As yet another trip draws near, we find ourselves with yet another fridge that needs emptying.
My first instinct to put on the meal plan was pizza, since we have peppers, sauce, a wee bit of cheese and Matt’s homemade crust at our fingertips.
But we also had a small bag of mixed potatoes, which became the centerpiece for tonight’s dinner. Paired with the incredible protein egg!
We roasted the taters (precious) in Garlic Gold oil, rosemary and salt for about 40 minutes.
And pan-seared up the eggs to go on top.
Underneath = spinach, pepper, cucumber, olive oil, honey salt, goat cheese!
Simple. And over easy! Dinner doesn’t have to ever be complicated if you have fresh ingredients on hand.
Something else easy? Google Chrome’s bookmarks bar. I recently discovered that if you leave the name blank in the “edit” field you can let the icons do all the talking. Nice and clean!
Hey folks near Columbia, Maryland – email me if you’d like more info about possible lunch dates!
Just packed for our trip. It’s like Montana all over again!!
Matt and I are sharing a bowl of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and raspberries while we watch shows. And a mug of Pero!
Nite.

YUM! I want your bowl of berries and chips, but I’m not sure I’d want to share!
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
I love eggs — and an over easy egg on salad is so delicious!
I like clean-out-the-fridge meals — they are usually my favorite!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Over easy is my favorite way to eat eggs 🙂
Holly says
You can also do the same thing with the bookmarks if you use firefox- just right click to edit properties, and remove the text in the name field. Looks so nice and clean!
Val @ Balancing Val says
That’d be a nice brunch meal too!
I need to get some creative salts.
What is your favorite? Lavender? Honey? Other?
KathEats says
I love lavender salt!!! It lends such a depth to the salad
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
That dinner looks so good. Comfort food!

Baking 'n' Books says
If you ever decide not to do the Bakery thing after all – please come and prepare my meals for me?? I can pay…well, that is if you accept pennies 😉 How about chips – chocolate-chips?! I can do that.
Question: I “saute” a lot of my veggies in the pan over med-high heat usually with olive oil…I love them but wonder am I over-cooking them? They do come out “soggier” and more like they can’t be heatlhy (because they’re so good!) – but I don’t think I’m using a lot of oil or anything…they usually are frozen, so does the excess water make them less beneficial?
KathEats says
I’ve never had great luck sauteeing frozen veggies. I wonder if you should thaw, drain, pat dry and THEN sautee? I think it is an oil-in-water problem.
JessicaEn says
Frozen veges are great! The excess water does not make them less beneficial, but it does make them not-so-great for sauteing.
Baking 'n' Books says
Thanks! Hey – I got this instantly from email notification! How cool is that 🙂
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I love goat cheese too!!! And I always find random stuff to throw together for dinner before we leave on trips too…. 🙂 such smarty-pants we are!

Gorgeous flowers! Nothing says spring like fresh flowers! 🙂
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Those eggs look perfect! And rosemary is always so perfect on roasted potatoes. What a great way to use up the fridge contents.
Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
usually I covet your meals, but today I didn’t have to do that because that dinner is pretty similar to many of my college meals! I knew I was doing something right 😉
Kristen, Sweetly says
I wish I was closer to where you were visiting! Blogger lunch. <3 I also wish I located some Pero! I tried to sweet-talk my local fun food store to get some in so I wouldn't have to venture to Whole Foods. I might have to give in soon.
Krissy - Shiawase Life says
Yummy eggs! Had scrambled eggs for dinner. =)
Alaina says
What a delicious look dinner! I love eggs any time of the day. 🙂

Have a safe and fun trip!
Natalia - a side of simple says
“What’s taters?” Probably one of the best LOTR scenes… 😉

My favorite salad is from The Fig Cafe and has bacon, bacon vinaigrette and a poached egg. So yummy!

Stacey (The Home-Cooked Vegan) says
That salad looks yummy! I love how creative your meals are 🙂 I wouldn’t think to put taters in a salad, but they seem like the perfect fit! Have a good, relaxing night!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Eggs + spinach have been a staple for me lately. Maybe it’s a springtime craving?
I’m traveling this week and I totally referenced your Travel page for b’fast/snack ideas. Gracias. 🙂
Ashley @ Feeding Ashley says
That looks great. I sometimes forget meals don’t have to be complicated to be delicious.
Hannah says
No way I’d be sharing those berries and chocolate! Well, okay, maybe if I had a husband as nice as yours…

Your dinner sounds simple and delicious! I love roasted potatoes and eggs over easy!
Laura (Starloz) says
omg, that salad. kath how do you do it? that looks incredible
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
“Dinner doesn’t have to ever be complicated if you have fresh ingredients on hand.”–
Amen, Kath.
That is my life’s motto. High raw, as close to nature as possible, doenst have to cost a lot or take much time. Simple food is delish food is beautiful food.
Have fun on your trip!!!
🙂
Cara Craves... says
Eggs make the perfect meal any time of the day!
Safe travels.
Namaste Gurl says
I love eggs anytime of the day- who says eggs are just for breakfast? Looks like a yummy meal!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
Thanks for the Chrome Toolbar tip!!
[email protected] says
Niiice~I like your philosophy of simple dinner Kath 😀 And i love overeasy eggs hehe. Have a sweet night!
Marina says
You are the salad queen 🙂 Wonderful combo, and so simple.
Mary Frances says
Pack for Maryland, not Montana… better not turn into below zero temperatures! However, the lows are expected to hover around freezing. On the bright side, the highs will be in the high 50s to low 60s. Bulbs are beginning to show their colors. Spring… bring it on.
Hannah @ Healthy Whip says
Yum! The raspberries look so bright and juicy!
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
Those eggs look perfectly cooked!
Sarah (Running To Slow Things Down) says
I just recently had eggs and potatoes on my salad too. It was super delicious and so easy to pull together. Perfect for a busy weeknight. 😀
Lauren says
That salad looks delicious! I love eggs on salads. Why don’t more people do this? 🙂 Have a great little trip Kath. If you are in Towson and want to meet for a Trader Joe’s visit, let me know! I actually need to make it there sometime this weekend and would love to meet up with you. Take care!
Jumanah @ Healthy Living in the Middle East says
Wow! That salad looks delicious! I have only had hard boiled eggs on salads before but must try it this way soon! Those flowers in the background look beautiful!
Simply Life says
Looks like a perfect dinner!
Emily says
Nice! I just took out all the descriptions in my bookmark bar too.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
That has been a staple for me lately with it comes to meals. I have been trying to get my B12s in and the eggs seem to be doing the trick. We actually did have pizza last night though. Such a fun and delicious meal at home. Looks like you had a great night!
Jess (Sweet Potato) says
The color of those raspberries is incredible! I cant wait for summer berries!
Christie {Nourishing Eats} says
That salad looks delish. Maybe I will have something similar for breakfast 😀
Khushboo says
Eggs+cheese+potatoes= a winning combo!
Heather @ Get Healthy With Heather says
Eggs and potatoes in a salad are oh so good. Simple and delicious!
Jessica says
I’m so confused by Pero – is it coffee?
I think I’d be breaking my “no instant coffee” rule 🙂
KathEats says
Nope – it’s malted barley! Not coffee at all, and no caffeine. It’s roasty like coffee, but a bit thicker (foamy).
Hope says
That is a delicious looking dinner! I love eggs and potatoes. They are the perfect comfort food. 🙂
Nacho Lindsay says
Those almost look like egg nachos!
Joanne says
Pizza is our go to dish when we are leaving on a trip as well. But what you finally decided on with the egg and goat cheese… that would be my choice.
Safe travels.
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I never used to have eggs on salad, but I’ve been doing it a lot lately since seeing you do it. It’s such a fast, easy meal!
Kim says
You’re going to be at my Great Harvest! We love that place! The owners are so sweet and always friendly when we come in on the weekends. Too bad I’ll be in SIlver Spring teaching second grade all day. I would love to stop by on a weekday but I never make it there in time.
kelsey says
I was really hoping for Columbia, SC. I’ll be there tomorrow. You should probably email me all of your favorite Etsy stores.. You know, in all of that spare time you have. 😉
KathEats says
🙂 Wooden Hive and Oh Little Rabbit have been at the top 🙂
Beth says
Wait, by “like Montana” do you mean you’re packing a ton of stuff to come to Columbia MD? Because I’m from Columbia MD (although now I live in downtown Baltimore) and there is a ton of healthy eating to be had in Columbia! And good beer! In fact, there’s a Trader Joes and an awesome beer store (Perfect Pour) in the same shopping center!
KathEats says
I mean packing up 5 days worth of stuff, including GH t-shirts and bakery jeans
Beth says
Okay! Just wanted to make sure you knew about the hidden gems! 🙂 Enjoy your visit to our fair state…it’s supposed to be nearly 80 by the end of the week. I hope you get a chance to visit downtown Baltimore too.
KathEats says
I don’t think we’re going to make it downtown – gotta spend lots of time with Gram. But I do love Baltimore!
Beth says
It sounds like you know your way around! Sorry I didn’t know all this, I’m a fairly new reader and I’m really enjoying the site!
KathEats says
No worries 🙂
Tiffany says
Ooh, thanks for the Chrome tip!! I’ve changed all of mine over, it’s so much cleaner! I recognize most of yours, but can I be nosy and ask what icons 4-6 are?
KathEats says
Gmail, G-calender, KERF, KERF Admin, Google Analytics, Mint, Twitter, FB
morgan says
i just did that to my google chrome! i love chrome, so simple and perfect!
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Mystery solved! Have so much fun in MD!
Nancy says
(Does this mean you’ll come to Nashua, NH when that store opens? Because I’d totally come visit!) Have fun in Columbia, MD — times sure have changed since I moved away in 1996– a TJs now? Sweet!
Erica Caterina says
Hi Kath! I am in Timonium, always wanted to check out the GH in Columbia. . .need bread for French Toast. When will you be there?
KathEats says
All day tomorrow and probably Thurs and some of Friday. But come tomorrow if you can!
[email protected] says
Those egg yolks look deliciously poppable!
HVL says
YES! LORD OF THE RINGS REFERENCE! 😀 (sorry for caps, was a must to show my appreciation!).
Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew?
Stephanie says
Oh wow, you’re a genius! My toolbar was always so full, now it looks all nice and clean. Thank you!!!
tyler says
Hey, I live in Columbia, MD! I didn’t even know there was a GH there. I hope you enjoy your trip!
Pam A. says
This meal was amazing! My 3 year old devoured it, and it was so light and refreshing! Thank you!
