One thing's for sure, I'm no early bird, more of a night owl! It takes a good couple of hours before my brain gets into gear.
Remember those old wind-up toys? Well, I need that kind of kick-start, but once I'm on the go, there's no stopping me, and that usually happens after dinner.
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which makes sense, you need fuel to get going, right? But, I'm not a breakfast person either; a slice of toast with peanut butter was my breakfast on the go!
After the abdominal surgery, I had to be careful with what I ate. The one thing you need to avoid at all costs is the awful...constipation! I initially did not touch bread, but slowly introduced it into my diet, with no adverse effects.
I started with a bowl of oats porridge with cinnamon and honey, but now my breakfast mostly is bran flakes with almond milk, fruit, and berries.
When Avocados are in season, hubby's favourite used to be Avo on Sourdough toast, something I also enjoy.
This gorgeous avo did not have any blemishes on it.
I served it with Nasturtium leaves and a flower, all edible. It has a kind of mustardy taste, with the same bite.
Sunday Breakfast in a Flash
My youngest son spent a couple of days here for work and needed a little more than just cereal. We both enjoyed one of my favourite breakfasts in a jiffy - poached eggs in a tomato and onion sauce, absolutely delicious!
All my herbs are looking a little sad after a very dry winter, but they're coming to life again. Somehow the yellow Nasturtiums are flowering more than the orange ones.
I won't be giving an exact recipe as such, you may want to change your sauce by adding mushrooms, bell peppers, eggplant, or whatever you have in the refrigerator, or even better, the garden;) Tomatoes and onions, or spring onions, are a must, in my opinion.
The Ingredients
Sautee diced onions and spring onions in a little oil and butter.
Add diced tomatoes, and Italian herbs, and season to taste. Cover and cook a little.
Make wells in the sauce, carefully break the eggs in the wells, and put the lid on to poach the eggs.
We both like our eggs medium, hubby used to like a runny egg, so it often was quite a juggling act to get his out before it hardens.
I only had one egg, and almost forgot to take the last photo, our eggs were a little overdone, but still delicious!
Have a fabulous weekend everyone! I hope you enjoyed having breakfast with me.
Please let me know what you enjoy eating when you rise and shine every morning!

I'll try again later, I guess. Clicked it twice, Lizelle, to see what you're cooking and can't get past the new avatar. <3 Lookin good.
I wonder who prompted the old gal to finally show her age;)
Maybe you can help me @dandays? I still see the old avatar on my mini pc when in peakd, but hive and inleo both display the updated one. My phone shows the updated one on all of them. I've logged out and in again, no change!
I don't think you're alone. I've noticed the same when others change their pic. Seems to be a time delay between front ends or something but they always manage to catch up. Nicely done, you.
Let's hope it changes some time otherwise, I'll always stay young here on my PC when in peakd😅
Thank you @dandays 💖
You're welcome now stop being so bashful. You don't look a day iver 43.
I wish😅
The young apprentices who periodically stay in our bnb, used to call me Mama, but now I'm called Gogo (grandma), so you know what that tells me.
Age is but a number, you can be old at 20 and young at 90, does that make sense?
I've but never misunderstood you yet. <3
Certainly a great breakfast. I do avo and scrambled eggs every morning. Marian says that when they were young, and had sore throats, her grandfather gave them nasturtiums to chew on. All of a sudden, the sore throats were gone. I think that they were more scared of the burn than the sore throats, and the fear healed their throats. !LOLZ

Marian's grandfather was right, I was going to mention how good it is for sore throats, definitely works. Some call it nature's antibiotic, it has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Very good plant to have in the garden.
Arthur used to love scrambled eggs and avo!
Thank you for stopping by Zac, blessings to you and Marian!
Never tried it, but now know what to take if I have a sore throat in the future. Arthur was a wise man, and I am glad that he also liked avo and scrambled eggs. Not to say that I am also wise, far from it, but it is easy to make and tastes good. We bought the ingredients today to make your breakfast recipe. !LOLZ

I'm sure you'll enjoy it Zac, it really is the easiest and tastiest way to make poached eggs. You can add mushrooms or peppers to the tomato and onion sauce, and if you feel like being lavish, sprinkle grated cheese on when it's almost cooked. Take pics and do a foodie post, use the tag #myway 😉
We used to make our own version of a recipe that someone shared, way back with the #cookwithus contests.
It was interesting how different people interpreted the recipes.
Have a good evening my friend.
So much flavour in one cooked dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner, great to have your son there to share it with you.
Breakfast always a weetbix, plain lactose free yogurt with fresh fruit at least 3, kick start the day always!
Before all the movement in a kitchen I have a strong coffee, perhaps not so healthy, only one of the day!
Ha Joan, I forgot to mention the coffee, how can one start the day without coffee, I have a rusk with mine! When I wasn't having regular breakfasts, it used to just be the rusk.
I know coffee is the worst thing for reflux, but, we only live once! I once put off going for a fasting blood test because I could only go after 8, and did not want to wait so long for my coffee. Best to have those tests in winter when you can sleep in😉
I must try lactose-free yogurt instead of almond milk. The doc told me to try and stay off dairy, but I love yogurt!
Enjoy the weekend Joan.
Lancewood lactose-free plain yogurt I enjoy, my son recently tried the flavoured and enjoyed it as well. Almond milk worked out expensive when I purchased years ago.
Moving rooms/furniture for painting/repairing ongoing, hope to be finished by end of month. Hit a brick wall with tax now problem solving moving cobwebs around, will get there....
Have a gorgeous sunshine day 🌞🌻
Don't even talk about tax! I now have to add the bnb to mine, and because SARS are getting more sticky, I've done a lot more this year to get my ducks in a row! Thankfully a friend who does books is checking my spreadsheet. I hate that side of the bnb!
Home maintenance can sometimes drag out when other things crop up, very frustrating, but so nice when it's done.
I got bad news early this morning, a friend's hubby passed away, they're much younger. He had some rare incurable disease, but it still came as a shock.
So my day's been rather gloomy, despite the beautiful weather💔
I wish our tax system was more straight forward, it's far too complicated for those in small business. I prepared everything then realized something has been done incorrectly, am hoping for some assistance perhaps tomorrow or Tuesday then still have more to complete.
I am feeling slightly burnt out with doing this major repair, thought over the years it was being attended to, my surprise it hasn't, well take the bull by the horns and run with it!
Hearing of younger folk passing is always a shock, happening more frequently of late as well.
Hopefully more rain arrives soon to cool me down, enjoy the sun I know you prefer the warmer weather....
It's terrible how difficult they make it for small businesses! I am so thankful my friend is checking my spreadsheet. Arthur and I did not claim properly for depreciation all these years, so always had to pay in, not a fortune, but still!
I understand when you say about major repair, there were a great number of things that Arthur was not well enough to even think about. I now realize that he was not well for a long time, but tried to hide it from me. Thankfully he taught Bonginkosi well, and he's slowly getting everything spic and span again.
I prefer warmer weather, but not the humidity we have in Jan through to March!
I hope you get the tax sorted quickly so you can put it behind you.
Enjoy your Sunday evening Joan.

yummy breakfast 😋
Sounds delicious and it's so nice that is quick and easy! I'm always looking for something that I can fix fast without having to think too much about it! Ha!
I'm not too a morning person, by the way your breakfast looks all amazing 😍😍 I know it's a bad habit but usually my breakfast it's only a caffè and maybe a milk glass.
Thank you @noemilunastorta, you're a bit worse than I used to be😉 I cannot start my day without that first cup of coffee and a rusk (kind of a biscotti, but not as sweet). That sometimes was breakfast!
I now force myself to have cereal these days, but it's actually better as I don't get hunger pangs later on.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Excellent breakfast, for me the egg is a proper breakfast food, and since it was for your son it has an additional ingredient, "mommy love" for sure he ate it with pleasure and let you know. Happy Sunday to you my friend.🤗😀😘
Very tasty and healthy breakfast menu

I've read before when you talked about avocados on toast and I think I need to try it. I wasn't raised eating avocados and didn't learn to love them till I was in my 40s.
Your poached egg breakfast looks good, although I have never been a breakfast person either and if left alone, would not get hungry till an hour before noon mostly. In the past, offering me breakfast with onions and other savory things in it would make me politely decline...LOL... but I'm always curious now and would certainly try it.
I love what you did with those eggs, and the Nasturtiums, oh! so lovely. Breakfast is my happy meal but coffee is my morning kick. If breakfast is good, my day will be so as well. But a cup of steaming black coffee is what gets this early bird going.
Nice ideas for breakfast. Loved them all 😍
