Mushroom Snow Pea Stir Fry is a dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner and is Paleo, Gluten Free and Dairy Free.
I came up with this dish while I was strolling through the little farmers market. The ingredients were all side by side, but the star of the show were these B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L mushrooms. There was an assortment of oyster, and shiitake from the hills of Pennsylvania.
Then next to the mushrooms in a little basket were sweet snow peas which are sweet flat beautiful green colored peas that have very small peas inside their pod. The whole pod is edible and you should snap the ends pulling away the string the runs along the edges.
I grabbed a few more ingredients and headed to the register. I left the market with my little bag of goodies, not sure how exactly I would enjoy them, but knew they would all compliment one another.
When I got home and started laying out my ingredients on the counter the basket of eggs wasn’t far away and that was when I knew a stir fry would be perfect. I have made this for a side dish with dinner several times, but would be perfect for breakfast with a nice crusty bread to enjoy in the runny yolks.

Amy, this looks great. I love baked eggs loaded with veggies, and the twist with a stir fry component is exciting! Great video, too.
