Simple Egg Bake with Mushrooms, Leeks, and Sausage

by Leave a Comment

mushroom-leek-sausage-egg-bake

I am a big fan of meal planning, particularly for breakfast. In the mornings all I want to do is heat something up and go. This is why I like a simple egg bake (or breakfast casserole, whatever you want to call it) so much. It’s easy to make and even easier to reheat.

I like mine with both veggies and protein, which is where the mushrooms, leeks, and sausage come in. Typically I buy my mushrooms already pre-sliced, which saves me the washing and slicing. Anything that saves me time is a plus. Crimini mushrooms are recommended for this dish as I think they are more flavorful than button, and I can find them pre-sliced at my local grocery store. Plus they’re cheaper than other, more exotic mushrooms like oyster or trumpet. Bur really any type of mushroom will work in this dish.

Oven Roasted Kabocha Squash Soup with Coconut Milk

Have you heard of kabocha squash? I hadn’t until last year, when I tried it in a chicken curry and was sold. It’s mild and slightly sweet, similar to butternut squash. I’ve been wanting to create a fall soup recipe using squash and knew this would be a good bet.

I decided to roast the squash first, so it could caramelize since then it tastes that much better.

Just look at the caramelized kabocha goodness.

The addition of sautéed leeks and shallots in this recipe bring a mild and slightly sweet onion flavor. Combine that with the creaminess of the coconut milk and you’ve got freaking heaven in a spoon.

See the creaminess happening right here?

Quick and Easy Meat Sauce

As fall kicks off, I’ve been trying to find ways to use up the last of the tomatoes in our garden.  My husband is a huge fan of spaghetti so it seemed like a natural fit. He also happens to be a huge fan of meat, so I knew any spaghetti sauce I made needed to be meaty.

It helps when things are simple too, because I don’t have time to let sauce simmer all day long. Enter this quick and easy meat sauce.

It’s officially fall!  My favorite season.  I love summer’s great weather, but I love the crispness of fall even more. Scarves and leggings and warm bowls of food from the oven (or a crockpot). And this recipe fits in perfectly with fall – baked apples with ginger, dates, and pecans in a crunchy filling that will warm you right up. The filling really is to die for. I could honestly probably just eat that stuff right out of the bowl (if it weren’t for the raw egg).
