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

Fun sneaky giveaway! I’m dying to try these macaroons. Pick me!
This is genius! I tend to like savory breakfast foods on the weekends when I can sleep in a little longer, so I’m definitely going to give this a try as a Sunday morning breakfast! I bet you could even do a raw version by not roasting the pepper or using a bell pepper, with cashew “cream cheese”, a walnut “taco meat” and some pico de gallo!
Your blog inspires me daily – would love me some of your famous macaroons too!
Love re-reading your old posts! And now I’m craving some stuffed peppers lol. Goat cheese just tastes good on everything. Love that you are doing a roon giveaway, I’ve always wanted to try them! I’ve made some from the recipe you posted last year and could barely stop myself from eating the entire batch before they were done cooking hah!

I love getting your fit tips- I send them to my husband on a regular basis and he rolls his eyes- I think he thinks something called “fitnessista” is just for us women- however it will come up a couple of days later and you can totally tell he has read it:) Thank you for content that my husband and I will both read and enjoy:)
Sneaky you! I would love to try your macaroons! Can’t wait to read your book. I love your blog and I know your book will be just as fabulous.
