Breakfast These Days

Switching it up today with just a recipe :)

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to "eat more veggies." I've tapered off some since January, but I absolutely eat more veggies than I did this time last year. Mainly I make sure to incorporate a couple of servings into breakfast, either by making an omelette, or the following.

I'm not really sure why I'm posting this or calling it a "recipe," because 1) it's ridiculously simple, and 2) most people probably won't even like it XD But here goes.

Hardish Boiled Eggs on Toast and Zucchini and Spinach Stir-Fry
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices of toast (I use Nature's Own Sugar Free Whole Grain)
- 1 cup sliced zucchini
- handful of spinach
- butter to grease a pan
- salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes

For those of you just wanting the recipe, you really don't need it. You assemble this exactly the way you'd expect. Now, if you want to keep reading, brace yourself for the anecdotal story of how I make it. *evil laughter*

(Fun fact: This year, I discovered that I like hardboiled eggs not boiled for approximately half a century.)

The magic choreography of this breakfast goes as follows.

Return from the gym. Hang up keys, put away shoes, plug in bluetooth earbuds to charge because God forbid they not be fully charged when I need them.

Put two eggs in a pot of water on the stove and turn the burner on.

Put two slices of bread in the toaster oven, but don't turn it on.

Unload the dishwasher, leaving out a plate, a fork, a sharp knife, and the cutting board.

Get out the tiny frying pan and put it on a burner.

Using the left out fork like a barbarian, slice off some butter and put it in the pan.

Slice zucchini. Put it in the pan. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Top with a handful of spinach.

When the egg water is juuuuust about to boil, say "Hey Siri. Set a timer for four minutes."

Thank her when she gets it going.

Turn the zucchini-and-spinach burner on. Nudge the stir-fry around and watch in fascination as the spinach shrivels before your eyes.

Turn the toaster oven on.

When the egg timer goes off, the stir-fry is probably done. Take it off the burner if it is. Leave it and continue to poke if it isn't. But definitely...

Move the egg pot to the sink and run cold water over the eggs for a minute or so.

Peel the eggs. Pray you get ones with the shells that slide right off rather than the ones that cling to the whites and leave you with a mutilated 2/3 of egg left.

Toast is done.

Plate toast.

Plate stir fry.

Place one egg on each toast and chop with a fork.

Season egg toast with salt and pepper.

Eat while doing a Wife of God devotional ;)
