B-fast Relleno- sneaky giveaway ENDED
Hi friends 😀 How’s your day going? Hope it’s been lovely so far.
Lately in the mornings, I’ve had to drag Bella out of bed to go outside.
We wake up to my alarm, she covers me in Bella kisses and then she goes back to sleep until I’m ready to leave for the day. She’s not a morning person, either 😉
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Since I’ve been living in Tucson, so many Mexican food memories have come back to me. Tamales, pink cookies from the Mexican bakery, nana’s homemade tortillas and beans, salsas, etc. etc. etc. For the past couple of days, I’ve had chile rellenos on the brain. When my family and I would go to Mexico more often we would always stop to have chile rellenos at the mercado. The lady who would make them would spend all day making chile rellenos- fresh peppers stuffed with cheese and lightly fried. The egg batter was so light and crispy – they would literally melt in your mouth. Definitely swoon-worthy.
So today, the breakfast relleno was born 😉
Last night while I was making dinner, I roasted two polano peppers in the oven for 30 minutes at 350.
I popped them into a container and put them in the fridge to be waiting for this morning.
When I woke up, I cut down each pepper and removed the seeds with a knife:
and then filled each one with goat cheese 🙂
The peppers went under the broiler for 4 minutes, and while they broiled, I made some scrambled eggs (1 egg + 2 egg whites).
Stuffed the peppers with said eggs:
And served with pico de gallo (you can make fresh or buy), tea and (brown rice) toast.
Vegan? You could use vegan cream cheese of choice and a tofu scramble in lieu of eggs (tofu, peppers, nutritional yeast, sea salt, pepper and cumin)
They took less than 10 minutes to make and were AMAZING. Spicy, savory, and perfectly filling. The beautiful aroma even got Bella out of bed 😉
Well I’m off to work!
See ya laterrrrrr <3

This is fun! Macaroons sounds awesome and Bell is so cute in the picture above!
Would love some macaroons! And that delicious egg scramble recipe!
To reply to the original post… I’m all about the savory breakfasts!
I like saving the sweet treats for later… like a macaroon (or five) with lunch 😉
Would love to try out those macaroons! What a fun idea to bring us back to an old post – and now I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow morning too 🙂
You are the sneaky one! I’m enjoying all your San Diego adventures… thanks for the giveaway and I have my fingers and toes crossed. 🙂

Would love to win some homemade macaroons! 🙂
Hi Gina! I’ve been following your blog for just a few months now from NYC and LOVE it! I wish I had the 5 years of so of all the good stuff you’ve published in my head already but alas I’m slowly reading through old posts but loving the journey. I even decided today that I’d do your 2014 Winter Shape Up! It’s never too late 🙂 XXOO, Cindy
Ha – great idea!
Never got around to making this one – might need to put it on the list for this weekend!! 🙂
That breakfast looks delicious! ….and the macaroons sound delicious! 🙂

Thanks for the sneaky-ness!

I love your breakfast idea and I know my husband will love it even more. I am getting some poblano’s for me and some jalapenos for my husband.
Such a fun giveaway! Early congrats on the blogiversary!
Sneaky-ista! Great vintage post, yummy. Macaroons always a delicious give-a-way. Can’t wait to see what you have planned next!!
Yum, I’ve always wanted to try the macaroons! Very sneaky and it was neat to look back on a vintage post.
yum, this recipe looks tasty! okay…tasty minus the goat cheese…it’s just so pasty and sour to me. i might try it with a flavored cream cheese.
i find your macaroon recipe intimidating so i would love to win some! fun little giveaway!
Hoping to try some *vintage* treats! Love your bloggie 🙂
I have quite a sweet tooth, so, I usually have a sweet breakfast (generally some oatmeal, cereal Greek yogurt, or pb and banana). It seems like these breakfast’s are quicker or easier to grab and go. Anybody else feel that way?
Buuuuuut i do love me some biscuits and gravy as a treat!
Ooh how fun! Thanks for all you do for us Gina!
Fun idea and the giveaway is very thoughtful!!
What a good way to be sneaky there. 🙂 Well to answer the breakfast question I prefer a breakfast in the middle, not overly sweet but a touch to make it yummy. Have a good week.
Haha – your love of goat cheese has never wavered. Would love some roons!
I’d love to try some vegan macaroons! Sounds delicious, what a fun giveaway!
I’ve been reading so long that I remember this recipe! I’ve always wanted to try the macaroons!!
Such a clever idea!! Vegan macaroons sound so yummy! 🙂
How fun! Love sneaky give aways!
Sneaky sneaky Gina! 🙂
What a great idea with the sneaky giveaway! I’ve never had a macaroon before (that I can remember) but they look delicious!!!
I’ve been dying to try these macaroons!!
Thanks for doing a giveaway and especially for this week’s workout ideas! You help spice up my exercise routine!
I would love some vegan macaroons!
OH the famous macaroons I would love to finally try them! On a funny note my friend calls you the fitness-sista 🙂 Now it’s our inside joke for one of our favorite blogs.
Yeah for sneaky giveaways! Thank you
This breakfast looks awesome! So glad that I found your blog recently, love reading your posts!
This is creative…I like it! I love savory breakfasts (no sweet tooth over here). Lately, I’ve been making egg soufflés for breakfast…I make them korean style (2 whole eggs + 1 white beaten well, sea salt, & chicken stock, sprinkle seasoned nori on top – steam in a clay pot until fluffy and cooked thru)….yay!!!
I have been reading for about a year but a while ago I went back an read a post from when you were still in Valdosta and have been reading forward from there and noticed the frequent roon giveaways but haven’t seen anything recently. I would be excited to try them!!
