The Science of The Wholesome Breakfast

The whole concept of breakfast falls under the same priority list as Money and Love.


There is nothing more I want first thing in the morning than hearty breakfast. Not even a good morning kiss from my love. Actually, I am dead serious. My whole palette has evolved alongside my desire to have a more condensed, wholesome and healthy cooking routine. This morning, I woke up thinking of how to make my dream into a reality.

Then it Hit Me: Small Steps.
Small, Simple Steps.
Eliminating Extra Movements.


This concept of Small Steps is something I have already heavily invested in, with the 15-Minute Meal Prep Plans.
Here is an extra goodie for all you Ladies and Gents who make their own breakfast.
As a re-do on the Classic Continental Breakfast, I made Hash Browns using Sweet Potatoes. I chopped half a sweet potato and sautéed it for about 8 minutes. Truth be told, it was a bit over-done. I also sprinkled some dry parsley, pumpkin seeds and dry cranberries.

The entire time I was eating this meal, I was already thinking about the next one. If I hadn't taken the extra 5 minutes to think about what to add to my meal, I would not have come up with this. To be honest, there is a lot more I would change in my breakfast along with the rest of the Lunch-Dinner Ensemble. However, the Small Steps Strategy has helped me realize, that one small experiment at a time can help me achieve far more in the Kitchen than big, lofty cookbooks dedicated to the author's pets.

Maternal Warmth and Other Excerpts From The Womb

                                                                       Warmth:

    This entire experience of being jammed up on the house with my family has revealed a new territory that I never even knew counted for something. I undermined motherhood to a great degree due to my parent's divorce and internalized resentment. I thought motherhood was a frivolous pre-occupation, taken on by women lacking real purpose and enough ambition to make it to the top of the Corporate Ladder. 

    If you asked me a few years ago what I wanted from life, I would tell you an Executive Position for a major Publishing Firm in New York and an ever-growing potential to be even greater. There was also more stuff I added to my dream career board. At one point, I changed my entire goal post to include a more exciting career.With every disappointment in life, I wanted to counter it with a bigger career goal. 

So what changed?

    Once in a life someone comes around who shakes up your entire existence and makes you rearrange that ambition. Not because it's not in his self-interest. In fact, it's the exact opposite. It's because he sees enough potential in me to see that I am capable of warmth and accepting my maternal instincts. I feel so lucky to have finally become in touch with my feminine side, thanks to my new relationship. My year started off heavily on the same broken record of Achievement, and now, thanks to him, I found a care-free existence; the type only a mother can bring into this world.
