Honestly I’ve learned more on Tiktok than I did

Honestly I’ve learned more on Tiktok than I did at my four years at SDSU (don’t kill me mom & dad). This breakfast sandwich was viral for a bit and now I can see why. It’s soooo delish and easy to make! I used @birchbenders homestyle toaster waffles instead of bread because if you don’t know by now, I’m obsessed. I’ve been eating at least one per day lol. Their paleo ones are amazing as well and have such clean ingredients. You can check their store locator to see where to purchase, but I’ve seen them at Target, Whole Foods and Sprouts! #sponsored
.
Ingredients:
2 @birchbenders waffles (bread or a bagel works too)
2 eggs, whisked
2 strips of bacon
Cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper
Oil or butter for the pan
Instructions:
Add your bacon to a foil lined baking sheet and place in a cold oven. Set the heat to 425 degrees. Your bacon should be done in about 20 minutes, but check on it until it reaches your desired crispness.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add your oil or butter to the pan to prevent sticking. Add your whisked eggs then immediately add your toasted waffles. I coated the outside in egg as well (see video). Once the egg is cooked (about a minute), flip it over and fold in the sides. Add your cheese and bacon then fold it up! I left it on the stove a bit to make sure the cheese melted. Sooo good and easy to make!

Honestly had no idea that this salad was going to

Honestly had no idea that this salad was going to literally go viral 😳 I guess I just need to start remaking things that the Kardashians eat lol. But honestly, this remake of La Scala Beverly Hills Chopped Salad is truly out of this world- it 💯 deserves the hype. If you haven’t made it yet, this is your sign. Too good not to share again 😉✨🍋
.

Ingredients:
3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
3 cups iceberg lettuce, chopped
1 15 oz can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed well
1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup cucumber, diced
1/2 cup low moisture mozzarella cheese, diced
1/3 cup salami, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt & pepper
Lemon juice to serve
Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced or crushed
Pinch of dried oregano, salt & pepper
Start by making your dressing by whisking together all ingredients. Pour about 2 tbsp of dressing over your garbanzo beans and refrigerate for about an hour. Combine the rest of the ingredients and toss together with the dressing. Serve with lots of lemon juice and top with more grated parm! Makes about 2-3 servings. It’s great with grilled chicken too!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY BROCC! ✨ Started this account

Super easy, but also make it delicious and impress

Super easy, but also make it delicious and impressive looking 👌🏼 The perfect summer recipe has just arrived and I’m calling it Greek Shrimp & Orzo. I wanted to call it Baked Greek Lemon Garlic Shrimp with Tomatoes, Feta & Orzo but like nobody has time for that including me. Anyway, I know you will all love this dish because it’s simple, light and perfect for a quarantine summer ✨ #cookingisntcancelled
.
Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp
1 cup cooked orzo or rice
4 large tomatoes, cored (canned tomatoes work too!)
1 large shallot, sliced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano (double if using fresh)
1 tsp red chili flakes
Salt & pepper
Olive oil
Feta cheese
4 lemon slices
Fresh mint & basil to garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut your tomatoes in half and scoop the seeds out with a spoon and discard. Dice the cored tomatoes and put aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a generous drizzle of oil to coat the pan then add your shallots and garlic.
Once fragrant (5 minutes or so), add in your tomatoes and continue to cook until the tomatoes are cooked down (about 5 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, oregano, chili flakes and paprika.
Add in your cooked orzo (I reccomend cutting the cooking time down by 2-3 minutes so it’s al dente- this will prevent it from getting mushy when you bake) and stir to combine. Season to taste.
If your pan isn’t oven safe, transfer the orzo mixture to an oven safe dish. Place the shrimp on top of the orzo mixture, sprinkle with feta cheese and add a few fresh lemon slices. Bake for 10 minutes or until shrimp is cooked through.
Top with fresh basil and mint. Would be great to serve with some hummus and tzatziki as well! 😋 Makes about 4 servings.

Sometimes I’m like FUCK 2020 BLOWS!!! And then I

Sometimes I’m like FUCK 2020 BLOWS!!! And then I remember that it’s the same year Trader Joe’s released this Honey Aleppo Sauce and I’m like ok it’s not THAT bad... 😅 I’ve been obsessed with using it to marinate chicken for bowls, tacos, etc. It would even be fab on shrimp, salmon, potatoes, veggies, trash. It’s just delightful. Tonight I made an easy Honey Aleppo Chicken Pita that I think you all will enjoy very much 😋
.
Ingredients:
Trader Joe’s Honey Aleppo Sauce
Chicken breast, cut thin if it’s a thick piece!
Avocado oil
Pita bread
Romaine lettuce
Cucumber
Feta cheese
Instructions:
Marinate your chicken in enough sauce to fully coat each piece of chicken for 1-24 hours. In a hot pan over medium heat, add enough avocado oil to generously coat the pan. Once the pan and oil is hot, add your chicken. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side or until cooked through (depending on the thickness of the chicken). Remove the chicken to cool for a bit before cutting. Leave the pan on without cleaning it and add your pita bread. Cook for about 1 min each side until warm and slightly crispy. Inside the pita, add your diced chicken, veggies, feta cheese and some extra sauce! Enjoy!

TRULY one of the best things I’ve ever put in my

TRULY one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth and *shockingly* it’s a salad. But not any regular old salad. This Crispy Prosciutto, Burrata & Peaches Salad will absolutely change your life this summer. I teamed up with the Peaches to my Prosciutto, @olive.eeeats, to make this dish just as beautiful as it is delicious 😋 Thanks for making my vision come to life, would not have been this pretty with you, Olivia 🤩
.
Ingredients:
4 cups arugula
6-8 slices of prosciutto
6 oz Burrata
2 peaches, sliced
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt & pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
On a greased baking sheet, arrange the prosciutto in a very loose ball/nest by folding the ends inwards. Spray with cooking oil and bake for about 10 minutes until crispy, checking frequently to prevent burning.
Toss the arugula in olive oil with salt & pepper.
Arrange your sliced peaches, Burrata and crispy prosciutto on top of the arugula. Sprinkle the fresh basil on top with a drizzle of oil, balsamic vinegar, salt & fresh cracked pepper. Serves 4! But obviously Olivia and I ate the whole thing so it can feed 2 if you really want it to 😂
