I’d rather wake up to coffee cake…
I just got an email from a very popular cooking show saying, “Wake up to coffee cake, apple fritters, etc.” and I realized… it’s all about choice.
I’ll be perfectly honest with you. I’d love to wake up to coffee cake and apple fritters, but then I would be depressed, most likely overweight and dealing with a host of oncoming chronic illnesses that would plague me now and in the coming years.
If coffee cake and fritters aren’t on the breakfast menu, what is? Delicious food, that’s what! I’ve had a number of clients ask me to come clean about what I actually eat to stay healthy and to lose my chronic depression, so I’ll be sharing some of my creations with you over the coming weeks and months. I’ll do that here, on my blog at http://ThinStrongHealthy.com and on my TV show you can watch on WestfordCat.
Today I want to talk about breakfast. As our moms told us, it’s the most important meal of the day, and here’s an idea for a quick delicious breakfast that will add some variety to the start of your day.
I’m a big fan of cooking more than I need for one meal so I can use it again for breakfast or lunch and sometimes again for a dinner creation. This includes roasted vegetables in the oven, wild rice and black rice among other foods. Today’s breakfast, a quick frittata, included left over wild rice which I cooked last night in vegetable broth and white wine with sea salt, pepper, onion flakes and garlic powder.
To make the frittata…In a cast iron skillet with some olive oil, add some cooked wild rice and heat that up. Then add chopped organic spinach and let that wilt down for a minute. (This recipe is for two people and is cooked in a medium sized skillet.) To that add one organic egg whisked with one-quarter cup of unsweetened almond milk and my secret ingredient, a little bit of nutmeg. Nutmeg gives eggs amazing flavor. Turn the heat to low and cover for about 5 minutes.
That’s it. You can fold it over or just cut it into wedges. Served with some avocado and cut up fresh fruit, it’s a great easy way to enjoy a breakfast that will stay with you.
I showed you exactly how to make it in a video on my latest post at http://thinstronghealthy.com/quick-breakfast-frittata/ so please check it out.
It really is good. It will stay with you longer than the coffee cake and fritters and will support your longer term health, too. Remember it’s all about choice, and I want to help you choose to be well.
