cukes w/lime juice and salt
-maple tahini drizzle (tahini, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil)

Grain bowls are one of my favorite things to create - no two are ever the same! For me it’s all about the extras - nuts, sauce, and something sweet, to jazz up the grain and veg. 

Cheers to #humpday !

One Bowl Salted Dark Chocolate Brownies. 🖤 Dark One Bowl Salted Dark Chocolate Brownies.
🖤 Dark as sin. 
🤎 Decadent for days. 
🖤 Unapologetically rich. 

If I could eat only one kind of brownie for the rest of my life, this would absolutely be the one!
• It’s got crispy/chewy edges and the fudgiest middles. 
• All the mixing happens in one bowl.
• It takes just 8 ingredients, 15 minutes of prep, and under 30 minutes in the oven.
• They freeze beautifully so you can squirrel them away and pull one out anytime you DESPERATELY NEED a #browniesundae

I have made these a dozen times, going off of a delightful recipe from Cafe Delites, when I needed a brownie recipe that featured cocoa powder instead of baking bars. I knew I needed to make a #darkchocolate version, because that is where my heart lives 😍 I hope you give it a try!

Salted Dark Chocolate Brownies
Yield: 16 brownies
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25-27 minutes

1/2 cup butter
1 Tbs olive oil
1 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract 
1/2 c all purpose flour 
1/2 c Hershey’s special dark cocoa powder
1/2 c dark chocolate chips
Sea salt

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a square (8x8”) pan with spray oil; line with baking paper.

2) In a medium sized bowl, melt one stick (8 tablespoons) of butter in the microwave, about 45-60 seconds. 

3) Add oil and sugar and whisk vigorously (or use hand mixer) for about a minute. Add eggs and vanilla, whisk again for a minute.

4) Using a sifter or mesh strainer, sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl. Add a pinch of sea salt. Stir the mixture by hand *only* until all dry ingredients are incorporated (do not use a electric hand mixer here). Fold in chocolate chips.

5) Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 25-27 minutes. The very center will be a little gooey; the edges will show fudge-y crumbs on a toothpick.

6) Cool for 20 minutes then sprinkle sea salt over the tops. Cut into 16 equal squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in freezer for 3 months.

Pickled Eggs are some delicious! And beautiful bey Pickled Eggs are some delicious! And beautiful beyond measure 💜💗. 

We tried our hand at this method of #eggpreservation a couple of weeks ago. It’s super easy -> hard boil eggs, peel them, and soak in a beet juice/vinegar/sugar/salt mixture for at least a couple of days. 

We turned them into classic #deviledeggs - huge hit! The purple-tinted whites were firm and ever-so-slightly pickled, and the filling was your usual tangy yolk mixture. 

If you’re interested in pickling eggs, check out this method we used by @thespruceeats 

https://www.thespruceeats.com/red-pickled-eggs-with-beet-juice-3056469

If you want to read more deeply about egg preservation and especially the #foodsafety angle (like, for instance, the importance of using sterilized jars/lids and to store them in the refrigerator, not at room temperature) you can read all about that at The National Center for Home Food Preservation:

https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_06/pickled_eggs.html

I believe these will be making another appearance at our Easter festivities 🐣
