Sweet Potato Breakfast: 2 Way Experiment

I had a few sweet potatoes in the fridge and wanted to have some for breakfast. But I'd didn't want sweet potato pancakes nor baked sweet potatoes. So I tried a couple of things: Savory & Sweet!

Ingredients:
1 large peeled and grated sweet potato (only a portion shown here)
1 quarter grated red onion
1 grated Gala apple
Salt
Pepper
Cinnamon
Honey
Olive Oil



Savory:
Heated olive oil in a pan
Added half of the grated sweet potato and all of the red onion
Seasoned with salt and pepper
I sorta scrambled in the pan for a minute or so and then formed 3 patties, pressing with spatula.

After it cooked for about 3 minutes on one side I turned over for another 2 min.

Voila!! Done!!

And it was absolutely YUM!!!!!!!!

Sweet:
Heated olive oil in a pan
Added half of the grated sweet potato and all of the apple
Seasoned with cinnamon and honey
I scrambled in the pan for a minute until tender. (I couldn't get the patty shape to take because of the juice of the apple....I think.)

So I served it loosely scrambled. It was good but could have been better. Perhaps I'll try to bake the "Sweet" and add granola and raisins next time.

Score:
Sweet 2 Yums!!
Savory 5 Yums!!!!!

Kashi: Lean Machine Crunch Factor

Love this stuff!

Kashi Go Lean Original has been my breakfast/snack choice lately.  Dry, no milk.  It serves two purposes:

1. It's LEAN and packed with goodies, especially PROTEIN (13g) which I'm always looking for.

2. It satisfies my need for CRUNCH!  Instead of popcorn, my other snack favorite, and the evil POTATO CHIP, I pull out a zip baggie to munch on.

YUM!

Tofu Scramble-licious!

I LOVE tofu scramble, especially as a breakfast dish.  I accidentally came across a really simple recipe today and decided to make it for dinner.  I didn't have the yeast, lime and thyme.  But I did add zucchini, red and yellow peppers and fresh spinach at the end.  And although it was dinner, I made grits to eat with it. Yummy-yum!!
