SHAKSHUKA {EGGS POACHED IN TOMATO SAUCE} + A WEEKS WORTH OF MEALS

OCTOBER 18, 2014

shakshuka

Raise your hand if you like breakfast for dinner? I LOVE breakfast for dinner and these days I am guilty of doing this more than once a week. Life gets busy and time isn’t always on my side. On those days, I open the fridge at 5pm, stare at what’s on hand and dishes like this Shakshuka are prepped, cooked, and put on the table within 30 minutes.

Not only is this a great dinner (Levi and Isaac ate the sauce with a loaf of bread and a side of turkey sausage), but the leftover sauce, one or two eggs, and a bit of bread is a very, very easy week day morning breakfast. The first time I made this for Eli, after he ate it, I got both a hug and a kiss. It’s a win-win for all!

Keep a dozen eggs and this sauce in the fridge at all times. Now, that’s an order!
