Visit Mary at the Little Red House for more Mosaic Monday!!
I am also sharing on Blue Monday with Smiling Sally!
I dont think it is any surprise to anyone that breakfast is our favorite meal , especially served on the porch. These cool late spring mornings just lend themselves to a leisure time spent
al fresco... and for me the creative cooking juices are at their height at this time!
Today I decided to play around with my baked egg dish that I shared about a few weeks ago...
Baked Scrambled Eggs
IN a baking dish
place
2 T. Butter and 1 chopped scallion
saute'
add 4eggs , stirred as if for scramble\ing,
season with salt and pepper
4 fresh picked basil leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
bake in prepared over at 375 for about 15-20 minutes,
This will puff up like a baked quiche..
absolutely divine and much fewer calories and less expensive.
Later we enjoyed a delicious glass of energy on ice!
I read about the benefits of these teas in Woman's World magazine...
The article expounded the health benefits of green tea, which Ive always known but it also introduced to me the idea of white tea, and another tea, pu-erh which I have yet to find in the shops.... But Im still looking!!
The recipe I made taken from the article was a bit changed due to my lack of ingredients but was so tasty and refreshing I want to keep it on hand.
Lemon Tea Cooler
Bring 8 oz of water to a boil, add
3 white tea bags
3 green tea bags
several fresh ginger slices
steep for 5 minutes
remove tea bags and ginger slices Pour into a heat proof pitcher and stir in 2 T fresh lemon juice
cool, then chill.
Serve over ice, add lemon slices I used sugar free sweetener to taste.
Makes 8 servings...
I actually had 1 tarragon tea bag that I added for an extra punch.... and I think any herbal tea or flavored tea would be delicious with this... Im still looking for the pu-erh tea, but this combination of green and white tea and ginger is
- full of antioxidants
- appetite cutting
- metabolism boosting
- healthful
- delicious
