Ultimate Egg Sandwich

by

Gourmet Egg Sandwich

I’ve had such a fun few months working with HEB Primo Picks. Whenever I received their package, I was both challenged and inspired by the grouping of products they selected.  This month’s package included a product that instantly reminded me of a sandwich I had during a San Fran trip. Bacon jam, meet egg sandwich.

Goat Cheese & Bacon Jam

Although the San Fran sandwich had actual bacon and not jam, the bacon jam triggered a craving for egg and arugula.  And goat cheese and tomato.

Homemade Egg Sandwich

I stacked all the ingredients on an extra thin sandwich bun {toasted} and went to town eating breakfast for dinner.  The bacon jam added umami and spice while maintaining the overall lightness of the sandwich.  I dug it.

As part of the HEB Primo Picks team, I received compensation to sample various Primo Picks products. The opinions in this post are completely my own and based on my experience.

Christmas Party Recovery

by

Last night was the first company Christmas party I had attended since 2008. The construction industry was full of doom and gloom and I just didn’t have it in me to get all dolled up just to chat about recent and upcoming layoffs.  Kinda killed the Christmas spirit, ya know?

This year was different.  The doom was replaced by hope and chatter of layoffs was replaced by chatter of new babies.  The setup was tasteful, the food was tasty and the cocktails…  Well, the cocktails went down a little too easy.

We even kept the celebration going by heading to Fly Bar afterward!

But continuing the party made for a super sluggish Saturday morning.  Green tea, Earth Balance noodles, and nap.  No bueno.

I woke up from the nap feeling like a new person and craving my favorite breakfast: egg and avocado on a sprouted wheat english muffin.  I changed it up by sprinkling with crushed red pepper.  Yum!

Now off to meet Lex, who just moved back from Texas!!
