Whats better or fresher than a breakfast that you grow from your own garden? I can't think of many other options. When I visited home I was able to prepare amazing meals with ingredients that were in my own back yard! Trust me, I miss that luxury being back in the city =(. If your like me and trapped in a city, getting fresh veggies from Trader Joes, Whole foods or a farmers market works just as well for these two recipes! ENJOY!
