Hands down I would say that dinner is my favorite meal of the day, but when I wake up in the morning, especially if I’m starting my day with a work-out, I really want a good breakfast.  I enjoy French Toast, love pancakes, and won’t say no to an Everything bagel. However, bacon and eggs is my go-to sunrise meal.  

Mmmmm, bacon.  Love it. So bad for you, which is why it tastes so good.  I’ve tried various turkey bacons, the closest one to the real deal being a Trader Joe’s offering. Sometimes, though, you just need the real thing.  Thick, center cut bacon. Microwaved. Broiled. Pan fried.  Whatever.  Just put it on my plate and stand back. 

Eggs are definitely a super food.  Hard boiled, poached, scrambled, fried.  Versatile and tasty, just like. . never mind! I learned to make scrambled eggs as a kid.  I’d crack some eggs, stir them up, pour them in the pan, scramble with a fork and be done.  My technique has evolved over time. Now, I add a splash of milk for extra fluffiness while I mix the yolks.  A dash of parsley flakes.  Some salt and pepper.  And the key! The key is to use a whisk to scramble them up after they’ve set for a while.  I watched DH make breakfast one day and when he broke out the whisk, I thought, “What the what? So that’s how he makes his eggs!”  Yum.

Oh, and look at this!

Bacon and Egg Cups!  I’m doing jazz hands over here!

I want to have a brunch just so I can do this.
