Healthy Breakfasts

My next favorite is this recipe for chive scrambled eggs.  Its so easy and can be paired with leftover steak and avocado like I had, or just on its own.  It is super flavorful unlike some recipes for scrambled eggs.  I actually used to HATE scrambled eggs, but now I could eat these every week.

Chive Scrambled Eggs

5 eggs

onion powder

garlic powder

salt

pepper

chopped chives

(this is enough for 2 very hungry people)

Whip up your eggs and spices to your taste in a bowl first then cook over medium heat in a pan with either a top of butter, or a tiny bit of coconut oil.  Stir slowly constantly until the eggs are cooked completely and aren't slimy looking anymore.  No one wants to eat slimy eggs.  Sprinkle some chives on top so they look pretty :)

The third healthy breakfast that I love to eat is coconut milk yogurt with berries and a drizzle of honey.  This isn't only because I love honey, its part of it, but it is also a very delicious and lighter breakfast for those days that you need something that will be extra nutritious but won't weigh you down.  I used So Delicious brand Plain coconut milk, this doesn't have flavoring or extra sugar.  I also used strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries and my family bee's honey.  

So GOOD!  I hope you enjoy making these as much as I do, but most of all, enjoy eating them!

Caramelized Peach Steel Cut Oats

Sooooo it's officially FALL! My favorite season by far.  I love the feel in the air, the colors, the warm spices, that crisp smell you get when you go outside, and of course the food!  It's time for apples, pumpkins, soups, and hearty "stick to your ribs" kind of food.  First things first, a hearty breakfast!  Now, I am definitely all for a good bacon and egg breakfast any given day, as I am apparently a "bacon fiend" according to my boyfriend, (but who isn't?)  but steel cut oats is one of my FAVORITE cold weather breakfasts.  This breakfast recipe is super simple, and also incredibly delicious.  

Caramelized Steel Cut Oats

steel cut oats

1 large peach (two for two portions)

cinnamon

1 tbs coconut oil or butter

a drizzle of honey

a dash salt

Either put a tablespoon of butter or coconut oil in a frying pan if you can't tolerate the butter.  Toss the pieces of peach into the pan and sautée them over medium heat until they are soft.  Sprinkle a little dusting of cinnamon over the top, a tiny bit of salt and about a teaspoon of honey.   Let all of this get warm and mixed together in the pan, then poor on top of the oats that you have cooked according to the package.  To top this yummy warm breakfast, you can drizzle a little extra honey like I did, or maple syrup is super yummy as well.

I hope you love it!!!! Next to come, my amazing apple crisp and other great fall foods to keep you warm inside and out, body and soul :)

kept be full for hours!!!!!

Sunday Frittata

What's better than a lazy Sunday morning?  I can't really think of anything... Sleeping in, lazing around in pajamas, yummy breakfast, cup of tea, some good tv...sounds perfect.  Yesterday Michael and I did just that and I made a super easy and delicious frittata to make our Sunday breakfast a little more special than what we normally do. 

It was very quick and an absolutely delicious breakfast for two :) 

Vegetable Frittata

5 eggs

1 tbs water

half a zucchini

half onion

sliced mushrooms

1 red bell pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

salt and pepper to taste

2 tsp of oil or a couple tbs of butter

First chop and sauté all of your vegetables in a small cast iron skillet with either 2 tbsp of butter or a splash of coconut or olive oil.  Whatever you want to use will work.  I used butter because it doesn't bother my allergies when I only use a little bit, and it tastes sooooo good.  So sauté all of the vegetables on medium/high heat until they are cooked thoroughly and no longer crunchy.  The amount of vegetables should look like it's almost too much, they will cook down and this will create a really nice full frittata.  

Once the vegetables are cooked, pour in your eggs that have been whipped up with the water and dry spices.  You should whip them up until they look frothy.  This will help create a nice airy frittata.  Once the eggs are in the pan with your vegetables, throw the entire skillet into a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are no longer watery looking, and voila! Super easy, and incredibly delicious Sunday breakfast :)
