Subject: Keeping breakfast healthy and interesting . . .
There is an old saying, regarding eating and staying healthy- “At breakfast, eat like a king”- “At dinner/lunch, eat like a Prince”- “At Supper, eat like a pauper.” i do the breakfast King thing, lunch is neither here no there and probably eat too much for supper.
I do so look forward to breakfast. Here what I generally do for breakfast. A sandwich (with my own baked bread) – Toasted with a layer of fresh spinach , two slices of sweet onion- A scrambled egg- The egg always enhanced someway: With either chopped mushrooms, shredded cheese, fried okra or something exotic. Always a fresh cooked vegetable- Turnip, mustard or collard greens. Or black eyed peas, green beans, Brussel sprouts or broccoli. A side order of stewed tomatoes topped with Mung bean sprouts. Fresh brewed black coffee. Second course is banana and walnuts. Or blueberries and walnuts.
Seem like a lot to swallow? A lot to remember? This morning, it was to be a cheese omelet sandwich, Broccoli. As I ate, I thought to myself- how good this is! The spinach and sweet onion were so crunchy and tasty. When I finished, got up to put my plate in the sink, I noticed the omelet I had cooked (and thought I had enjoyed) was still in the frying pan. More than eggs can be scrambled . . . I’m just saying-
