Kitchen Shenanigans

First of all, WOW. The response from my last post gave me goose bumps. Multiple times. More “me, too’s,” and lots of support. Thank you.

You may or may not have noticed one of the taglines to this blog is 'kitchen shenanigans,' which I fully intend to live up to. Since I haven't been able to spend much time in the kitchen lately, I thought I would share one of my "concoctions" I ate for breakfast this morning. At work, people are always asking me for breakfast ideas (and lunch ideas and dinner ideas and snack ideas and protein ideas...) and I think people forget, or don't know, how fun it can be to "wing it" in the kitchen. Concocting doesn't always end well, but in this case, it was a very yummy success!

I credit the grocery store handing out samples of cranberry cheddar cheese for this delight. I had a Kashi 7-grain waffle (which always remind me of my time spent at Hilton Head Health) on hand and a waffle with greek yogurt and blueberries didn't appeal to me this morning. Note: I am a breakfast fanatic. I love it. I would eat breakfast food for every meal of the day if I didn't know the value of other proteins and vegetables. I rarely eat the same thing for breakfast two mornings in a row. Anyway, I decided to use the waffle as my "base." I then put a thin layer of Trader Joe's fig butter on the waffle, fried two eggs, and had a little of the cranberry cheddar cheese in the middle. The sweet and salty combo was just right. It was ohsoyummyinmytummy. You could, of course, use a piece of (stone ground) whole wheat toast instead, or go sans bread, but this is a combo worth trying!

What's your favorite "concoction?" (Concoction! I must find a new word to use that doesn't make me giggle...)
