bacon, fried eggs, rice, and a bowl of chicken cabbage salsa type soup which was soooo yummy!
Pot cheese and chives tastes pretty good.I was a VERY good girl today. Had a cup of coffee & a slice of whole-grain toast with some cottage cheese spread on top. Believe it or not, I actually like this type of quick breakfast - especially on warm-weather mornings. Of course, it does help if you like cottage cheese. . . .
I've had a taste for eggs Benedict for months. Thought I'd get it at an Easter brunch, but my friends wanted to go at 1 p.m. (What part of brunch do they not get? You know, that meal that is between breakfast and lunch? 1 p.m. reservations mean eating at 2 and I call that dinner, not brunch). I was going to do it myself, but can't face the thought of learning to make hollandaise (never done it, doubt I ever will). Then I thought of mixing some aioli (pre-made, in a jar, but way too garlicky for this application) with some good mayo as a sub. Poached eggs, steamed asparagus, toasted English muffins, layered with some proscuito we had hanging around the fridge from a previous meal, et voila!! Not as good as at a really good restaurant, but enough to hit that spot on my taste-buds!
Claire, the next time you're at the store, pick up an envelope of Hollandaise Mix........you can have eggs Benedict any ole time. I know I'll get some rolly eyes from some here, but I think it's pretty durn good!
