Before I was pregnant, I ate after my morning workout (usually 1.5 hours after I get up). Breakfast is usually a fruit smoothie or an egg with oatmeal.

Now that I'm pregnant, I have to eat the second I get up. I have a small bowl of cereal, workout, then have a smoothie.

I don't feel like I'm ready to leave the house if I haven't eaten breakfast!

I LOVE smoked salmon, but I do find that the smoked flavor mellows a bit when you heat it up. Some of my recipes: Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese & Spinach Empanadas

and Smoked Salmon, Caper & Goat Cheese Pasta

This Curried Egg Salad from 101 Cookbooks sounds bizarre, but is actually amazing: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/curried-egg-salad-recipe.html

Thanks!

@charybdis112 - I'm really glad you liked them! I've been getting so many in my CSA box that I had to come up with a new way to prepare them. Of course my mind went straight to pork...

I made it too and it was dangerously addicting! I used ginger sugar instead of the brown and subbed almonds for sunflower seeds. I also added a bit more salt for a salty/sweet thing. It was amazing.

Also, pound for pound, much less than the granola I usually buy.

Spanish chorizo is cooked, then dried - so it doesn't need to be refrigerated. It has the characteristic bright red color is heavily spiced with paprika. Portuguese chourico is similar to Spanish chorizo.

Mexican chorizo is usually fresh (not dried) and flavored with different seasonings (not paprika). The kind Whole Foods sells at the meat counter is Mexican chorizo (and is delicious with eggs and flour tortillas!).

Just thought I'd point out the difference.

Who voted for Lisa? Herself and her partner? Ugh.

@art - I LOOOOVE your tile! It's beautiful! In fact, I love the whole kitchen :)

@SisterRae - Beautiful kitchen! I agree that the open kitchen actually keeps people out of the way, but still close enough to chat.

@art

We had no popcorn - thank GOD! But we did have a couple of those drop ceilings. They were the first to go! I don't envy your weather. I lived in Boston for 4 years and NYC for 4 years and am very glad to be back in the sub-tropics :)

No window in my kitchen, but it's completely open to the living and dining rooms. We have a whole wall of windows and another wall of sliding doors. If I look right when I'm standing at the stove, I can see the ocean.

We bought the place because of its windows and light (even if we did have to tear out all the walls in the kitchen)!
