Eggs Your Way

My favorite meal of the day is breakfast.  I cook eggs different ways for breakfast just about every day and never get sick of it.  It's quick, easy and delicious.  Most of my friends throughout college and even into mid 20's still cook breakfast for dinner.  There will be a whole section of the book dedicated to breakfast because of this.  I'm sure everyone knows how to scramble eggs, but here's one of my favorite morning meals.

BAJA SCRAMBLE

INGREDIENTS

2 Eggs
Fresh Salsa
1/2 Hass Avocado
Freshly Chopped Cilantro
1/4th Chopped Sweet Onion
2 Tblspoons Olive Oil

MAKING THE MEAL

Use a small sauté pan.  Line it with olive oil and over medium heat add your onions.  While that cooks about 2 minutes, crack open your eggs and whip them up in a small bowl.  Once the onions are translucent, add your eggs and cilantro.  Cook another two minutes or so until eggs are fluffy.

Serve on a small dish topped with the sliced avocado and salsa.  Makes for a colorful, nutritious meal.

ENJOY!

Say Yes to the BACON BLOODY

   

Ok so I'm totally stealing the bacon idea from a restaurant I went to recently, but DAMN... best idea ever.  What is it?  BACON IN YOUR BLOODY INSTEAD OF SALT AROUND THE RIM!!!
Duh, why didn't we think of that years ago?!  Maybe we did and I'm just now discovering it.  My world has changed.  Helloooooo Bacon Bloody Mary.  Damn, Gina.

I already had a good bloody concoction, but this just made it epic.  You taste a hint of bacon in every sip.  If you're a fat kid on the inside or out, this drink is for you.  Try it next Sunday when you feel like getting a jump start on your day.

BACON BLOODY

Ingredients:

Spicy bloody mary mix 
1/2 lemon- freshly squeezed juice
Freshly cracked pepper
Dash of Worcester sauce
squirt of Sriracha
Dash of sea salt

1 stick celery


Don't be afraid to drink this at night.  Still delicious.  Happy Labor Day Weekend!
