Salad for breakfast & the soft boiled egg.

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

I wanted to make a salad with our breakfast so I just decided to make our breakfast a salad. I looked for ideas on the interwebs and found one with cinnamon toast croutons, sold.

Cut up some bread and toss with some melted butter, sugar and cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees until crunchy. Make a simple vinaigrette using 1 T. apple cider vinegar, 1 T. real maple syrup and a few T. olive oil and you’re pretty much set. Add some crispy bacon, walnuts and whatever you like and top it off with a soft boiled egg.

This was my first attempt at soft boiled eggs and they were awesome. Bring water to a boil, carefully add eggs and boil for about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and cool or eat right away. I’m addicted.

No crust quiche.

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

I love basic recipes/formulas that have a million possibilities and this no crust quiche is one of them. The no crust part makes it a low calorie yet high protein breakfast (whole pie: 830 cal. 55 g. protein). Since there are three of us I divided it into six portions so we could have it again for breakfast tomorrow. Cutting it into sixths, each serving is almost 10 whopping grams protein and only about 140 calories. Come on man, that’s just awesome! J and Z both loved how these turned out, J actually said it was cooked perfectly. We easily could have eaten the whole thing, and still would have been under 300 calories with 20 grams of protein each, sorry but I love doing the math on this one because it always comes out a win.

Pa boy sandwich with homemade mayonnaise.

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

A couple of quick stories. First the Pa Boy, it’s named after a sandwich Pa made when he was in town a couple months ago (no shrimp, just kinda clever). When we went to Trader Joe’s he was “allowed” to pick out some items of his own. The things he grabbed were deli meat and these awesome little artisan rolls (and an apple pie). When we got back home Pa made up some sandwiches, Z ate ‘em up like crazy. We’ve been getting these rolls for sandwiches “like when Pa was here” ever since. A simple sandwich consisting of sliced deli meat, tomatoes and mayonnaise, add whatever you like but keeping it simple is best here. We mmmm with every bite of these. Thank you for dropping these little babies in da basket Pa.
