Today's Breakfast

Fresh garden veggies.... great stuff!

So, this morning I fixed veggies sauteed in butter and a hard fried egg fried in the same butter, doctored up after frying, of course.

Sauteed Veggies and Doctored up Fried Egg

1 small to medium sized green tomato
1 small onion
1 medium button mushroom

1 egg
Tomato-Basil Feta Cheese
Sprouts
Salsa  (spicy hot or any type you like) heated in micro-wave until hot.

Salt
Pepper

Slice all the veggies to bite size pieces and saute in melted butter in a skillet. Push over to the side and break an egg into the skillet, break the yolk, and cook until it's done.

Transfer the cooked goodies to your plate making sure the egg lies flat. Now....to doctor up the egg. Sprinkle some of the Feta cheese on one half the egg, add some sprouts, and fold the bare half of the egg to cover. I kinda pressed it down a little bit so it would stay and not flop back open. (STAY egg, STAY! Good egg.) Now, pour the heated salsa over the egg. Salt and pepper all to taste and enjoy!

Hubby pretty much turned up his nose at my breakfast, but then he likes toast for breakfast or waffles or pancakes.

Don't forget the cup of coffee or tea!!  :)

Fresh from the Garden Summertime Cucumber Salad

We tried a garden again down here in the hard clay. It turned out not too badly this time. Although the weeds and grass are slowly taking over now and the deer in the area have now found it. They seem to like the squash leaves, the pepper leaves and the canteloup really well. One of them must not like the actual peppers, found a big bite out of one and the chunck taken out was on the ground along with the pepper. So I cleaned the pepper and our dog, Jackson, got that one. He loves peppers.

So, anyway, we had lotsa cucumbers. They do like to hide beneath those leaves. Salad time...

1 medium cucumber, peeled, sliced lengthwise in quarters, then the quarters sliced.
1/2 onion chopped
1 medium red tomato chopped to small bite size pieces
salt and pepper to taste
dill weed
pomegranite infused red wine vinegar

Mix them all together and taste. Don't make your salad swim in the vinegar, just use enough to coat everything after you stir it all up and then maybe add a little more for good measure. If you need more salt, add it, etc. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before eating. Overnight would be good. Stir to re-mix it all before serving. Hubby liked this pretty well. Happy Chowing Down!!  :)
