Brighten Your Day – Start With A Bite Of Breakfast

Breakfast – a somewhat controversial meal – to eat it or skip it? Health experts and enthusiasts recommend eating breakfast – advising that our bodies need some nourishment to start our day.

Even on the busiest of days, I make an effort to have something for breakfast. But then, those of you who know me, know I love food, so it’s not a big effort. 😉

Need a quick breakfast?  Here are a few suggestions. These recipes are written for one serving, however,  can easily be adjusted for a family. 

One of my favorites –  Sicilian Ricotta Toast. I first experienced this delicious breakfast treat in Taormina, Sicily. I was told that this is a popular breakfast in the area. Orange honey is favored there I’m thinking because of the abundance of citrus available. It was so yummy!

Picture below is my contribution to morning coffee with girlfriends.

Egg White Fry – Yes, egg whites! If you are trying to avoid eating too many whole eggs, this is a flavorful, quick, and healthy breakfast. We have variations of this dish about once a week, using up small amounts of vegetables and meat from other meals. This day we had sausage and spinach to use with our egg whites.
