I saw a version of this recipe in the Kind Diet and I thought I would make my own adaptation. My mouth was watering just by looking at the pictures. You don't have to make every thing I have listed, these are just options. Each picture is from a different breakfast. I have to admit I thought that it was odd having bake beans on toast, but that was actually my favorite thing! Now when I need a quick lunch I'll just warm up a can of beans and I am ready. Avocado is probably not in a traditional English breakfast, but I had some leftover guacamole that I needed to use up, so it worked perfectly. My second favorite ingredient were the mushrooms! It's amazing how a little butter can make mushrooms so tasty! It took me awhile to get use to eating greens for breakfast, but they are actually pretty good and because I know they are good for me it's even better! I just tried the Russian kale for the first time this week and I think it's my favorite green. It's a lot more mellow than most greens and it's even good in a sandwich. I just starting drinking twig tea. It's really good for you and it's a good alternative to coffee because it has a dark earthy taste.
