Starting with sliced peppers, onions and Portuguese sausage (cooked separately), I threw in some leftover Okinawa potatoes I made the previous night (this is one of the key ingredients I wait to have on hand; it saves a lot of time to have ready-cooked potatoes).
My beautiful friend Autumn made one of the best breakfasts I've ever had during a staycation weekend in Orlando with some of my dearest girlfriends a couple years ago. Ever since then, whenever I have the right ingredients lying around, I try to replicate some version of the meal. The original recipe was made with sausage and sweet potatoes, but anything similar you have will work just as well!

You know those days when you want a light, tasty and fresh meal without too much work? One of my favorite ways to cook a meal is on the grill and one of my favorite things about Hawaii is the year-round grilling weather we enjoy! The prep is done in the kitchen and the cooking in the garden under twinkling lights- what better combo is there?! While I was wedding planning last year, I purchased the Real Simple Wedding edition which was full of pretty pictures, helpful tips, and most excitedly a year-long subscription to the magazine! Every month we, (yes, my husband sneaks peeks when I’m not reading it), flip to the back and peruse the recipes. You will see as my posts continue how many are derived from a Real Simple recipe. This one is no exception! The original recipe can be found here; I made a few adjustments as I went.
The first week my family moved out to California we went to the local farmers' market. It is awesome! What's even more awesome is there are several fresh markets during the week in the outlying towns nearby. So in the event, I can't make it to my favorite one on Tuesdays, I can hit up the Friday one, or the Monday one, or even if necessary the Sunday market.
Every week holds new produce possibilities, some great deals (especially for California!) and lots of taste-testing for the kids. They look forward to our weekly visit. I try to plan out my meals loosely and then shop at the farmers' market for all our fresh produce needs (minus bananas). Whatever is in season, economical and looks good is what ends up on our plates for the week! Hi there! Have you ever tried to make sourdough starter? Making the sourdough starter from scratch usually takes a week or so and that's hoping you catch the good bacteria first time around. My husband loves sourdough and I have become quite partial to it myself so every new place we go, I try to start up a new batch. I am still working on getting my starter to thrive before I start using it in recipes.
Anyways, I happened upon this salt-rising bread and learned that many people used this method way back in the old days. You only need to let the starter sit overnight and it's ready to be used as leavening and nutritional value the next day! |
