Fun Food

Yambrowns with avocado and farm fresh eggs in cast iron

Who says food has to be boring? Our evening meal one night last week wasn’t planned that way, but it ended up being “fun food.”

Hashbrowns, made with 75% garnet yam and 25% red potato, pre-cooked with fresh ginger, red bell pepper and sweet onion, create the nest for avocado halves (nesting them in this way helps to keep them level for your eggs). A few minutes under the broiler to get the egg whites cooked through completely, and you are ready to dish up sunshine on a plate!

We commonly use zucchini, rather than red potato, but I forgot to get some out of the freezer before I started preparing our “fast real food.” Sweet potatoes work just as well, if that’s what you have on hand. A few turns on the pepper grinder finish it off with multi-peppercorn goodness.

We are blessed to be able to buy farm fresh eggs from friends all year long, and this is one of our favorite ways to incorporate them into a healthy, real-food eating plan.

Filled through and through with healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, moderate carbs – and great taste – this dish is easy to make and a joy to eat!

Thank you, Lord, for your abundant provision and the knowledge we have available to us to eat healthy foods.
