Summer Squash For Breakfast
For Americans the 'veggies for breakfast' idea is kind of a twilight zone scenario. And if you're my carnivore brother, veggies for breakfast means it's just time to go back to bed until bacon appears. If you're looking to increase your vegetable intake, use up the ridiculous amount of squash from your garden, fix a savory breakfast (buh bye Pop Tarts)...it's time to embrace AM veggie loving. Squash and eggs doesn't sound like your type of thing? I also wrote a guest post on other vegetable breakfast ideas like quick smoothies.
The fiance whipped up this squash and eggs breakfast, and it's too good not to share for a savory summer meal. Based on a Food Network recipe, we've shortened the task for you with alterations to the ingredients and procedure.
