Breakfast Creations

Where have I been? Well, after class on Thursday we had to make dog food, so we had leftover chili. Just as good the second time and there is more in the freezer. The next day was Jim’s doctor appointment and we went out to lunch after. The Roadhouse in Manassas has completely changed their menu and there is nothing there that is good for you. They are now off our list as places to eat lunch. We then spent hours picking out a pot for our plant. We were still so full from lunch we did not have dinner.
This morning however, I was in a creative mood. I made a wonderful smoothie out of what I could find in the fridge.
Ingredients:
1 banana
1 pear
1 C apple juice
¼ C POM juice
5 ice cubes
Directions:
Place all in a blender and blend on high until smooth.
Jim pronounced it delicious.
I like eggs with green stuff. You can imagine how well this goes over here, but he liked it.
Ingredients:
Pancetta, I had a ¼” thick piece that I cut in tiny squares
2 slices Colby Jack cheese
1 Wolfermann muffin split
Arugula, about a handful
2 eggs
Directions:
1. Split the muffin and toast in the toaster.
2. Put the pancetta in a skillet and cook it to slightly crisp and rendering all the fat. Drain on a paper towel.
3. Put each muffin on a plate, top with arugula and sprinkle the pancetta in the arugula. Put a slice of cheese on top of each and place in the microwave for 30 seconds.
4. Meanwhile fry over easy 2 eggs and place on top of the cheese. You could also poach the eggs.
I would call this our brunch this AM as we finished before noon, barely.
