As you may recall from an earlier post of mine, veggies on this island are incredibly expensive. However, I still need to integrate vegetables into my diet as much as possible, as training is leaving me hungry 24/7 despite the fact that I am getting plenty of proteins (you know it is taking every ounce of effort to NOT turn this into a crossfit blog).
Below is this morning's breakfast--an omelet complete with garlic, mushrooms, spinach, a bit of tomato, and onions. How can I add more vegetables to breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack...?
And family, don't worry. This is in addition to my juice plus ;)
Brunch Tomatoes -
ReplyDeleteCut a pound or so of tomatoes into quarters (I like romas for this, but any will work). Toss them with some chopped garlic (1-3 cloves), a tablespoon of dried herbs (I like Italian, but oregano, parsley, or basil will work) and a tablespoon or two of olive oil.
Spread the spiced tomatoes into a baking dish and bake for 40 minutes at 400F (200C or Gas6 in UK).
You can eat it like this, or...
Clear a little space between the tomatoes and crack an egg (or 2 if you want) into the gap. Put it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes. The eggs poach to deliciousness.
Great with salad and toast.
