I had quite a few vegetables left over from this week and my creativity did not kick in on this Sunday morning. I just felt so blah from my work week and did not know what I wanted to eat for breakfast. I basically threw the leftover asparagus, mushrooms in a sauté pan and cooked them for a few minutes, made fresh spinach pesto and scrambled up some eggs. Voila! A healthy green breakfast that screams I Do Like Green Eggs says Pam I Am! Needless to say I felt better after I ate and drank 2 cups of coffee.
