My Breakfast
Eggs with smoothies after workout.
I have been in the mood for Thai omelet’s this week. I heat up my 12 inch cast iron fry pan and throw in a bit of coconut oil, then whip up 3 eggs and pour them into the hot skillet. Pop any bubbles and add salt and pepper. Adding 1 tsp. of fish sauce before cooking is a yummy way to change it up. I eat them with hot sauce and usually some kind of leftover vegetable or I cook my vegetable of choice in the pan first and then take it out while I cook the omelet. On Saturday I had more time so I cooked up some chopped sweet onion and the stems of red chard I had left from a different recipe. It was worth the little extra effort.
