From My Kitchen: Mostly the same with a few new items.



This morning's breakfast or what I call "my pile of veggies" is basically the usual veggies I normally post pictures of. However, this pile of veggies are a bit different than my regular showing. Here is a list of what I had on my plate this morning.

1 cup steamed kale
1 cup steamed red chard
1 cup steamed sweet potato
2 link of Applegate chicken sage sausage
1 1/2 slices of white onion (chopped) 
10 black olives (sliced by me) 
2 tbs nutritional yeast

The one ingredient that I didn't list up above is the difference maker. That ingredient is actually a mixture of half an avocado, two tablespoons of lemon juice, and salt & pepper to taste. Basically a simple guacamole when those ingredients are mixed together. The avocado is a normal addition to my pile of veggies for breakfast. In fact I get annoyed when I don't have any avocado to add to my breakfast. The biggest difference I tasted when adding this avocado mixture to my breakfast this morning was that the tanginess of the lemon juice was a nice addition. I will have to do this again very soon. 

The other new addition to my breakfast is the plate that my pile of veggies is sitting on. I took a trip to Ikea recently and for the first time I bought my own set of dishes. When I decided to finally get a new set of dishes I was sure that I was probably going to get a dish set in some shade of blue. Because I was usually drawn more to the blue sets I had seen when window shopping for dishes over the years. Even at Ikea I was torn between the blue set and the green set of dishes they had. I thought to myself you always go blue so let's change it up. I have had a few meals now on the green plates and I have to say I think I made the right choice. At first I thought that since I eat a lot of green food already that having green on the plate too would wash those beautiful greens out. So far it hasn't. 

It's the little things in life that can really help keep things fresh. 

From my kitchen with love and pure D-lite. = )
