Run Eat Repeat

Broccoli For Breakfast

Breakfast

FacebookTweetPin
9 Aug

Morning! Today I had an 8 miler on the schedule. That’s a lot for a mid-week run, so I planned on taking it slow and easy. I was super slow out and okay back.

8 miles – Average Pace 8:54 IMG_7268

I ate some a lot of watermelon while pacing around the kitchen thinking up breakfast…

I’ve been craving a big ol’ fancy omelet, but since I don’t know how to make them I went with an egg scramble. It worked.IMG_7268 (800x533)

I cooked up onions and broccoli slaw with turkey ham and eggs. That english muffin in the back isn’t burnt – it has cinnamon sugar!IMG_7274 (800x533)

Vegas as a statue…IMG_7280 (533x800)

Question: What’s your favorite form of bread – sliced, pita, english muffins, bagels, tortillas?

Depends on what I’m eating. I love bagels or muffins for breakfast and good rolls with dinner.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Definitely depends on what else I’m eating. I have a thing for whole wheat wraps just plain. And it’s also hard to beat a good doughy english muffin.

      Broc-slaw …. Not sure if I ever had that before. Mostly all slaws are delicious by me!

      Fav = fresh + warm bakery challah! It’s the best ever here in Chicago. Just absolutely loveit. Sometimes they bake rounds of challah w/white raisins. Even better. Especially w/soft (unsalted) real butter! Droolin.

      Monica …. sorta confused these days. Are you mostly veggie? Or did you switch over?

      In recent posts, you mentioned having a few bites of Ben’s hot dog (or polish sausage) from CostCo. Those are beef right? I had the impression you did not eat (large land animals) meat. Especially, beef and pork (ham).

      So, you are okay with these foods now?

      What about lamb and veal?

      Just wondering.

      Always look forward to your entertaining days!

        I used to be vegetarian, but started eating meat again this year. I mostly eat eggs and poultry. I never order red meat myself, but may have a taste of Ben’s when we’re out. For some unknown reason I am not a fan of pork.

        I have never been big on meat. Even before I was a vegetarian, as a child I would order Bean & Cheese burritos from Mexican places and similar things. So, it’s not a big effort for me to stick with poultry and eggs.

        The only meat we had growing up was turkey, chicken, beef and occasionally ham or bacon. But, we never had lamb and I wouldn’t order red meat so I wouldn’t get it now. I think I’ve tasted it out with Ben before just to try it. I don’t like it.

        I never have and never would eat veal.

      I had an 8 miler on my training schedule today too and it was a killer to get through. You run way faster than me! Not sure I can keep up a sub-9 min mile for longer than 7 miles.
      I love bread in all forms, but I think that english muffins are my favorite. I never buy them or I’d eat them all in one sitting.

      I am totally a sandwich thin kinda gal. There’s something about the roundness that makes me think BAGEL, and flatness that makes me feel less carby.

        Oh my gosh I LOVE Udi’s gluten free multigrain bread! It has this delicious buttery flavor…. it tastes even insanely more awesome with mashed avocado.

        You can buy gluten free bread? Who knew? I’m brand new to living GF, having just got a diagnosis that requires it, a few days ago. What other GF products do you recommend?

          Oh heck yeah you can buy just about anything gluten free but you are usually going to pay more for it! Depending on where you live and what stores you have will determine what you can find. Shoot me an e-mail! I would be happy to help ya find some goodies!

      I didn’t realize you have a cat named VEGAS! I LOVE that name!!! (I also love Las Vegas 😉 )

      I adore English muffins and bagels! They both bake great burger buns 🙂 If I had to chose between those two loves I would say bagels…. but not toasted… just totally ‘raw’.. warm and doughy… with butter and honey. Or cream cheese and strawberry jam… or mashed avocado… or peanut butter!

      My favorite form of bread is a load of sourdough. Nothing is better. I can eat it plain, just tearing off chunks.

      It’s hard to pick, but I’d go with something chewy like a bakery bagel or crusty sourdough.

      But, I’m usually eating English Muffins because they are always BOGO at the grocery store.

      Call me boring, but I like basic whole wheat bread (without added preservatives) especially when it’s fresh. It’s so versatile – French toast, sandwiches, grilled cheese, bread crumbs.

      That is a really tough question! I really like any bread product as long as it’s crusty on the outside and doughy in the center! I also love things that have oats or seeds on the outside! Yum.
