This was actually one of the first recipes that I posted here. It's been a family favorite for years and years now. Well, at least 7 years anyway! It was also one of the first real recipes that I made for my family.
I love it for how easy it is to make, but it's also one of the most delicious soups you can make, and is rather guilt free too!...

So, originally I was going to call this a 'breakfast' bowl, but then I started to realize that you could eat this for just about any meal. If you want it more 'breakfast' style you could cook the eggs scrambled or poached. For lunch? I prefer the hardboiled! Making it into dinner? Toss in some grilled chicken.
With all of that being said, I decided it was best to just call it the Mediterranean Bowl, and not label it with a specific meal type. No matter when you decided to enjoy it, it's packed with loads of nutrients and good-for-you stuff...

Ever since I got my pullet eggs last week, I've been in breakfast heaven. And since I'm getting more of them later today (while they're still in season), I wanted to use up the few that I have leftover for breakfast again today! It's not what I had planned, but Hurricane Harvey sort of threw me off my schedule that I had laid out. So, I'm just winging it here.
If you missed it last time I talked about pullet eggs, basically they are smaller eggs that are laid by chickens under a year old. They're richer and have bigger yolks than eggs laid by older and more mature hens. So, when I find them for sale I always buy them while I can...

Today is bittersweet! It's the last day of my daughter being in the first grade. Eek! Where does the time go? Somewhere in between rushing her around to school this morning and dealing with a bit of a family emergency, I had to find time to get some food in my system. Since we're on the verge of summer, I thought it would be a great time to make myself a fun summer inspired breakfast scramble!
I'm calling this a Summer Breakfast Scramble, mostly because I'm making use of some summer greens, light feta cheese, and some tomatoes to boot. I've been on a bit of a breakfast kick lately, can you tell? It's just been eggs on top of eggs on top of eggs around here for the whole week. You can't blame me! The farm fresh eggs got me like 'whoa'...

Have you heard me talk about the omlettata before? Surely you have. I've fallen in love with them. They are a perfectly easy and quick way to eat a healthy breakfast. I should know. I'm right smack dab in the middle of the 'busy season' around here. And by that I mean... the end of school, dance recital, and birthdays/anniversaries galore. (Happy Anniversary to my parents and also my parents-in-law!)
There's a lot of YAY going on, but also a lot of meltdowns (and I don't just mean with my 7 year old! Hah!) Anyway! I've been lacking a bit in the breakfast department and I had some local eggs in the fridge that had to be used up soon, so... I thought a new omlettata would be the way to go...

It's no secret that this week has been kicking my tail, though more so in a humorous way at this point. I couldn't even list out the amount of things that have gone wrong because it's almost been everything that I've been a part of or a hand in. I'm pushing past it though, and rocking it out now that it's the weekend.
Next week will be better because it just has to be.
Food has been my savior this week. There have been few disasters that I've had in the kitchen, with a flop of a recipe and a broken egg splat on my kitchen floor, but still nearly everything has come out tasting amazing. Even if it's not exactly what I had planned out on my menu...
