on nights when matt isn't home for dinner, i tend to eat vegetarian... for no other reason than the fact that he more or less requires meat in his dinners, and typically i don't want to prepare it for just myself. sometimes, i have cereal. sometimes it's pb&j on toasted english muffins.
on this particular evening, it was poached eggs* on buttered toast, black beans with a drizzle of fresh lime juice and salsa, and torn butter lettuce with a light dressing. perfection.
*this was my first go at poached eggs. i highly recommend
following these steps if you're a beginner.
My guy requires meat at dinner too when usually I would prefer to eat vegetarian. My go to is usually some penne tossed with whatever veggies I have on hand and a little Italian dressing, but that egg looks mighty delicious.... it makes me a little hungry.
ReplyDeletei pretty much do the same thing when my husband is out of town. i would be a vegetarian probably if i only ever had to cook for myself.
ReplyDeletealso, smitten kitchen says you can save these for later. i normally eat my breakfast at work. i wonder if i could reheat them in the microwave for a second?

That sounds like Nick and I. He loves meat way more than I do, so when I'm solo I do veggie all the way!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dinner for one as well! I, too, poached my first egg in the last few months, and could not have done it without my laptop and SK's step-by-step instructions. A magical experience for all egg lovers!
ReplyDeletePerfect timing as I am wanting to poach an egg for my dinner tonight. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your blog and I like it already. Poaches eggs are amazing, and with toast... you know what's up.
