Giveaway Winner and a Special Weekend Breakfast

Before I dive into today's post, I must announce the winner of my CSN Stores giveaway. For those that retweeted the giveaway on Twitter, I put their names in the pool twice. So, without further ado, the winner is....

Molly G.!!!

Here's Molly's response to what she would buy off the CSN Stores website with the $30 gift certificate:

What a fantastic giveaway! As a vegetarian I read so many great winter soup recipes, but they all require a food processor, which I don't have! I'd use the CSN gift card to finally make the food processor purchase!

Congrats, Molly! Please email me at theeconomicaleater@gmail.com to claim your prize!

I'm leaving for Florida in a few hours for a business trip this weekend to the Orlando Food and Wine Fest (I know...my life is hard), so today's post will be rather short. However, I thought this leisurely weekend breakfast Z and I made last weekend may inspire you to also make something a little extra special over the next few days for yourself.


The ingredients? A toasted everything bagel from New York City (thanks to Z), roasted asparagus spears (roasted in the oven on a cookie sheet with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt and black pepper for about 8 minutes), some Muenster cheese and an egg over easy. In other words, it was a mountain of breakfast goodness.


These open-faced breakfast sandwiches were incredibly simple to make, yet they were unique and special enough to make the weekend morning seem that much more relaxing. The runny egg with the thick, crusty bagel and the spicy, thick asparagus spears resulted in a great mix of flavors and textures. 

What's your favorite leisurely breakfast to have on the weekends?

  1. This looks SO yummy! I love making omelettes with a side of crispy bacon on the weekend. I usually use whatever vegetables or cheese I have on hand but it is always so hearty and relaxing!
