The bestest breakfast ever

I start work at 7 am (yes I know, it's horrendous). At 11 am we break for lunch and somewhere in between we have a coffee break. Now, I'm not a fan of having breakfast while I still have sleepies in my eyes so I prefer to have it at our first coffee break. (I do have a large cup of coffee with cream the first thing in the morning though.) The "problem" with this breakfast is that at 11, I'm still satisfied. A very gratifying problem of course since this means I'm not one of those people whose stomachs (and mouths) start to growl exactly a half an hour before lunch break. Or even an hour after lunch break. Therefore, this has to be the bestest breakfast ever. 

And take note of this, I make this in the morning and I get up about an hour before I go to work and I still have time to shower, choose outfit, get dressed and dolled up. It is that quick! I guess it takes 10 to 15 minutes for me to make, and then I often have to wash the pan and clean the counter before starting. So, if you are even the slightest more organized than I am, you could make this in 5 to 10 minutes. Lovely, isn't it?

Oh. Did I tell you it tastes like heaven with a cherry on top? It really does. And also it's a perfect picnic food, just wrap it up in some foil and bring it with you to eat on some lawn, on the go or whereever!

Omelette wrap filled with heavenly goodies

One serving

2 organic eggs (yes, nothing less than organic will do)

a dash of cream

cheese

butter 

Whisk it together quickly and pour it in a medium to high pre-heated pan with some butter. Fry, and when the top is dry, put slices of cheese on it (or grated). When the cheese has melted, the wrap is done. Put it on a platter or on some foil.

Now, you fill it with all the good stuff. You can use your favourite toppings or what you have in your fridge for the moment. I really do recommend though, that you always use cream cheese.

The filling (what I refer to as heavenly goodies)

Cream cheese

Greens (ruccola, baby spinache or by choice)

Cherry tomatoes

Avocado

Meat of choice (I often use italian salami or some other thinly sliced sausage)

Smear cream cheese all over the omelette and top it with the veggies and meat. Wrap it up or fold and put it in a container. Done!

See, it's that easy! And good. Heavenly good. And you surely will get jealous gazes from your collegues.

Gött!

Herbaliscious bacon in a creamy sauce and steamed vegetables

Tonight I worked up my appetite by running around in the woods with my heart in my mouth, clinging to a lifesaving flashlight... In the Xbox game Alan Wake that is. (No, I haven't finished it yet and yes, I've had the game for about a year. I save my games for rainy days! Well... right now the sky is blue and the sun is shining but moving on..!)

Since I had the last of the Zucchini au gratin for lunch (From my second batch. Yes it was that good. I had to make another batch immediately after that I finished the first one. And while we are still on the subject, rumor has it that The Poor One developed the dish further. Something with cauliflower and pork he said. Well at least there were cream and cream cheese present, but I'm not certain, I'm still waiting for an entry.. (trying for the longest parentheses ever? Yep, possibly! Do you even remember how the sentence started? 'Cause here comes the rest! (Yeah, you'd better just read the beginning again and skip the parentheses', I'll write a mark so that you easier can see where the sentence continues. Oh, and according to wikipedia, overuse of parentheses is usually a sign of a badly structured text! How did they know that "badly structured" is my middle name!?) ) "MARK" I examined my fridge and decided to use bacon and some veggies to make my dinner. The outcome was, as the title says, a herbaliscious creamy bacon with steamed vegetables. Easy peasy, of course. Here it comes!

Herbaliscious bacon in creamy sauce
3-4 servings

200 grams of bacon
100 grams of cream cheese (garlic and herbs, but plain will do with adding some garlic)
300 ml of cream (full fat people, always full fat!)
10 cherry tomatoes
Fresh or frozen herbs (oregano, basil, rosemary and thyme (almost going to Scarborough fair?))

Fry the bacon into a crispy state. Put it on a platter. Pour the cream and the cream cheese into the pan put to boil. Add the bacon, the herbs and the cherry tomatoes in pieces. Let it simmer for a few minutes. Done!

Serve with steamed vegetables, chicken or whatever you have in the fridge. I used cauliflower and white cabbage. And folks, always steam your veggies instead of boiling them. This preserves all the healthy goodness for your body to enjoy.

Do I have to mention that it was:

Gött!

Also, earlier this week I made a coconut-lime ice cream. Perhaps another day you will get the pleasure to read all about that culinary adventure.
