Breakfast Recap

Sorry kids! It's been awhile since I've had time to write for my own blog...you know getting paid to write the ImIn.com blog kinda takes a lot of my writing time...Then there's my new obsession with Yelp reviews.. You can check my breakfast section for reviews of tasty and not-so-tasty morning meal eateries. I've been doing a lot of McDonald's breakfast, thanks to Monopoly: Both McMuffins, hashbrowns, and medium drinks are all on the game piece list....So of course I make the occasional breakfast visit.

This morning was pretty rockstar breakfast though. Now that I'm on a limited budget (Oh yeah, I got T-boned by a freaking doe on Monday night...and have a $1000 deductible), I have to spend well...nothing most of the time. So no more McD's for a while...maybe ;-)  So I did an egg scramble with egg whites, red potatoes, horseradish and chive havarti (thanks to-you guessed it- Rick and the Cheese People of Beloit, and called it a meal of JOY.

Another choice meal that I created for the bf and bestie, A last weekend:

Italian Breakfast scramble with canadian bacon, tuscan herb cheese curds (Thanks again Rick!), fresh basil, and topped with a drizzle of the tomato soup I made from scratch with the recipe from Alex's Day Off. I changed a few things (I added fresh basil chiffonade, and used white wine instead of vermouth. We also didn't do the melty cheese because we had grilled cheese and steak sammiches. Yum Yum Yum.)

I promise I'll stay motivated and write more. I will I will.

Breakfast Wrap

Last night, headed to dinner with V. So this morning, I had a bunch of leftover Flat Top food...the girl gave us a ton of roti bread to take home with our entree (apparently, you can take the food home for an extra couple of bucks (like $2.50 more than the unlimited trips price). That's a $2.50 lunch. sweet.

Clearly, I love turning my leftovers into amazing breakfast concoctions. It's one of my favorite ways to get creative with my breakfast. There are very few things that aren't improved upon with cheese or eggs. Very few. By the way, just wait until one day I tell you about my White Castle breakfast scramble. It's a heart attack on your plate but MAN is it good! One day, my friends. One day.

So, for breakfast, I took one of the roti breads, nuked it for 30 seconds with a little bit of water so it doesn't dry out. Then I topped it with my egg scramble. The egg scramble consisted of Mom's homemade giardinara (which by the way is a little like a spicy muffaletta with peppers, olives, celery, carrots, olive oil, and spices), turkey ham and 1 egg. The flavor combination was outstanding. I wrapped the scramble into the roti and ate the delightful breakfast like an Asian-Italian taco (talk about fusion cuisine!)

Overall, it was a really delicious breakfast, and I highly recommend you try something to the likeness of this joyous breakfast combination. More tasty early morning meals to come!

Have a great day, kids!
