“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” - Harriet Van HorneTumblr (3.0; @chickbressecooks)http://chickbressecooks.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2227d5974d413ab2f2eed163aac18e91/tumblr_mhsr7jYUyb1r4sqg7o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/58aad83e9d0ff61dff6ee45d0a603558/tumblr_mhsr7jYUyb1r4sqg7o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/346a6da4e6501d91698753a1374d7fa4/tumblr_mhsr7jYUyb1r4sqg7o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2a787f2a22eef93739d6548827d50bab/tumblr_mhsr7jYUyb1r4sqg7o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>French Toast Eggs<br/> So there isn’t any bread involved. And I’m still not sure how it is French. But I love making scrambled eggs like this, specially in the winter.</p> <p>1. Scramble up an egg or two or three or ten.<br/> 2. Add in as much vanilla extract an cinnamon as you prefer. I love this stuff so I tend to be heavy-handed. If you’re not sure, I’d recommend starting with a tsp of vanilla and moderate amount of cinnamon.<br/> 3. Scramble! In a hot pan of course. Don’t forget to use a non-sticker (butter, spray, oil, shortening, whatever).<br/> 4. I love strawberries and blueberries but any fruit you love on French toast can be used. Apples cook nicely but take a little longer (bananas, add them after). Throw them in the pan as the eggs finish cooking.<br/> 5. Enjoy! You can throw some syrup on them if you want, more cinnamon, or confectioner’s sugar. Whipped cream even! But for a pretty healthy start to your day, eggs and fruit are good.</p>http://chickbressecooks.tumblr.com/post/42423368156http://chickbressecooks.tumblr.com/post/42423368156Wed, 06 Feb 2013 06:42:46 -0500chickbre<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8pnciBae51qzpi5ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ohlili.tumblr.com/post/29355089129/cocochanel">ohlili</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>cocochanel</p> </blockquote>http://chickbressecooks.tumblr.com/post/29421155964http://chickbressecooks.tumblr.com/post/29421155964Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:37:09 -0400chickbre<p>Ingredients</p> <p>- 1 cup kale (stems removed, ripped or chopped into however big you want the pieces to be)</p> <p>- 1 tsp olive oil</p> <p>- 1/4 tsp (or pinch) sea salt</p> <p>- 4-5 strawberries diced</p> <p>- 1/4 c blueberries</p> <p>Instructions</p> <p>Massage olive oil and sea salt into kale leaves.
