Sometimes, food is just so simple it seems silly to write a recipe. And writing recipes is torture for me. Just like following them. I do not like to measure, weigh, time... or really, pay close attention to a list of (rules) directions.
And because of my free spirit (strong will/laziness/independence) in the kitchen, I've seen more than several recipes flop (or in my mind, just turn out different than expected- I can work with that).
So I scratched my head and raised an eyebrow at the thought of writing a recipe for this breakfast creation. Who needs a recipe telling them how to put a bunch of their favorite stuff on a piece of toast and eat it for breakfast?
Not me, said the one who hates deadlines, timelines, schedules, and lists.
I keep it all in my mind. And it works just fine.
BUT if it's all trapped in my mind, you wouldn't get to know about this deliciousness!
Ah-ha moment!
Maybe THAT's a reason to write recipes.
Not to tell you (unless you want)
exactly-what-to-do-because-you-can't-figure-it-out-yourself,
but to provide inspiration and guidance! I like those things :).
So please be inspired by this fresh, healthy, creative breakfast offering- you can even break the rules and eat it for lunch!
