This is meal is perfect for breakfast or dinner. The caramelized onions, roasted potatoes, eggs, cheese, and fresh chives make for tasty meal. I roasted tomatoes and topped them with balsamic glaze for an added burst of flavor.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil (I used a garlic basil infused olive oil)
2 tablespoons butter
1 sweet onion sliced
4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 red potatoes sliced thinly
2 cups grated sharp cheddar
12 large eggs beaten
2 tablespoons fresh chives diced
1 tomato sliced
drizzle of balsamic glaze
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Add 1 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to a nonstick skillet and heat to medium.
Add the onions, garlic, and thyme. Cook stirring the onions until they brown for 14-16 minutes.
Add the balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1-2 more minutes.
Remove onions to a plate and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of olive oil and remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt.
Spread out the potato slices over the olive oil and butter and cook for 5 minutes stirring to coat both sides of the potatoes with the olive oil mixture.
Turn the heat down to low.
Press the potatoes down in a single layer over the base of the pan.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the potatoes.
Add the onions over the cheese.
Pour the eggs over the onions.
Sprinkle the chives on top.
Bake for 20 minutes-25 minutes until eggs are set.
I served this with sliced tomatoes brushed with olive oil and topped with salt and pepper that I roasted for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.

I am always looking for ways to sneak veggies into dinners. This simple pasta bake consists of two layers of ravioli with zoodles (zucchini noodles) in the middle. My kids devoured this dish and didn’t even notice the zucchini noodles mixed in with the tasty fresh ravioli.
Ingredients:
2 packages fresh ravioli (I used spinach and cheese filled raviolis)
1 zucchini spiralized
6 slices mozzarella cheese
1 jar marina sauce
1 cup shredded Italian cheese
Directions:
Pour a layer of marinara sauce in the base of a 9×13 dish.
Arrange the ravioli in a single layer. I alternate the two flavors.
Place the zoodles on top of the ravioli.
Top with the second layer of ravioli.
Place sliced mozzarella over the ravioli.
Pour remaining marinara sauce over the dish and spread to cover evenly.
Sprinkle shredded Italian cheese.
Spray aluminum foil with nonstick spray and tightly cover the dish.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes if cooking immediately. Remove the foil and cook for 15 more minutes.
If prepping and refrigerating prior to cooking, bake for 45 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered.

I normally bake stuffed peppers, but when I saw this recipe I decided to try it since you do not have to pre-cook the meat. I had intended to use ground beef; however, since I accidentally bought chicken breast instead I chopped up chicken breasts …
Boston Cream donuts and chocolate eclair’s are a treat I often cannot resist. This is a lightened up version that is just as delicious. The best part is you can whip this up in minutes, let it set in the fridge, and serve when you are ready to indulge.
Ingredients:
3 boxes instant French vanilla pudding 3.4 ounces
4 cups nonfat milk, plus 1-2 tablespoons milk
1 8 ounce tub whipped topping thawed
1 box honey graham crackers 14 ounces
1 can chocolate frosting 16 ounces
Directions:
Arrange a layer of graham crackers in the base of a 9×13 dish.
Whisk the pudding mix and milk by hand or in a stand mixer. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
Place another layer of graham crackers over the pudding.
Spread out the remaining pudding over the graham crackers.
Top with one more layer of graham crackers.
Whisk up the frosting by hand or in a stand mixer and add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to thin it out.
Spread the frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
I placed my 9×13 in a cake caddy and let it set in the fridge. If the frosting is too high to use a lid top with tended aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator.
Let set for 12 hours or over night to soften the graham crackers.
