The Festive Colors of Clean Food

Sometimes I look at sleep as merely the time that passes between dinner and breakfast.  Haha kidding, I do love my slumber dearly.  But I can't lie and say that I wasn't dreaming of coffee, eggs and fruit as soon as dinner was over.  Morning couldn't arrive fast enough.


For breaky, we made scrambled eggs on toasted ciabatta bread, topped with guacamole (since it didn't make a cameo on the dinner menu the night before!  Remember, no one leaves Reddy Kitchen without getting their fill of guac) and accompanied by a bowl of what we dubbed as "Christmas fruit": pink lady apple, pear, pomegranate and a sprig of mint.  Fruit is a key element in our breakfasts and on the weekends, when time doesn't feel so scant, it's nice to enjoy them whole.  No doubt we're a fan of smoothies, but to switch things up, we try to reserve them for weekday mornings or a mid-afternoon snack.

Clean. Simple. Whole.
