The Western Breakfast

This is an extended dish building on from Quick and Easy Breakfast

As busy University students, we often miss out time for breakfast, the most important meal of the day. With late nights, early classes, and long travelling times to and from campus, we usually have under an hour to wake up, get ready, and grab a bite to eat as we rush out the door to start our day. This means that many of us either spend money at McDonald's for breakfast every morning or skip breakfast altogether. Neither options are healthy for our hardworking student bodies.

This week, I am featuring a quick and easy breakfast inspired by traditional English Full Breakfast. Even though this dish does require at least a fork to eat, it can be easily transported en route to campus and eaten on the bus as needed. Or, if you have a little bit more time since you decided to wake up early for once, set it out on a plate and indulge every bite of this amazing breakfast as if you are at a high end restaurant. Either way, this breakfast can be put together in less than 20 minutes.

Just a little note. The Western Breakfast can last you well after lunch time!

Ingredients:

2 Eggs

1/2 Avocado, sliced

2 Sausages, sliced

1/2 can of Heinz Beans in Tomato Sauce

1 Yukon Gold Potato, diced

Salt and Pepper, to taste

1 Teaspoon of Milk

1-2 Teaspoon of Olive Oil

Instructions:

Step 1: Bring a small pot to boil and diced potatoes for 5 minutes. This helps cook the potatoes through a little faster

Step 2: In a pan, heat oil to medium heat and saute sausages until a slight brown can be seen on the surface. Remove sausages and set aside on a plate. Do not drain oil.

Step 3: Remove potatoes from the pot and transfer them to the pan. Allow the potatoes to have a golden brown surface before removing from heat. Sprinkle a dash of salt and pepper and mix it well onto the potatoes as it cooks. In a bowl, beat eggs and add salt and pepper. Add milk into the mixture and mix well.

Step 4: Drain water from pot and add canned beans. Simmer according to directions on the package.

Step 5: Once potatoes are golden brown, remove them from the pan and set aside on plate. Put eggs onto pan and cook until fully cooked. Use a spatula to keep pushing the mixture towards the centre of the pan as it coagulates. Set egg aside on plate once finished.

Step 6: Place avocados on the centre of your plate and enjoy!

Good luck and have a wonderful morning!

Whistler Features: MOOOOOOOO!

On a hot sunny day next to mother nature, one can only imagine relaxing under the trees...eating ice cream! ...At least that was me. While on my trip in Whistler, I had a chance to stop by their specialty ice cream store: Cows. Cows is nothing like your ordinary ice cream shop. It has a central utter theme to it. Nearly EVERYTHING in the shop is Cow related. Take this "Moovenger" shirt for example. I killed myself laughing with all the Cow puns in the store. Since Cows is famous for their ice cream, I decided to try their Oreo Cookie Ice Cream and Cookie Dough Ice Cream. I finally understood why there are always long line ups for ice cream out the door. The ice cream was DELICIOUS! It was soft enough to eat, yet hard enough to retain its perfect spherical shape. I also loved how their ice cream contains just the right amount of Oreo cookies and cookie dough. Many ice cream shops often serve ice cream with too little toppings mixed in. Another great perk of Cows is that ...

Popbar: Sweet Treats on a Stick

After a nice biking trip around Vancouver, I took the skytrain to Popbar at Metrotown to enjoy a small treat. Popbar is an unique dessert bar that sells frozen treats, from gelato to sorbets, on a stick. With many flavours to choose from, this new dessert place is the place to go on a hot, sunny day. For myself, I got the vanilla pop Gelato dipped in dark chocolate and no toppings (I like my gelato as plain as possible). And, as expected, it was DELICIOUS. The flavour was just right; not too sweet, not too milky, just enough to bring out the taste of vanilla with the crunchiness and bitterness of the dark chocolate fudge. Check out Popbar on your next sunny day out!
