For breakfast, everyone should make these Baked Egg Ricotta Thyme Cups. Why? They are so good!
I ran in the Flying Pig Marathon yesterday as part of a relay team. I had not run more than a mile in over six months, and my leg of the relay was just shy of six miles.
Let me just say… I am so dang sore. Ain’t nobody’s fault but my own. About two miles in the realization hit that “yea this is going to hurt when I am done”. Though it was a tough run, it was a beautiful run. As I was running along with hundreds of people around me, running, cheering, handing out water, I thought to myself, what a wonderful experience. The sky was clear blue, the temperature was cool, and I was surrounded by happiness and encouragement. It really was uplifting. I haven’t run in an organized race in several years, and I forgot the wonderfulness of the experience.
I would highly recommend experiencing it for yourself you haven’t had the honor. As a walker, 5k, 10k, half or whole being part of such a great experience is something I wish for all of you.
After running in a race I always want coffee and breakfast after. A good gooey egg, with a crusty bread kind of breakfast, and this breakfast is that.
I think everyone loves a delicious breakfast. You know what everyone loves more? A delicious breakfast that is easy to put together.
This breakfast is delicious, fabulous if you have a crusty slice of bread to dip in and crunch on.
