I had a very specific schedule planned out for this morning. When Munchkie woke up I was going to get her, do my 20 minute exercise DVD with her "assistance," shower and make it to church for Sunday School. Due to my schedule and our traveling I have not been able to go to our church since the beginning of December. Isn't that crazy? We really wanted to start participating more at church and we haven't been able to because I've been working. When I woke up, went downstairs and started to brush my teeth, the water just stopped. I turned the faucet off and on and nothing. Nothing from the kitchen sink either. Oh boy. There went all of my perfectly scheduled plans. No water= not good. You don't realize how much you use rely on water. I can't shower, I can't brush my teeth, I can't wash my scrubs (which are all dirty and I have to work tonight), and I feel amazingly dehydrated since I have limited water to drink.
So when I get frustrated or stressed, I like to cook/bake. Even though it meant that I would end up with dishes that couldn't be washed I decided to make something for breakfast. It ended up being tasty.
I chopped up a couple tomatoes, sweet peppers and 4 cloves of garlic.
I sauteed the garlic in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and then added the peppers. After they got slightly soft I added the tomatoes and about 1/4 cup black beans. I know this may be weird, but I push the veggies around the outside of the pan and then pour the eggs in the middle to cook for a little bit. I used 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites that were scrambled with a dash of milk, chili powder, paprika, cumin and freeze dried cilantro (bad choice, wish I had fresh).
Then I added just a little bit of shredded cheese once everything was cooked.
Munchkie's Daddy had his in a wrap with hot sauce to spice it up more.
I just put mine in a bowl with some more cilantro. Munchkie and I were supposed to share, but she decided that she didn't want any once we sat down to eat it.
And so she ended up with a more toddler friendly breakfast.
This ended up being so filling neither one of us could finish it! Quite yummy I would have to say. I think it made our lack of water just a little more bearable. Now the water can decide to start running at any time. That would be nice.
