Breakfast of Champions

Chicken Salad Pita

I don’t have to eat “breakfast food” for breakfast anymore. It’s more important that I eat. Today, I had the rest of the chicken salad I made with a toasted onion pita and with melted cheese. It was kinda like a reverse chicken melt.  I do enjoy breakfast food, so I am getting a kick out of ready Extra Crispy which is a food blog all about breakfast.

New Potato Casserole

roasted new potatoes with cheese and capers

Last week, I walked the Book Lady Bookstore,  and bought an old cookbook, ‘Comforting Food’ by Judith Olney. The cookbook was published back in 1979.  It’s crazy how vintage cookbooks don’t have photos, only illustrations.  I read a recipe for baked potato with eggs and anchovies.  Inspired by the recipe, I created a new dish. First, I roasted  the new potatoes, orange pepper and Vidalia onion.

First, I roasted  the new potatoes, orange pepper and Vidalia onion that I got from the Forsyth Farmer’s Market.  Then I added heavy cream, cayenne pepper, sea salt and cumin and one clove of garlic. I roasted for 20 minutes or so until the potatoes were soft. Then I sliced the potatoes and mashed them a little.  I added cheddar cheese and sour cream. Then I topped the potatoes with capers I bought from Brighter Day.
