Power Breakfast

Hi friends,

We are having a cooler day today. As my hanging baskets and roses are slightly wilting because of heat, I welcome some rain. Although it is cloudy, there is no sigh of rain, not a drop of it.

This is my breakfast today.
Minestrone soup, bread rolls, omelette with mushroom sauce, home-made hash brown, salads, and coffee.

Frozen potato products are not for me, they're so tasteless and can be dry. Hash brown is actually not so difficult to make at home. Boil or steam new potatoes. (My choice is always steaming as it preserves Vitamin C better than boiling.) Add some salt and pepper.
Then, cut steamed (or boiled) potatoes like this. Don’t mash them as we want to keep the texture. I use a plastic knife for this.
Use avocado oil if you have. It is high-heat cooking.  Shape potatoes and put flour lightly on the both surfaces, then shallow fry it. That’s it.

For minestrone soup, I used this. 
This bag contains oats, lentils, carrots, pasta, peppers etc. You still have to flavour it, but it is so easy. I just added a tin of tomatoes, salt, tiny amount of tomato puree, a cube of vegetable stock, and oregano.
Omelette. 
I used Shiitake and Shimeji mushroom for sauce and 3 eggs for omelette.





My power breakfast.
