Veggie Breakfast Bowl with Magic Cilantro Sauce

I’m not a purist when it comes to breakfast.  You will often find me eating leftovers from dinner in the morning.  This Veggie Breakfast Bowl with Magic Cilantro Sauce is my current favorite leftover creation.  It’s loaded with veggies and topped with a fried egg.  The perfect fuel for a busy day. 

There are days when I just don’t have time to cook.  That’s when we make leftover magic.

Leftover magic happens when you take whatever leftovers you have in the fridge and create a fabulous and delicious meal out of them.  When I am cooking, I try to make extra so there will be leftovers to create quick and easy meals through out the week.  It’s not easy making sure that we have healthy, real food meals every day of the week.

One thing that I like to keep stocked in the fridge is plenty of cooked and fresh veggie so I can quickly cook up a bit of protein and have a full, rounded meal.   I often have lots of cooked sweet potatoes, winter squash, kale, and other roasted veggies leftover from meals throughout the week.  I also make sure to have already washed salad greens, sprouts, and other fresh veggies like carrots, cucumbers, and red peppers to add a little crunch..  It’s all about making sure the meal is balanced: good quality protein, healthy carbs, and fresh veggies.  Different colors and textures make eating more fun and interesting.

Breakfast bowls have been my new obsession lately.  Basically I throw whatever veggies I have on hand into a bowl, top it with a pastured eggs, and drizzle it with some awesome sauce.  So satisfying and filling. My go to sauce has been a lemon tahini sauce that I whip up in just seconds with my hand immersion blender, but today’s recipe has a special sauce that my friend Kristi calls Magic Sauce.

Our family spend last weekend in Tahoe, California with our dear friends.  Little Pearl had never seen the snow, and we decided that it was about time that we took her up to play in the snow.  Can you tell she enjoyed herself?

My favorite part of traveling is sharing food with friends and family.  While in Tahoe, we did just that.  We shared several delicious meals and lots of fun conversation.  And during one of those meals, my friend, Kristi, introduced me to her Magic Sauce.  I’m in love!  Thanks, Kristi, for the recipe! I want to drizzle this yummy goodness on EVERYTHING!!!

OK, so back to that veggie breakfast bowl.  I made this one with leftover from the fridge, like I said.  But in case you don’t have leftover sweet potatoes and kale, I included the simple steps to prepare them both.  This powerhouse of protein, vitamins, and minerals will keep you fueled for hours.  And can also be served for dinner.  Anyone else love BFD?  (That’s breakfast for dinner, in case you didn’t know. )

What’s fun about a breakfast bowl is that you can add any veggies or protein that you like.  So think out of the box when it comes to breakfast.  Leftover dinner veggies are delish in the morning.  I sometimes even add a bit of bacon or homemade breakfast sausage.

Cook your eggs any way that make you happy.  Sometimes I like mine fried.  Other days, I prefer them poached.  Did you see my post of how to poach the perfect egg?  Other days, I grab and already hard boiled eggs from the fridge.

Hope you are all staying cozy, dry, and warm this winter season.  Thanks for stopping by!
