Guest Post: My go-to “on-the-go” breakfast

A big HI to all of Sylvia’s readers!! I absolutely adore Sylvia’s blog…she helps me feed my quinoa addiction. (In addition to lots of other things as well!) I’m so glad I found her (or she might have found me, I don’t really remember) through WIAW! That little party sure does bring people together.

So anyway, my name is Cinnamon and I am the blog mastermind behind eatPRAYtri.com. And when I say blog mastermind, I really mean a wife and stepmother trying really hard yet failing miserably at most things (cooking and working out to name a few), buuuuut loving every minute of life anyway and talking about it all on the internet!

Sylvia guest posted for me a while back while I was away in Mexico and her post got rave reviews. When she asked me to return the favor, I jumped at the chance although I don’t think my post will get quite the reviews as hers did. But a girl can dream right?

I present to you one of my all time favorite recipes:

See what I mean?

I love blogging for lots of different reasons, but one of the biggest reasons BY FAR is the stuff I learn. Sometimes I seriously wonder how I got anything accomplished before I started reading blogs. That was only about a year ago, so honestly the fact that I have actually made it to 36 is probably a miracle. 🙂

Seriously though, the things you pick up and learn just by reading other peoples perspectives and opinions is just fantastic. This little go-to breakfast of mine is a combination of two things I learned from reading blogs. I just put them together and viola! I have my new favorite (SUPER EASY) breakfast that I eat MOST days of the week.

The microwave egg sandwich

I had never really seen or heard of sandwich thins before blogging. Maybe I just didn’t pay attention in the grocery store (I have no idea how long they have been around) but I swear I had no idea these existed. Then I saw bloggers left and right throwing peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter (bloggers love nut butter if you couldn’t tell) and banana or strawberry or whatever else on top of these sandwich thins and having (what seemed to me) the greatest breakfast ever.

I jumped on board right away. And what do you know? They are fantastic. Now we get them at Costco, stick them in the freezer and eat them until our little hearts are content.

THEN, I read about microwaving eggs. Probably doesn’t seem like rocket science to most people, and I guess it doesn’t really seem like that to me either, but I had never once before in my life considered microwaving eggs. I have no idea why. So of course, this idea was brilliant to me. And made me feel incredibly stupid all at the same time.

I love eggs and I think I pretty much always have, but I never wanted to make them because they were messy, dirtied a pan and took longer than a minute to prepare. This does not fly when you have to get out the door because you hit snooze too many times and now you are running late and you still have to drive an hour to work. Its also really hard to eat eggs in the car unless they are hardboiled or solidified in some way between two pieces of bread.

What a minute.

Stop the presses.

Hold on.

Idea time.

How about I microwave an egg in the exact same size dish as the sandwich thin? Slap it in the middle, wrap it up and take it in the car so that I could eat it on the way to work?

And the whole thing takes literally about 1 min 30 seconds to put together?

Yep, that just happened.

So this is what I do. I get all my stuff together

I put the sandwich thin in the toaster and then I crack the egg into the dish and put in some salt, pepper and a sprinkling of shredded chedda cheese

Then I scramble it all up and throw it in the microwave for 1 minute

This is what comes out

About this time my sandwich thin is done toasting so I slap the egg on there (fits PERFECTLY), wrap it up in a paper towel and put it on top of my coffee mug to take out to the car.

I mean seriously. It probably took longer to read this post than to make this breakfast. And its good for you.

This is also proof why reading blogs is good for you too! Especially mine.

What is your go-to breakfast?

Did you know about microwaving eggs before you were an adult? Please say no so I feel better.
