Starting Out Strange But Good

By

Don’t you hate feeling repetitive?

Don’t you hate feeling repetitive?

Yes, I do amuse myself… hahaha! 🙂  Seriously though.  I’ve done quite a few #strangebutgood breakfast posts.  It’s just so easy to be strange in the morning!  Maybe I dream about it since I typically fall asleep thinking about breakfast?

I have a few (more) atypical breakfast ideas for you today… but they could double as dinners or even a dessert!

1. Griddled Crab Mexican Pizza

This was inspired by my Griddled Chicken and Grapefruit Pizza.  I told you I’m being repetitive.  #sorryimnotsorry

I’ve been eating more savory breakfasts lately.  My sweet tooth is legendary, and I find if I don’t start the day off with a sweet meal it helps keep it in check.  At least until lunch.  

I prepared this just like in this post, except my toppings were crab, kale, salsa, and avocado.

2. French Toast with #yolkporn Syrup

For some reason I think it’s more acceptable for me to use the word “porn” if I hashtag it.  Hmmm…

You may remember this from Wednesday (again with the repetition!), but I wanted to go into more detail.  Because it was that good.  I wanted french toast and a runny egg… so I just combined the two!  That delicious local egg yolk made of a fantastic savory syrup on my toast.

Adding the blueberries on top with a touch of toasted coconut added the slightest sweetness, completing each delectable bite.

I prepared a healthy french toast just like in this PB&J French Toast recipe, using P28 Protein Bread for extra protein.  When I cooked my egg, I just added blueberries and the coconut to the other side of the pan to be warming.  Looks fancy, but it was quick and easy!

3. Peanut Butter Shirataki “Rice” Pudding

My last repetitive meal was created from Wednesday’s dinner leftovers.  I had tried the Skinny Noodle Shirataki “Rice” for the first time.  I loved the Israeli couscous-like texture!  Perfect for breakfast, no?

One package is 2 servings.  Since I’d already prepped the whole package (you MUST rinse and warm to avoid the funky flavor), I used the second half to pre-make breakfast.  What resulted was reminiscent a thick, creamy bowl of peanut butter rice pudding.  Incredible.  I sampled a bite before bed and it was all I could do not to house the whole thing right then and there.

Mine was topped with a fresh Georgia peach, but I think any fruit would be good here.  Like banana… mmmm… breakfast tomorrow…

Peanut Butter Shirataki Rice Pudding

Ingredients:

  • 1 serving Skinny Noodle Shirataki “Rice”
  • 1/2 C unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or other liquid)
  • 1/4 C peanut flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Vanilla liquid Stevia, to taste

Mix together all ingredients. Cover and place in the fridge at least one hour, or overnight.  

In the morning, remove from fridge and stir.  You may need to add additional liquid to thin it out to your preference.

Top as desired and enjoy!

Note: I order my peanut flour from iHerb – I like it better than PB2 because it is less processed and doesn’t have the added sugar and sodium.  Use my discount code – USO924 – for $5-10 off your order!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!!  We got drenched but made the very best of it.

When was the last time you felt repetitive?

Does a more savory start to the day help curb your sweet tooth?

Comments

  1. Haha I thought your intro was amusing;)
    It’s so weird but I can’t even remember the last time I had a savory Breakfast. I just feel so wrong doing it for some odd reason. It’s not in my blood, I suppose.
    I could totally eat these for Dinner though…or Lunch.
    And I’m super intrigued by your rice pudding! So interesting.

  5. ohh i did that pb rice noodle one before. It’s freakin AWESOME! Slurply nutty goodness. You can repeat that anytime!
    😉

  6. Well, breakfast is definitely the best meal of the day, so making it the strangest-but-good meal? Why not! Or would that be strange-but-goodest? Either way, I’d eat ’em. Except maybe not the shirataki rice. I can’t handle the noodle version.

  7. Everything sounds tasty, Laura! I especially like the sound of the “rice” pudding. Going to have to look for the shirataki.
    I’m not linking today, because life has been a bit topsy turvy this week, read that as not much cooking going on. But I did tell everyone to check out Strange But Good. Hope to be back next week…have a great day!

  8. I LOVE your strangbutgood creations. Seriously LOVE. Starting the day on a savory note totally curbs my sweet tooth! But I never want to- I always want something sweet in the morning! Go figure… 🙂

    • I’m the same… but if I can hold off til afternoon snack I’m sooo much better off.

  10. I seriously eat the same breakfast like every morning. It’s an egg sandwich. Sometimes I think of making something else, and then it never sounds as good as my egg sandwich.

  13. Considering that breakfast is the best meal of the day, it only makes sense to focus all of your strange-but-good efforts there 😉 And you just can’t beat #yolkporn (you’re right, the hashtag makes it acceptable). I haven’t tried it on french toast yet, but I do love it on rice cakes and oatmeal!

    • I like the way you think. 🙂

      Rice cakes. Why do I keep forgetting to buy them?!

  15. Yeah, I start out strange but good sometimes–like this week, as I’m linking up my Sweet Corn and Blueberry waffles. They are inspired by Alanna’s Sweet Corn, Blueberry, and Cucumber Salad but honestly, cucumbers in a waffle is just a little too strange for me. I stuck with corn and blueberries and that’s a strange but good way to start the day.

    I can go either way on sweet or savory to start my day, but I’m usually not hungry until at least mid-morning so my “start” has been savory of late. I’ve been fixing loads of greens-and-eggs meals since I’ve been getting so many lovely greens from the CSA farm share, but the money shot of yolk porn continues to evade me.

    Utterly jealous of your yolk porn.

    Thanks!

  19. I feel repetitive Mon-Fri. It’s always the same, wake up, gym, work, home, prepare for tomorrow, sleep, repeat. ha, and I always make an egg white scramble at work in the morning bc it’s the easiest and most satisfying breakfast I could put together. I guess I should jazz it up so my life doesn’t turn into Groundhog Day!

    • I’m the same way!!! I think that’s why I liked the rice crispies I posted today so much – a little salty PB makes it. 🙂

  22. That looks incredible. Do you have to buy the rice online or can you get at the store?

    • They sent me these to sample… I’m not sure where you can get them around town (but I haven’t sought out this brand until now). They have an option to order online though!

  23. I just can’t seem to get on board with eating savory in the morning, but I will say, it does curb my sweet tooth. My favorite way to enjoy savory in the morning is 2 whole organic local eggs with tomatoes and avocado on top with cracked black pepper and parsley. YUM! However, I never eat this and usually go with my sweet smoothies instead:) However, if I’m out of town and at a restaurant, eggs are my go-to option. Thanks for the strange but good inspiration! I consider all my food strange lol:)

  26. So much strange but goodness!! I love this series. I HAVE to try those brownie bars Debbie featured – and those waffles look so good too!

  27. I didn’t know shirataki made a rice version! I’d be so down for your treat/breakfast, ‘cept I’d used real peanut butter and then thicken it with a little coconut flour instead.
