This morning my husband ad I had very different ideas about what sounded good in our breakfast scrambles, so I decided to make two.
Mine, the one on the left, was featured egg whites, mushrooms, onions, ham and green peppers with Laughing Cow French Onion cream cheese melted in. My husband’s scramble is made with whole eggs, onion, green pepper, broccoli, ham and cheddar.
As usual, I sauté the vegetables separately to get the most flavor and spice the eggs with white pepper and Penzey’s Parisien Herbs. Multigrain toast with some Stover’s Cranberry/Raspberry Jam from the Oak Park Farmer’s Market rounded out my meal; his is spread with McCutcheon’s Pear Butter.
Add some carrot-banana nectar for him and some orange-pineapple juice for me in our new Star Trek glasses from Burger King and it was an awesome breakfast. Nothing terribly exciting, but maybe you’ll get some ideas for your breakfast.
All my cakes come from boxes. My spaghetti sauce isn't from scratch, and I think making my own pasta and bread (unless it comes from a mix…) is rarely worth the effort. I believe individually frozen chicken breasts and ready-made pie crusts are among the best inventions ever. Through these menus, recipes, tips and recommendations, I hope to show that the options for creative cooking are limitless, even when time and money are not.
