Power Breakfast!

06/22/18 | Basil, Food

Happy Friday everyone! At last! I’m off to Batavia, NY today for a family reunion, so I’m especially excited for this weekend!

One of the features of our family reunion is a 5K. I was planning on training a a little more intensely than I have been in preparation for this event, but the excitement and distractions of NY impinged slightly on those plans. That
said, I went on a brief run with a friend along the Hudson two days ago, and this morning I got up early to head down to the gym in the basement of my building. The gym isn’t anything fancy, but I got a nice elliptical workout in.

After my active start morning, I was pretty hungry. My farmer’s market kale (only $3!) is still going strong, so I cooked up a little egg stir-fry for myself. I ripped up some kale and sliced a mushroom into a pan, and drizzled a little olive oil over both. I started those stir frying for a minute or so, to let them saute a bit, before adding the egg. I scrambled up the egg, added two fresh basil leaves (torn into little pieces), sprinkled on some garlic salt, and transferred it all to a plate. Delicious, beautiful, and filling! I finished off my breakfast with a few pieces of Endangered Species Hazelnut Toffee Chocolate. Who says chocolate can’t be a breakfast food? 🙂

Hi there!

Looking for me? I am most likely to be found curled up with a good book, working on a puzzle, out on the trails for a run, in a practice room working on scales, in the lab working on my latest research project, in the kitchen concocting some new creation, or any place where there is food with lavender or basil.
