Ingredients:
Depending on how much salad you want to make, feel free to increase or decrease amount of ingredients.
1 bunch Lacianto Kale
1 apple (I use fuji)
1/8 cup of grated parmesan cheese (or however much cheese you want!)
1/2 lemon (zested)
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper

Start by de-ribbing (is that a word? Remove the stem) the kale, and shredding the leaves. Place in a large bowl. Large dice the apple and add to the kale. Toss in the parmesan. In a separate small bowl add the olive oil, juice and zest from the lemon, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk for 30 seconds or so until it becomes a little thicker. Pour over the salad and toss. It’s that simple and so good! Good for you too 🙂

My workday starts at 6:30 in the morning, and I have a 30-45 minute commute…so it goes without saying I don’t have time to make breakfast in the morning.

I do however know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I definitely make an effort to eat a nutritious meal. Here’s a recipe I whipped up that will last me all week! Hopefully I don’t get sick of it…

Ingredients

1 cup chopped bell pepper (I prefer red)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped zucchini
1 cup chopped crimini mushrooms
1 cup diced pancetta (Italian bacon)
6 eggs
1 store bought pie crust (don’t you judge me!)
Salt and peppa!

Preheat oven to 350°. Read defrosting instructions on your piecrust. Line 9 inch baking dish with piecrust.

Prep veggies In a nonstick pan, over medium heat, cook the pancetta, stirring occasionally. I cooked this for about 10 minutes, or however long you would cook your regular bacon. I like it crispy so I went a little longer. Scoop out the pancetta and put onto a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb extra grease. With remaining grease in pan sauté veggies, season with salt and pepper, about eight minutes or until soft. Beat six eggs, season with salt and pepper. Combine all ingredients into a bowl and pour into piecrust. Bake for around 30 minutes and enjoy! Refrigerate whatever is left over.
