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.
