Moxy Thoughts

It’s swim season and that means that we’re waking up before 5AM and packing an SUV full of gear that helps us spend 8 hours sitting outside of a high school pool.  I know that may not sound fantastic, but honestly, it’s amazing to get to watch our boys love the sport and be a part of a great team with terrific coaches.  But, the early starts are SUPER hard for me – I’m a night owl!  So, the way I handle all of the crazy early starts is by making really satisfying breakfast foods that make us all feel comfortable as we watch the sunrise on a Saturday morning.

Tomorrow is our first swim meet of the season and it looks like the weather is going to be perfect, a bit cool in the morning and not ridiculously hot in the mid day.  So, I’m thinking a savory quiche loaded with our newly harvested zucchini, fresh herbs from our garden and the meaty deliciousness of chicken sausage would make for a perfect breakfast that everyone loves.  It has no crust and no carbs, just full of nutrients and proteins (and a little fat from the cheese!).

Good luck making this easy quiche and actually waiting until morning to eat it – I almost always take a slice before I can put it into the refrigerator because the cheese is just so melty when it comes out of the oven.
