Anybody Hungry?

Here recently, I made a decision to stop eating chicken, beef, pork and turkey. The only meat I now eat is that which comes from the water...fish, shrimp, oysters, crab, etc.

I did this about a year ago and it lasted for three months or so. Thought I'd give it another go and see if I can last twice as long (hopefully longer).

One thing's for sure...my new eating habits have caused be to be more conscientious about my meals. They truly take some forethought now.

For example, this morning I woke up and was ready for breakfast. In the past, I would simply fry up some bacon, scramble some eggs, and be good to go. Well...now that bacon is out of the picture I had to find a new companion for my eggs. I couldn't come up with anything. At least nothing that I had here at home.

Going forward I will be sure to stock up on veggies, like onion, bellpepper, maybe some mushrooms and cheese, so that I can make a nice veggie omelette.

As for today though, I was hungry and needed something that was simple, tasty, and fit within my new dietary guidelines.

I found it.

FISH...and veggies.

Yep.

I sauteed a piece of cod, threw in some frozen veggies (carrots, pearl onions, red bellpepper) and VOILA...breakfast was served.

Having an unconventional breakfast such as that one brought back memories of when I was a child and my parents would sometimes make "breakfast" for dinner. Yep...it would be 6:00 pm and we'd be chowing down on pancakes and bacon. As an adult, that has been one of my FAVORITE dinners (although I do waffles instead of pancakes).

Anywhoo...it got me to thinking. What are the "rules" for breakfast. Or are there any "rules" at all? When you get right down to it, breakfast is simply "breaking one's fast" as in..."You haven't eaten all night, so now you're hungry. EAT!" That's all that it is...really. What that first meal actually consists of shouldn't really matter. Should it?

How 'bout you?

It's 10:28 am in my part of the world so "breakfast" is still being served.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you had breakfast yet? If so, what'd ya eat?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
