Breakfast of Champions

I woke up this morning in need of some inspiration and something different. Normally I would be sharing pictures of inspiring interiors or current design projects and ideas in the works. But, this morning I'm cooking instead. I find cooking to be extremely therapeutic. Some of my favorite moments are cooking in the kitchen with David who happens to be quite the chef. In college whenever I had late design classes - I'd always come home to wonderfully home-cooked meal. His signature dish was pork chops with an apple chutney. Cooking together always takes me back to our little tree house apartment.

I took inspiration for this morning's meal from Sara at Sprouted Kitchen. Reading her blog is definitely a treat. Her talented husband, Hugh is a photographer. Hugh happened to have gone on Semester at Sea with the Best Man in our wedding. We desperately tried to book him for our wedding but someone had already snatched him up. Lucky them! : )

The ingredients for this breakfast are pretty simple.

Whole Wheat Tortillas (you can use flour or even corn)

Eggs (or egg whites would be a good healthy option)

Jack Cheese (or any cheese)

Spinach (for big muscles)

tomatoes

onions

basil

avocado

Cut the tomatoes in half a roast them in the oven at 325 for about 20 mins or until the onions turn slightly brown. Do this in the beginning while you're preparing the rest of the meal.

I forgot about mine and they turned a little more than slightly brown - still good though!

I warmed the tortillas straight over the stove flame to get them nice and toasty.

Pile it all in and enjoy!

A Simple Day

Today was complete bliss. Not a penny was spent, other than a quick bite to eat. As some of you know I don't have typical Monday through Friday work schedule. I'm at the store Tuesdays through Saturdays which leaves me with every Monday off. Normally I spend this day running errands and working on various projects that are in the works. I haven't shared this yet, but our schedule has changed around our house just a bit. We took the plunge earlier this year and David has decided to go back to school full time for a second degree. His heart and passion are in computers and at 18 years old when we were all asked to declare a major and choose what it is we're going to do with our lives - he didn't know that yet. After months of talking about going back, life threw us a curve that launched us full swing into our plan. One of the good things about our new schedule is getting to spend TWO full days with my partner-in-crime. We haven't had this schedule in a long time and it's simply blissful. I'm lucky enough to have a husband that's always up for an adventure - even if it involves antiquing. We hopped in the car and headed south to Architectural Salvage - a rusty, crusty, chippy, heavenly shop in downtown San Diego.
