Heat Wave

I have been melting in this heat. it has been 90 degrees outside for the past two days, and last night the idea of cooking was about as appealing as dousing myself in hot oil. But as those with significant others who also need to be fed know...the show must go on. I made a stir-fry with our favorite protein, al fresco chicken sausages. They are absolutely delicious and made the hour of even more sweltering heat bearable.

I have been busy studying for my CPA exam, so the blogging has taken a back burner. That plus the fact I seriously have been thinking no one reads this... but I am re-committing to my blog!

So this blog, amid the heat wave is a homage to the lovely boy and my favorite meal of the week...Sunday morning breakfast. It has become a ritual, and is a time I enjoy sitting on the couch, watching moving up on TLC and reading the paper. The perfect way to start a Sunday and reconnect after a crazy week of work/chores.


I am not a carbohydrate fan like some... the magic of toast and pancakes etc. are lost on me, so we do big scrambles with cheese!


The onions and summer squash and zucchini I cook make it more filling and more healthy, at least I think so!


I also always make little fruit cups to accompany. I just use what fruit I have ripe and on hand. Usually peaches or plums, but I do love cold cantaloupe.

Add eggs to vegetables in pan and cook until eggs are done to your liking. Add cheese, and allow to melt. Serve with fruit, toast or whatever you like! Make sure to share with someone you love.
