Miss Emily's Munchie Madness Monday (Posted on a Tuesday...)

Julia has made a resolution to eat food that is organic or local and I'm going to kick off MEMMM with one of my favorite local meals.

My favorite meal of any weekend day is breakfast. There's nothing quite like the taste of a warm, runny egg yolk or a maple syrup drenched piece of whole grain pancake. Of course, I often forget that eggs, bacon, sausage, grapefruit, orange juice, waffles, pancakes and the like aren't solely breakfast foods and it's rare that I really take the time to eat a nice breakfast.

So, as was customary in my home as a child, I sometimes have breakfast for dinner. And not just any breakfast, but a locally-grown/raised and organic breakfast. J and I had breakfast for lunch the other day and here's what we made:

  • Whole grain blueberry pancakes-locally made pancake mix and local, organic blueberries and local syrup
  • Over-medium fried eggs-local, free-range eggs
  • Maple sausage-local, "all natural" sausages

Miss Emily, who has proven to love tasty human snacks such as Smartfood popcorn, took a peculiar interest in J's sausage links. As a test, we fed her a tiny piece and she just wouldn't leave us alone afterward! She was so persistent that J finally gave in and offered her an entire link.




She was a rabid little thing...




Overall, Emily gives this meal a 7 out of 10. While it could be healthier, it's local farm friendly and tastes great!
