What’s up and how are you doing? It’s me, LA your favorite plant-based advocate from Black Girls Eat checking in to see what’s going on in your world. Welcome to another issue of Recipes & Random-Ish. If this is your first week here, that would be a double welcome! If you read these often, I’m sending major hugs. Thank you for your support!
I must have had five conversations this past week about breakfast. Lots of people who are choosing mostly plants are having a hard time getting beyond breakfast. It’s the actual word breakfast that makes it tricky. Here is what most think of when we say, “breakfast.”:
Eggs
Bacon
Toast
Cereal
Yogurt
Oatmeal
That’s part of the challenge. It’s a trap! You don’t have to think of it this way. You can think of it as Meal One. Doesn’t that feel liberating? Whenever I ask myself, to think about what I want to eat for Meal One, it feels like I have zillions of options.
So having said that, let’s remix that mindset and create a new list of possibilities for Meal One. Here’s what I had for “Breakfast” last week:
Spinach, Tomato and Watermelon Salad
Avocado and Roasted Red Pepper on a Bagel
The combinations are endless. So when you wake up tomorrow morning…I encourage you to break the rules and make your own version of Meal One.
The Recipe: Peach Cobbler
Whoa! I had a good time making mini-peach cobblers for Mother’s Day. Now that it’s really summer, fresh peaches are readily available. Check out the recipe and make this dessert this weekend!
The Random: It’s My 10 Year Wedding Anniversary!
