Breakfast! What a great meal. I frickin' love breakfast!!
It's the best, and most important meal of the day, yet SO MANY OF US SKIP BREAKFAST!
I made myself the tastiest green eggs this morning, and wondered how many people could have done the same!
I use a pesto sauce and mix it into my scrambled eggs, and finish with a touch of cheese. Simple, easier than most breakfasts, and good for you!
I will share with you my pesto sauce, and my quick recipe:
PERFECTO PESTO:
1 Cup of FRESH Basil Leaves (I grow mine in the summer, this ingredient is imperative for pesto)
1-2 Cloves of FRESH Garlic, Smashed and Chopped ( the size is important if they are large cloves use one)
1/4 Cup of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Handful of pine nuts roughly chopped
Salt & Pepper to Taste
Throw all of these ingredients in the food processor and blend up until it is smooth
This will yield about 1/2 cup of pesto - you can double this recipe if you plan on using on pasta!
EGGS:
2 Organic Eggs
Splash of Organic Milk
Pesto (to taste- recipe above)
Fresh Goat Cheese Crumbles for garnish
Whip up your eggs, and splash in some milk to make them fluffy! Add the pesto to the egg mixture and cook in a pan like you normally would cook scrambled eggs! When ready, serve with a few crumbles of goat cheese to give it a rich, creamy texture. If you REALLY love Basil, I suggest throwing a few whole leaves of basil into your egg mixure before cooking, they really have a nice finish, similar to spinach, but a much more robust flavor!
Have some sprouted grain toast on the side!! YUM!
I've lived my life with a "baptism-by-fire" attitude, whether I've tried to or not. Along the way I have found a love for cooking. These days, the time I find for myself is usually while cooking or driving. I would like to share "my moments of zen" with you.

Green Eggs - No Ham!

Instant Loco Moco
Leftovers usually don't get eaten in our house, and I very rarely have anything I can do with them; but reminiscing of our honeymoon, and our trip to a Island-Style cafe in FL with my best friend recently, I thought, boy would it be nice to make the hubby some Loco Moco since he loves it so much! Last night we grilled Bison burgers, and I just so happened to have one leftover. Plus I had a container of leftover Eat-Clean Chicken Ala King with a nice brown gravy! So I cooked an egg, reheated the brown rice and burger in the micro, and re-constituted the Chicken Ala King gravy in a pan with some vegetable stock!!
Put the rice in the bottom of the bowl, topped by the burger, add the gravy and top with the egg, and BAM! We had Loco Moco, and a happy hubby! (And it was low-fat, healthy and full of protien!)
