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

Sweet little Bella! How I would love to share some delicious macaroons with my hard working nurse buddies <3
Yum…
Did Bella enjoy the breakfast rellenos? My favorite is definitely the breakfast cookie!
I definitely remember all the way back to reading this post on the day it was published. So hard to imagine your live without Livy now! Fingers crossed for some awesome macaroons to come my way!
Your macaroons looks delish!
Ooh, thank you for re-introducing me to this post! I will have to make that breakfast relleno. Looks delicious! I would absolutely love to win this giveaway, as I am a new mom to baby #2, trying to get back into my pre-preggo fitness (at least my pre-preggo clothes…a bit sick of endless yoga pants) and chasing around a toddler with a newborn leaves me a bit zonked when it comes to making tasty snacks for myself. Thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you so much for the giveaway. I love macaroons and I would love nothing more than to try your famous batch!!
I love to revisit your older posts! It’s so fun to see where you’ve been and how things have changed. The macaroons always look tasty though! 😉
They look amazing!! I’d love to try them! 🙂
I love vintage posts and macaroons!
Yay sneaky giveaway and yay macaroons!! 🙂 🙂
i would love a dairy free version!
Would love to try these!
Great idea! Glad you’re all settling in 🙂
YUM!! I’ve fallen off the healthy-eating bandwagon a bit this week due to a heat wave (give me ALL the ice cream right now lol), but these look DELICIOUS!!
Oh, a nice breakfast! I miss those <3
Ooh those look good! It’s always nice to get some fresh ideas for how to sneak veggies into breakfast. I feel like when i start the day with some veg, it’s easier to keep the ball rolling all day 😉
Love this idea! (both the recipe and the sneaky comments!)
made something similar to these this weekend! delish
I would absolutely love to try your homemade goodies! Also, thank you so much for posting a sample of weekly workouts. It always reminds me to write my weekly workouts out.!
Mmm. I have never had those peppers – I wonder if they would be too hot for me? This looks very good. I would like a soft cheese and eggs….
I made breakfast rellenos about 3 mornings a week after this post came out! I loved them and breakfast cookie!
These days I’m lovin the protein fluff with a banana mixed in for dessert! I’m pretty sure vegan macaroons would make a good breakfast and dessert 😉
Looks delicious!
Yay for sneaky giveaways and bigger yay for macaroons!!! 🙂
Love the sneaky macaroon giveaway! I’d love to try them!
The sneaky giveaway led us to this delicious breakfast post! Thanks Gina!! And yummy macaroons.. you’re the best!
Mmmm, these look SO good! And macaroons sound so good too ;). Probably my favorite dessert!
Fun idea!! Keep up the good blogging work 🙂
Sneaky giveaway comment! Thanks for linking back to this post….forgot how yummy these look!
This is a very cool idea!
I love sweet breakfast more than savory! Gotta love a little chocolate or nut butter in the morning 🙂
That looks so good! Such a great idea.
What a fun idea! So glad you are enjoying your new home and city! Macaroons would be a perfect way to celebrate the end of an 8 week challenge with my gym: 10 pounds and 4% BF DOWN!
PS: will you be offering a SSU? I’ve been introducing my 19 year old daughter to your workouts! 🙂
I’ll try these next time I see peppers at the farmers market!
Definitely will have to try those for breakfast! Looks delicious!
Yumm macaroons
what a fun idea!
Love macaroon’s and sneaky giveaways!
Sneaky-sneaky!! I’d love to win. 🙂
I love simple breakfasts! And pico on eggs is a must!!
Looks delicious. (Although I’m with Elle on wondering how hot the peppers would be because I’m a wimp when it comes to foods with a kick.)
Yum! I love peppers!
I need macaroons! I’m 7 weeks pregnant and chasing a toddler all day! 🙂
I’d loooove to win your giveaway, Gina! Thanks for hosting one.
Love this recipe and so glad to see you’re settling into San Diego! Now i just need to track down some acai smoothie packs…
Yum!!!! I actually need to try this recipe now. Thank you sneaky giveaway!
Those look delicious! Definitely need to try!
Yummy! I have to try these soon!
I’ve been a faithful reader for about three years now and I’ve never seen this recipe! Will have to try soon, my husband and I have a love for chile rellenos!
These look delicious. You should definitely highlight more vintage posts.
Definitely savory for breakfast. I love the idea of peppers!
