july 23, 2012 breakfast

a similar frittata to last week's, but with sliced chicken andouille sausage from trader joe's instead of bacon, plus a good deal of fresh basil. a nice addition to the standard crowd pleasers of oven-roasted broccoli, spinach, roasted red pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, etc. both the sausage and the cholula lend it a nice wake-up kick.

july 13, 2012 dinner

breakfast for dinner! friends from portland came up, and had already eaten, so i threw together a quick scramble of eggs, bacon, asparagus, tomatoes, basil, and garlic. it was a warm evening, so i opened the balcony door and ate sitting cross-legged on the floor, catching up.

july 8, 2012 breakfast

we paddled in coldwater lake for an hour or so sunday morning. this lake did not exist until the volcano erupted and mudflows dammed the valley. also, the water is not actually that cold.

a no-cook breakfast on the way out of hard boiled eggs, half an avocado, salt, pepper and cholula.

july 1, 2012 breakfast

crabbing season opens today, and as we were packing up, the campground was filling up with people rolling in with boats and crab pots, or just settling down for the fourth of july fireworks show in a few days. i whipped up a quick scramble of eggs, bacon, broccoli, mushrooms, orange bell pepper, onion, garlic and scallions. farewell to our favorite campsite here at sequim bay, 81. it is small, and doesn't have the most privacy, but the views out to sequim bay and north to dungeness bay and dungeness spit, with its lighthouse, and cargo ships passing through the strait of juan de fuca beyond that.. well, it is always too soon to leave.

june 30, 2012 breakfast

after a refreshing night's sleep (sleeping to the sound of rain is so relaxing), we rose and cooked breakfast. i didn't have a plan, but we'd packed just about every vegetable in our fridge (hence my friday meal challenge!), so i made an omelet filling of bacon, onions, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms, and somehow managed to cram it into a three-egg omelet cooked in grass-fed butter. oh yeah, and i mashed up some avocado and spread some of that inside as well. i sprinkled plenty of green onions on top.. and then realized i'd forgotten to add the garlic i'd minced. oh well, i'm sure we'll use it tonight!

june 27, 2012 breakfast

wednesday breakfast is a slice of green eggs and turkey frittata, crammed to the gills with various veggies, as well as some leftover kohlrabi and beet salad (dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro and walnuts). the salad sounds and looks a little weird, but it totally rocks my socks! maybe i'll pack some for our zoo concert picnic tonight..

june 25, 2012 breakfast

i tried a new recipe (green eggs and turkey from the cookbook paleo comfort foods) for breakfast - a frittata with turkey sausage, broccoli, artichoke hearts, sundried toms, a couple of walla walla sweet onions, spinach and eggs, seasoned with salt, pepper, fresh basil and paprika. a splash or six of cholula and i'm off!

june 22, 2012 breakfast

friday morning breakfast was eaten kinda late, because i tried to kill my dracaena. well, not on purpose, but i managed to knock it off a tall cabinet in my office. it sheared off two tops when it landed, and scattered dirt everywhere. oh well, at least i got to use the industrial vacuum, which just makes me want one of those for home. anyhoo, i am attempting to rescue the tops by floating them in water. perhaps they'll start new roots, perhaps not. the stumps left behind may well branch into new growth, so that's another exciting possibility.

attempting some dracaena healing

feeling a bit melancholy about the plant massacre, i dig into a cheerfully odd breakfast of rainier cherries, toasted sesame seaweed, and a rough mash of two hard-boiled eggs and half an avocado, topped with cholula. actually pretty good!

june 21, 2012 breakfast

matt picked up some rainier cherries (just coming into season - so tart and sweet and good!) at the renton farmer's market for a song, so i decorated my plate of egg loaf with them this morning.

june 9, 2012 breakfast

saturday morning scramble of eggs, ham, zucchini, red bell pepper, tomato, onions, green onions, and garlic, topped with avocado and cholula. i like to scramble the eggs separately after all the veggies have finished cooking, then add them back in. i used to just do everything together, but then the egg tended to get lost, just turning into a kind of soggy, eggy coating for the veggies. eggs are deceptively easy to screw up!

june 2, 2012 breakfast

i admit, i started to dig into this, and then realized i was supposed to document it. this is saturday morning camping breakfast, south whidbey state park. breakfast is a hash with butternut squash, bacon, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, moroccan spice mix, salt, pepper, etc. topped with eggs over medium and half an avocado. oh yeah, and the requisite cholula dunk tank. 

may 31, 2012 breakfast

today's breakfast is just a little more gussied up than yesterday's. i had an avocado that was on its way out, so i took it to work with me. it turned out to be perfect, so half of it topped my standard egg loaf. add cholula and chow down!

may 30, 2012 breakfast

breakfast at work: egg loaf w/ nitrate-free bacon, zucchini, spinach, roasted red peppers, green onions, garlic, spices (basically the egg cupcakes from everyday paleo except done in a casserole instead of muffin tins - easier to clean) generouly doused with cholula.

susuwatari (soot sprite) looks on tentatively.
