We've been trying to eat more vegetables and have discovered that we actually like them for breakfast. A big bowl of steaming, braised purple cabbage is a particular favorite. Today, being Friday, I tried this
Sautéed Shrimp and Spinach recipe. I added grated parmesan and almonds sautéed in butter. Pretty yummy stuff. We feel good all the way till lunch after eating this kind of breakfast.

On Wednesday I used
this recipe, a long-time favorite, to make some breakfast sausage. After the sausage was cooked, I stirred in two bags of organic cabbage/broccoli/carrot slaw and cooked it till the veggies were tender, then added grated cheddar on top. I still had plenty the next morning, so I used it as a filling for omelets. And there is still some left after making four omelets. When I make it again, I will add a third bag of slaw or maybe cut the sausage recipe in half. I don't remember how much the bags weighed, but I am guessing there was 2 1/2 cups of vegetables in each one.

I am more of a sweet oatmeal or eggs and toast with jam type person, but those look yummy! Just maybe for lunch or dinner. :)
I know what you mean! I used to prefer the muffin/pancakes/eggs kinds of breakfast, too. We started trying to get in 9 cups of vegetables a day, though, and we couldn't do it without starting at breakfast. Then we found we liked it. Funny how that works. ;-) I haven't been able to keep up with the 9 cups a day goal. I keep trying, though.
I have a another friend who is eating vegetables for breakfast to help with gut issues. She was using brussel sprouts and mushrooms.
Thats awesome, Kathy! I'll try to write a post soon about the reasoning behind our trying to drastically increase our vegetable intake.
