The Saturday Daily Fresh

OK so last night wasn't too bad at all, I ate my Orzo and the whole wheat wasn't all that bad, but still not my favorite.  This was a night that was long, and I didn't take enough to eat so I just got a chicken wrap from the grill  (nothing homemade  :  (  )...too much food but it worked.

Here's how I look at it.  I made my main meals for the day with very little effort and the food was good quality.  I really try to buy Organic or natural foods most of the time.  If I can't I am not going to cry about it, that's just the way it is.  I think if we all just try to take a little time to prepare at home ahead of time or just allow a little time before we get ready for work or going to the lake or whatever, then we feed ourselves and others good, quality treats and meals, and probably save a good amount of money in the end!!!!

Greens with the onion pepper, pancetta

Since I slept in think I'll have brunch instead of breakfast.  I think I'll have poached egg on a bed of greens.
Brunch is finally done.  Here's what we have:

Poached egg on a bed of organic baby greens with sauteed red onion, pancetta, crimini mushrooms (or whatever you like) and a few slices of red bell pepper and a sesame vinegrette.  Took about 15 minutes to make...

     1.  Place greens on your plate (about 1/2 to 1 cup)

Poaching the egg

     2.  Slice a few rings of bell pepper and place on the lettuce
     3.  Slice 2 slices of red onion and about a small handful of diced pancetta and sautee them in a pan with a few sliced mushrooms.  Season to taste.
      4.  Poach the egg....float the egg in boiling water, but not a rolling boil.  Add a splash of vinegar to the water and it helps the egg from spreading all over in the water, put the egg into a smaller container so it forms the shape of the small pan..  Poach (or fry if you like )until the egg is as done as you like, but keep a yolk because you want it to spread into the lettuce when you cut into it.

All assembled, Yummy this is great

VINEGRETTE: 1/2tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp honey, 1tsp rice wine vinegar ,  2tbs EVOO or a good vegetable oil.  I prefer a mild olive oil for this.  salt/pepper   mix it all up, taste it and adjust the flavors for what you like....throw in some toasted sesame seeds and mix...top the lettuce and place the egg on the lettuce.   TIME TO EAT.

OMG that was to die for!!!!!!
Please whenever you can, buy organic eggs raised in a humaine fashion...they now have an organic egg at Costco!!!!
