"Preparing food for guests has always been a stressful thing - feeling inadequate and fearing that the dishes wouldn't turn out. Posting recipes has been an exercise in the ultimate confrontation of this fear. Gratefully, the joy in figuring out how to make favorite dishes with healthier ingredients now exceeds the fear and I take courage in the idea that maybe I can help someone else do the same." |
Ginger Leek Potato Scramble
After a good workout Saturday morning, I asked myself what I felt like eating. Inspired by our Iraqi exchange student Sara's ethnic dish, combined with our Chinese friend, (also named) Sara's local dish, the ingredients for this warm, comfort-food breakfast came to mind. I ran to the market to get the extras I needed, organic where possible, and threw the ingredients together. It was worth the extra effort. I can't remember a breakfast I've enjoyed more. I quickly wrote down what I assembled--lest I forget--so that I could share it with you (and replicate it for myself)! All three of my kids ate this with their breakfast. Vegetables comprise the bulk of the dish, making it a healthy, hearty, and balanced breakfast. I hope you enjoy it!
