So I am new to the blogging world nd I do not take the best pictures. I can;t say the word “yet” because I am just not sure if I will ever get there. I cook fast. I throw things together in a hurry and then I need to move on the next chaos in my life. So this is really simple. I am not going into a huge recipe here but more of an idea.

I woke up and school was canceled. Even ABA therapy was canceled today and that NEVER happens. It is cold. Like deadly cold for us who live in Texas. I have had the worst cough since quitting smoking 2 weeks ago and was up all night. Any reliefe to my chest will do so what better way than a warm soup first thing in the morning??

Here is what I had in my fridge:

Onions-Cut about half of a small one

Swiss chard-(you can use any greens you have!) Just grapped about a cup.

Bacon-I think I grabbed 5 pieces

Cooked these up together until the bacon was done and drained grease.

Then I added about 3 cups of chicken broth, some garlic, tumeric, ginger, coconut aminos, some oregeno, and a dash of apple cider vinegar. Added the bacon mixture back in. Let it get to simmer and added some eggs seprately and covered. Cooked until the egg whites were done and yolk was starting to cook. We are yolk people!

I served with some Argrula, toasted gluten free bread, and a dash of hot sauce. It was warm. It was simple. It made my cough go away for a bit. It is exactly what I needed this morning!

Breakfast as a person with an autimmune disease is about more than the normal American Diet. I treat breakfast as the most important meal of the day. I fill it with nutrients to get the day going and give me energy. I also have a teenage athlete here so giving a protein packed meal that can slowly release energy is important to. WWe do not need the crash happening right when his baseball game is about to start!

This is a pretty large bagel sandwish even though it looks small. For my athlete I always shoot for around 25 grams of protein before a game. My go to green is argrula which has worked wonders with him. It is packed with nutrients but also keeps his energy going for many hours.

On this particular morning I had some leftover pork ribs from the night before. I cut them and heated them up along with some potato wedges.

Fried up an egg and tomato, threw it on with the argrula and pork ribs, sprinkled with nutritional yeast, (again for that punch of energy), and a dash of hot sauce. I also have some saurkraut of this sandwich because it goes great with the rib and argrula and also helps with gut health. Evryone should eat probitocs for breakfast!

There you have it. It is halthier than stopping at McDonalds so your athlete has a crash from processed foods 2 hours after he eats before his 3 hour game even starts! Also it helps finding things to do with your leftovers!

NEVER. WASTE. FOOD.

There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of pumpkin soup on a cold autumn day. Combine your roasted pumpkin with some onion, garlic, vegetable broth, and a few spices, and give it some time to simmer away. Pair it with a few slices of fresh bread to turn it into something sublime.
