Breakfast Rice Bowl

Well, apparently we're making some new friends up here in New England.


The squirrels are EVERYWHERE.  This one was one my deck!  Lilly is going nuts.

I had a very strange morning.  So strange, in fact, that I didn't eat breakfast!  I know, very out of character.  So when 12:00 rolled around and all I had consumed so far in the day was black coffee, I knew I needed something filled with grains and protein to keep me in check.  I recreated something that I accidentally stumbled upon the other day - and am now convinced that this may very well be the best breakfast/brunch combo I've ever had.


Breakfast Rice Bowl

2 Eggs, scrambled light and fluffy with some milk
2/3 cup of Rice, cooked
2 pieces of Whole Wheat Toast
2 large slices of Sharp Cheddar Cheese


The eggs give you protein ...


The rice gives you starches/grains ...


The toast gives you healthy carbohydrates ...


The cheese gives you dairy/calcium ...


Pair this with a glass of orange juice and - in theory - the only food groups you've missed are vegetables and chocolate.

And you've got the rest of the day to eat those.

Have a great day y'all.

  1. sarah, an awesome variation on this that i like is to add sauteed greens/a little bit of garlic, a fried or poached egg, a little bit of soy sauce and hot oil, all over rice. yummy, filling breakfast with a different set of flavors than the "usual" western breakfast palatte.
