This root vegetable hash taps into the best of fall’s flavors with beets, potatoes, shallots and sweet potatoes. Add some nutrient rich kale, fresh herbs and a fried egg on top and you’ve got yourself a delicious breakfast!

Meal Prepping your Veggie hash

Back when I owned a cafe, we had some epic breakfasts, like this one! With a restaurant, you always have to think about how you can prep a dish ahead of time so it can be sent out to a customer within 10 or so minutes of them ordering it. It was always a logistical juggle and not every recipe was destined for the menu because of that factor.

Recipes like this root veggie hash were perfect because you can cook the mix ahead of time and toss it in a hot skillet to reheat and get those crusty edges before serving. That’s also what makes it so great for breakfast meal prep! Root vegetables are nice and hearty and will stand up well after a few days in the fridge. You can either serve it up with a hardboiled egg, or fry up a fresh one when you’re ready to eat.

Breakfast Hash ingredients and substitutions

  • Sweet Potatoes: I love the sweetness they add to this dish! If you’re not a fan you can just substitute all Yukon gold potatoes or try another one of my favorites, parsnips!
  • Potatoes: I love Yukon golds in this recipe but if you don’t have them, russets or baby reds will also stand in just fine.
  • Beets: You can always roast them yourself from scratch but that’s going to add some serious cook time. Instead, I opt for pre-steamed and peeled beets (like these ones from Trader Joes that I use in my lemon beet hummus recipe) because they will make your life SO much easier.
  • Onions and Garlic: Shallots or yellow onions work best in this recipe. You want them to get nice and caramelized to add to the sweetness. Garlic because duh.
  • Kale: I love nutrient rich kale and it’s hearty enough to hold up in this recipe. Spinach wilts down too much, but swiss chard is an excellent alternative. Or use the beet greens if you bought them fresh!
  • Thyme: I opt for fresh thyme as the flavor is unparalleled. In a pinch, you can use dried thyme. Parsley or fresh rosemary would also be good substitutes.

This root veggie hash happens to be vegetarian, but if you’re a meat lover (no judgement here!) then by all means add some bacon or deliciously salty corned beef to the party.

tips for Making this root vegetable hash

Here are some pointers for making sure your hash turns out truly incredible!

  • Cut all the root vegetables roughly the same size so that they cook evenly
  • Add your ingredients in stages since they will have different cook times. Start with the root vegetables and onions. I will often add a splash of water to the pan and cover it with foil so that the steam makes sure they cook all the way through without getting burned on the outside. It takes about 15 minutes for them to get “al dente” so that they are fork tender without being mushy.
  • Then add the kale, garlic and fresh thyme. Give it a good stir. It should take about 5 more minutes to wilt the kale a little bit and toast the garlic.
  • Nestle your eggs into the mix if you have a good non stick pan. They will take about 8 minutes on medium low heat for the whites to cook through. Otherwise fry them separately so they don’t stick.
  • I like a cast iron skillet because you’ll get a nice charred crust on the vegetables, but any deep and heavy skillet will work.
  • Start with your root veggies
  • Add your kale, thyme and garlic
  • Nestle in those eggs

I’m thinking about making this luscious red pepp I’m thinking about making this luscious red pepper pesto pasta for dinner tonight! The sauce is a spin on romesco in the most delicious way. 🍝

The feta, tomato and kalamata olives take it to the next level! But the best part is that the sauce is so versatile for other uses like as the base of a pizza, as a spread inside a wrap or burger bun, or drizzled over a roasted chicken breast. 🍕🍔🍗And it only takes five minutes to blitz it up in a food processor! 💪

What are y’all whipping up for dinner tonight?

You know that lonely bag of Costco cauliflower ric You know that lonely bag of Costco cauliflower rice sitting in your freezer?  Look how beautifully it transforms with a super easy cooking method my personal chef friend @skusnic taught me!  There’s no defrosting, no squeezing out excess water, no babysitting on the stovetop.  Instead, you let the broiler do the work for you! 

The high heat dries out the riced cauliflower so it gets toasty instead of soggy.  Once it’s at your desired level of golden brown, pull it out and dress it up with whatever flavors you have on hand.

I like to make mine into a keto-friendly, gluten-free rice pilaf with toasty pinenuts, garlic and parsley, finished with a shower of Parmesan. Yummm!  Video to come soon!

I can’t tell you how excited I am to share this I can’t tell you how excited I am to share this dish with you! I was inspired by my friend Elena from @mamamiamangia__  and her beautiful Italian creations! 🇮🇹 

I’m not exactly sure what to name this recipe but it’s basically garlicky shrimp with white beans, sundried tomatoes and arugula. 🍤🍅🥬The flavor is amplified with lots of bright lemon zest and herby parsley. 🍋 A generous pinch of red pepper flakes brings just the right amount of heat without being spicy.  Best of all it’s gluten free and low carb.  It was so good we ate the leftovers tossed with linguine for dinner! Follow along in my stories to see it all come together!

I know I say this about all my recipes but you really should save this bad boy!  Not only does it taste like a million bucks, it looks like it too, and luckily its incredibly simple to make!

Mediterranean Shrimp and White Bean Arugula Salad

Half pound peeled and deveined shrimp (defrosted frozen is fine)
1/3 cup sundried toms, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp parsley, chopped 
Half can cannelini beans
 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
Pinch of Red pepper flakes
Sea salt and black pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil
Arugula

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a non stick sauté pan over medium heat.  Add peeled and deveined shrimp and sprinkle lightly with sea salt and black pepper. Add the four cloves of minced garlic. After about 1-2 minutes flip the shrimp once they’ve turned pink on the bottom.  Then add the beans, sundried tomatoes, lemon zest and juice and red pepper flakes. Cook 1-2 more minutes until shrimp is fully cooked and then remove from the heat.  Add the fresh parsley and toss well. In a big bowl, lightly dress fresh arugula with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and pepper.  Spoon shrimp mixture over the top and garnish with extra lemon!

*Honey Coconut Chia Pudding with Blood Orange and *Honey Coconut Chia Pudding with Blood Orange and Pomegranate*

I was today years old when I discovered my love of chia pudding! 🙌 I’ve given it a few chances over the years but could never get the consistency just right and I couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about.  But I’m a sucker for a meal prep breakfast and was determined to figure this one out. 

Thankfully a fellow personal chef and longtime friend of mine @skusnic let me in on the secret of her ratios.  I still managed to botch her recipe because I can’t be bothered to follow a recipe to save my life (this is why I’m not a baker!) but it turned out fantastic nonetheless. 

I love how the bright winter citrus and tart pom seeds cut through the richness of the coconut. 🍊🥥And the honey adds just the right amount of sweetness to make you want to devour the whole batch! 🍯

🛑Make sure you hit the SAVE 👆🏻 button on this one!  I can’t wait to see how you customize it with your favorite flavors!

*Honey Coconut Chia Pudding with Blood Orange and Pomegranate*
2/3 can of coconut milk 
1/2 cup of milk of your choice (I used skim bc it’s what I had)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup chia seeds
1.5 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Pomegranate arils
Blood orange segments
Hemp hearts or flax seeds 

Combine coconut milk, milk, vanilla and chia seeds and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours or over night.  Stir in honey and top with pomegranate seeds and orange segments. Top with hemp hearts or flax seeds (optional)

I don’t know about y’all but in our family, Ch I don’t know about y’all but in our family, Christmas breakfast is just as important as Christmas dinner!  Traditionally I make a strata because I can prep it all the night before and just pop it into the oven in the morning!  That way, I can enjoy our Christmas morning stress-free without fussing in the kitchen.

I’ve been making this bagels and lox strata for years and the flavor is out of this world!  Safe to say, it’s a family tradition.  I love using everything bagels for the extra flavor they bring to the table. Plus, you can’t go wrong with the flavors of smoked salmon, capers, and cream cheese. 

I throw a little spinach in the mix to amp up the green color and finish it off with fresh dill or chives for some extra herby goodness.  I think Chrissy Teigen has a similar recipe but this is my spin on things.

Everything Bagels and Lox Breakfast Strata
3 day old bagels cut into 3/4” cubes
5 eggs
1 3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1 tsp dijon mustard
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 small shallot, minced
2 tbsp capers
6 oz smoked salmon or lox
2 cups spinach, torn
4 oz cream cheese
EBTB seasoning
Fresh dill

Combine the eggs, milk, parmesan, dijon, salt, pepper, shallot and dijon and mix until smooth.  Grease a medium sized casserole dish, scatter the bagel pieces around the dish and pour the egg mixture over the top.  Scatter the spinach pieces, lox, and capers and gently stir into the bagel and egg mix. Top with dollops of cream cheese and additional everything but the bagel seasoning.

Cover and place in the fridge for at least two hours, or ideally overnight. 
Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, like a cake, and not with raw eggs.

Top with the fresh dill and serve!
