Are you guys sick of Thanksgiving recipes?

Because I have onnnnne more (and my first this year!) to share with you. I wasn’t going to share any Thanksgiving recipes because quite frankly, I’m still in denial that it is in mere days and I hadn’t really thought about it much.  Then I needed to get serious about figuring out what I was going to bring to Thanksgiving this year, so I tried out this kale recipe over the weekend.

It ended up being really good so I had to share it with you. It is the kind of dish that will be perfect all winter long, so if you don’t make it this week, you’ve got a few more months to try it out.

This is a rustic dish made with sauteed kale, shallots and garlic, topped with melty cheese toasty bread. Why has this combination taken so long to enter my life?

Save some leftovers, it is delicious topped with a fried egg! Recipe adapted from Food & Wine.

I’ve decided that I need to start making breakfast for dinner more often.

There are a lot of things to love about breakfasts for dinner. In my world, that would mean eggs.

These huevos rancheros are great: flavorful, filling and so budget friendly.

There are many varieties of huevos rancheros, with some more difficult than others, but I decided to go the really easy and simple route. They literally took me 10-15 minutes to pull together. If you want to make your own huevos sauce, Weekly Bite has a great recipe!

Ingredients you’ll need:

  • Corn tortillas
  • Beans (black or pinto)
  • Eggs
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Toppings: salsa, pico de gallo, huevos sauce, sour cream, fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat up the beans and season as desired
  • Fry the eggs (sunny side up is best, but you could also scramble)
  • Melt the cheddar on the tortilla under the broiler
  • Layer cheesy tortillas with fried egg and salsa and any additional toppings
  • Serve with black beans and vegetable
