The final week of the Dark Days Challenge is focused on breakfast. We’ve done a bunch of breakfast posts, so we were a bit stumped.
I wanted to do another baked good, but didn’t want to split two dozen muffins or a whole coffee cake with Erik over the next two days.
Yogurt and granola parfait with strawberries? I just couldn’t decide. So then I forgot all about it…
….until this morning. I was out for a run in the beautiful almost-spring weather and remembered. Dang it! So here’s what I had for breakfast – two poached eggs on leftover mixed green salad with sunflower thyme pesto. Completely local, but maybe not breakfast-y enough for some people. It totally hit the spot for me, though. Maybe I’ll have a muffin for lunch to even things out. 
WOW – that looks so good. I’m huge fan of poached eggs over greens!
Me too! Good thing it’s relatively healthy, because I could eat that combo just about every day!
