Tex-Mex Migas

This migas recipe is one of my favorite Tex-Mex breakfasts. Eggs are scrambled with tortilla chips, veggies, and cheese. It's quick and delicious!

In this migas recipe, I scramble eggs with crumbled tortilla chips, melty cheese, and fresh veggies like tomatoes, jalapeño, and onion. It’s based on the countless versions of migas I’ve tried in Austin… and when I say countless, I really mean it. Here in Austin, Texas, migas are on the menu at just about every breakfast and brunch spot, and whenever I see them, I order them. I love the combination of the fresh ingredients with the crisp tortilla chips and gooey cheese. Lucky for me (and you!), migas are easy to make at home. I make this recipe nearly…

Healthy Banana Muffins

These healthy banana muffins are moist, fluffy, and flavorful! Made with whole wheat flour and maple syrup, they're a delicious breakfast or snack.

I’ve been making this banana muffin recipe on repeat lately! Adapted from my healthy banana bread, it’s made with whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. But even though these muffins are healthy, they’re super moist, fluffy, and full of sweet banana flavor. Kids and adults (well, at least Ollie, Jack, and me) can’t get enough of them. I love these healthy banana muffins for breakfast or as a snack. We’ve been going through them pretty quickly in our house (I’ve made them 3 times this month already!), but if you have more restraint than we do, they’re great…

Best Shakshuka

This shakshuka recipe features gently poached eggs in a flavorful tomato and red pepper sauce. Try it for an easy, healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

breakfast / vegetarian

Shakshuka is one of my favorite breakfasts…and lunches…and dinners. Though this Middle Eastern and North African dish is traditionally eaten for breakfast, it’s so easy, filling, and flavorful that it’s a great option for any meal of the day. Below, I’m sharing my go-to shakshuka recipe, which features gently poached eggs cooked in a fragrant bell pepper and tomato sauce that’s spiced with cumin and paprika. It’s an updated version of a recipe I originally shared in 2017, with a more traditional, streamlined ingredient list and new photos. If you like simple meals that go BIG on flavor, you’ll love…

Harissa & Spinach Shakshuka

This spiced-up riff on shakshuka is a delicious breakfast or brunch! It features a harissa-seasoned sauce, fresh spinach, and creamy avocado.

Who else loves shakshuka?! I’m such a fan of this Middle Eastern and North African breakfast dish that if I see it on a restaurant menu, I’ll almost always order it. But more often, I make it at home. You can find a traditional shakshuka recipe elsewhere on the blog, but today’s recipe is more of an unconventional twist. I add harissa to the sauce for spiced depth of flavor, and I stir in spinach for a fresh veggie kick. To take it over the top, I pile on avocado slices before scooping it all up with pita. It’s such…

No eggs? No problem. This vegan French toast recipe is easy to make with simple ingredients. Fluffy, light, and crisp, it's a delicious breakfast.

brunch

This vegan French toast recipe is just as good as the classic kind! It’s fluffy on the inside, crisp around the edges, and has a lightly sweet cinnamon flavor. You might think that it takes fussy ingredients to make French toast without eggs, but this recipe is secretly simple. Made with 9 pantry basics and ready in 20 minutes, it’s an easy, comforting, and delicious breakfast. I first tried vegan French toast years ago (like…25) at the Pick Me Up Café in Chicago. Jack and I went there regularly when we had just started dating long distance and he would…
