Weekends = brunch!

Seriously... one of my favorite things about weekends. Sometimes I don't even get my day started 'til well after noon because I'm sleeping in and cooking.

Yesterday, I was ogling the beautiful swiss chard I received for my farm share.

Ohhh... the colors.... the pretty colors...

I felt like destroying something beautiful, so I chopped it, sautéed it, and baked it into a "frittata". This is one of those dishes where I hate calling it something that is 100% not vegan by definition, but that's what the recipe I used called it. (see: Swiss Chard Frittata in Vegan Brunch.) A frittata is an egg dish similar to quiche or an omelet, and it's usually pan fried. This, however, is made with tofu, and it is baked. Let's just call it... squished tofu mixed with deliciousness, pressed into a pan, and baked. 

Yah.

Next, we have an out-of-focus picture of the kitty.

Cool. Okay, so this morning, I made one of my two default breakfasts. The first is tofu scramble, which is cliché, I know, but I make a damn good one. I'm sure that one will show its face in this blog soon enough. My second most common breakfast is potatoes.

This is an adaptation of a dish my dad used to make. He made it with potatoes, onion, garlic, and paprika. I usually like to add the Twin Oaks veggie chorizo, but I've had that a lot lately, and I'm out. Instead, I used an Anaheim pepper from the farm share. Sometimes I'll use mushrooms, and Webber will often throw in broccoli or cauliflower when he makes it. Cayenne pepper is a must, and I think I've finally mastered the skill of not putting in too much of it.

Check out the chickpeas soaking in the background. I'm about to make some hummus. :-)
