People often ask me what I eat, or peer with interest at my lunch if I'm out and about. Visiting friends rub their hands together and ask what we might be having for supper tonight?
We love to know about other people and sharing what we eat is a great way to inspire and share our personal food culture. So this week, I'm going to try and share at least one meal a day with you, and hope that you'll do the same. There may not be photos as I'm short on time...
Breakfast today was...
Swiss chard cooked in chicken stock & scrambled buttered eggs, scattered with raw cherry tomatoes, raw red pepper and flat leaf parsley, oh and a pinch of sea salt.
What are you eating today?

Is it that no one is eating breakfast these days, or is it perhaps that the breakfasts we are eating are less than ideal? I was looking forward to lots of yummy breakfast ideas!
Scrambled eggs with veggies is a basic staple around here, so I didn't have much to add. As I am currently 25 weeks pregnant, I am starting to worry about the eggs-every-day thing since my first daughter is intolerant to eggs (is it because I ate eggs every day of the last pregnancy, hmmm...).
I have been craving pumpkin porridge, but I think that the glycemic load would be too much for a breakfast since I have a bit of insulin resistance first thing in the morning and need hearty, protein filled something to keep the glucose levels stable throughout the day. Pumpkin porridge with a side of sausage?
I ordered chestnut flour last week to make some yummy egg-free sour-dough pancakes! I am certainly looking forward to that.
Dear Jennifer - I have been eating breakfasts and forgetting to make time to write about them! I'll rectify that now...
I wouldn't think that eating eggs would make your daughter intolerant, she's more likely to have just picked up an atopic constitution from you along the way. Eggs are traditionally eaten as a fertility food and the vitamin A in them helps to develop a nice wide palate and avoid crowded teeth.
If you're concerned, just eat the yolk and leave the white, as the protein in the white (albumin) is what most people develop an intolerance for. The yolk is the part with all the fat soluble vitamins in.
Sourdough pancakes! Yum!
