My Favourite Breakfast


Ok hosers, it has been too long, and my face reddens in e-embarrassment when I see the date of the last post, so here is a short and sweet one about the breakfast I try to eat everyday. It's filling, healthy and contains vegetables, therefore giving the green light to a guilt-free dinner of chocolate cake and yam fries (just kidding...well not really).


Egg scramble proceeds like so:

Saute in virgin organic coconut oil or oilve oil: yams, purple potatoes, onions
When browned add in: shredded kale leaves and/or buds (or spinach or chard), green beans and cilantro
Pour in egg whites (egg yolks make me hurl, I attribute it to repressed childhood memories involving the enforced eating of eggs sunny side up....but if you don't have this reaction, by all means do partake in the real thing)
Season with: Sea salt (the grey kind is so good) and fresh pepper. Herbs de Provence is really nice too.
Scramble until you can't scramble no more and then grate some extra old cheddar on top.

I love to eat this with double toasted german rye bread (the really thin dark stuff), fruit slices and homemade jam (see previous post). It takes a bit of extra time in the morning, but its worth it, this baby can carry you through the day if need be.

***Oma's tip for this recipe: Experiment with other ingredients like plantain (so good), arugula, garlic scapes, goat cheese and roasted beets, and you get married now!
