  • Easy Avocado Toast 3 Ways (Quick Breakfast Ideas!)

    By The Impatient Kitchen

    Avocado toast may be the rare breakfast that became wildly trendy despite essentially being toast with something smashed on it. We respect that level of efficiency. 😉 The trick is making it actually taste fabulous instead of like someone put an unseasoned avocado on bread and charged $17 for it. These three easy avocado toast variations give us a classic fried egg version, a fresh feta and tomato situation, and a spicy version for mornings that could use a little personality!

  • Easy Spinach & Cheese Frittata (15-Minute Breakfast!)

    By The Impatient Kitchen
    Posted in ,
    A frittata is basically what happens when scrambled eggs decide to get their lives together. Same easy ingredients, considerably better presentation, and suddenly we have something perfectly respectable to put in the middle of a brunch table. 😉 This Easy Spinach & Cheese Frittata is loaded with fresh spinach, sharp cheddar and Parmesan, with a dollop of Greek yogurt whisked into the eggs to make everything extra creamy. It takes one skillet, works for breakfast, brunch or dinner, and is particularly useful when the refrigerator contains six eggs and a bunch of random things that need to become a meal.

  • Honey Butter Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Easy Caramelized Side!)

    By The Impatient Kitchen

    Sweet potatoes don’t need marshmallows, a casserole dish or an annual Thanksgiving appearance to be fabulous! Toss them with butter, honey and a little salt, roast them until the edges get dark and caramelized, and suddenly we have a side dish that tastes considerably more ambitious than the five minutes of work involved. 😉 These Honey Butter Roasted Sweet Potatoes are buttery, sweet, salty and gloriously golden around the edges. They work just as well next to a random Tuesday-night chicken breast as they do on a holiday table, which is exactly the kind of versatility we appreciate around here!

  • Crispy Roasted Cauliflower (Easy Buffalo-Style Side Dish!)

    By The Impatient Kitchen
    Posted in ,
    Cauliflower is perfectly fine steamed. It’s also perfectly fine wearing khakis and going to a quarterly budget meeting. But roast the hell out of it until the edges are dark and crispy, then give us ranch and hot sauce for dipping? Now we’re interested. 😉 This Crispy Roasted Cauliflower is ridiculously easy: olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and a hot oven. Eat it straight off the pan, dunk it in cool ranch, dip it in hot sauce Buffalo-style, or alternate between the two until an alarming percentage of a cauliflower has disappeared.

  • Lemon Parmesan Asparagus (Easy 15-Minute Side Dish!)

    By The Impatient Kitchen
    Posted in ,
    Asparagus is one of those vegetables that really doesn’t need much help. Give it some garlic, freshly grated Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon, roast it until the tips get a little crispy, and suddenly the green thing on the plate is getting considerably more attention than expected. 😉 This Lemon Parmesan Asparagus takes about 15 minutes, uses one pan and works with pretty much any dinner. Fast, fresh and absolutely no need to boil a vegetable into submission first!

  • Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots (Easy Buttery Side Dish!)

    By The Impatient Kitchen
    Posted in ,
    Carrots are already sweet. But toss them into a skillet with butter and brown sugar and suddenly the vegetable we bought because we were trying to be responsible tastes suspiciously close to candy. 😉 These Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots are buttery, sweet, a little salty and covered in a glossy brown sugar glaze that takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. No roasting pan, no complicated glaze…just veggie perfection!
