October 15
The name of the breakfast game for Jude is always "Eggs!", and we happen to have picked up some beautiful ones from the farm yesterday.
My eye was also caught by some lovely purple mizuna that had managed to push through the last of the summer heat. Hiding greens in things Jude already loves has become an art for me, and eggs are a great vehicle for sneaky vegetables. Mizuna is an amazing nutrient dense green. For starters, it's packed with vitamin C, iron, and folate as well as special cancer fighting antioxidants. It has this fantastically exotic mustard-like flavor and yet much more mild than your average mustard green, making it stealthy enough to sneak into a toddler's breakfast.
Simply chop or tear and toss into a skillet with olive oil and a couple of eggs and you have a delicious, nutritious, and toddler friendly breakfast! If I were to go ahead and give myself a "Mommy grade" for the day, I'd like to think this would put me at about a 9 out of 10 :)
