Put Your Garden Into Breakfast

Recently I wrote about having an overabundance of fruits and veggies With it came a variety of ideas about what to do with your surplus yields. I forgot to mention that you can channel all these homegrown extras into tasty breakfasts that are full of freshness and vitamins. Best of all they;re a great way of starting off a day .

Veggies and eggs go hand in hand. You can whip up a nice crisp tomato basil frittata for a Sunday brunch or a spinach and onion omelet.Another fun thing is adding some herbs such as dill and tarragon to your scrambled eggs or even a sunny side up one. If you're growing mushrooms, then think about a breakfast mushroom cap filled with scrambled eggs , cheddar and bacon for something different.Remember you can also juice veggies too. Consider a glass of fresh made tomato juice or even one made from spinach and carrots to jump start your day.

Fruit is always a good breakfast treat. You're in luck if you're growing melon. Nothing beats a slice of melon and coffee or tea for a good slim down breakfast. Strawberries and blueberries are also good whether in a salad made in to preserve s or baked into muffins and scones. even just a side of fresh berries and cinnamon are a nice end to a savory breakfast.

Make sure breakfasts also benefit form your harvests. It's a nice way of adding not just variety but taste flavor and most importantly vitamins. You'll start the day feeling healthy thanks to to all those bumper crops!!!

NOTE: Foodie Pantry will probably be off for a few days due to technical difficulties. (thanks to me getting a DSL line installed.I may be back online Wednesday or Thursday!)
