OVEN BAKED SPANISH STYLE TORTILLA

22 Aug 2013 Uncategorized

Hellooo Lovelies! I am SO enjoying maternity leave and playing housewife/mom — wait, I guess I’m not really “playing” anymore, am I?

The other day I was in a total slump about what to make for dinner when I decided to browse through my mother’s issue of Women’s Day. It’s not a magazine I would have thought about subscribing to because I guess it doesn’t seem “young and hip” enough but I actually LOVED it and am thrilled to have something new in my monthly line-up! It’s very budget-friendly and has lots of amazing recipes, fashion tips, house-keeping strategies, etc…

So with a baby at home and not wanting to go to the grocery store for ingredients, I decided to try an adapted version of the spanish tortilla in the latest issue:

What you need: 

  • 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, plus more for the dish
  •  Roasted fingerling potatoes (I had some leftover) but any cooked version of potatoes would do
  •  Salt & Pepper
  •  Scallions ( I didn’t have these but they would be great)
  •  1 zucchini
  •  1 clove(s) garlic, finely chopped
  •  1 teaspoon(s) (or up to 3 teaspoons) crushed red pepper flakes
  •  10 large eggs
  •  1 cup(s) sour cream
  •  6 ounce(s) extra-sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
  •  1/2 cup(s) (about 2 ounces) grated Parmesan

  • What you do: 

    1. Saute the zucchini in a pan with the salt, garlic and red pepper flakes 
    2. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, cheeses, scallions, salt & pepper
    3. Once the zucchini is tender, add your cooked potatoes to the pan and gently toss to evenly warm
    4. In a greased casserole or pie dish, add your zucchini and potatoes and pour the egg mixture on top
    5. Bake at 375 for approximately 35-40 minutes until the top is puffed and browned

    Serve with mixed greens and rustic bread for a delicious dinner!

    Lets Be Social

    We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican ad We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican adventure. This is the two week decompression period where we train our bodies and minds to slow down (this is more for me than anyone else), and let me tell you, I’m lapping it up.  We’re spending all day outside at the beach, going to bed early, eating lots of fresh fruit and healthy foods, swimming in the ocean, I’m working out and meditating in the mornings, and having fun together. For someone who is usually always in high gear, this part is my gift to myself 🐚 

We are staying at a beautiful place in papagayo with @exclusiveresorts and it feels very luxurious and restorative. 

The kids are already thriving. Being together 24/7 comes with its arguments and fights but they are learning how to just be with each other and with their crazy little brother. They’re helping a lot with him, learning a little Spanish, surfing, writing in their journals, and meeting kids from all over the world who are staying here as well. 

I’m letting us get pampered for this phase, and it feels really good. 

Thanks for coming along, I hope your year is off to an amazing start! Is there anything specific you’d like me to share about while we’re in this phase? I was thinking about sharing my morning workouts and meditations, but let me know!
    Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app @melissawoodtepperberg @melissawoodhealth and so far I’m loving the workouts. I try and do one every morning. They’re super quick so sometimes I do two. I like that they are gentle but hard. They incorporate a lots of yoga, pilates, breathing, stretching, balancing and all that good stuff. You can see from the videos I’m pretty shaky in the first couple clips, that balance is tough but I’m building up my strength, I can feel it 💪🏻
