Poached Eggs and sauteed kale for breakfast

I'm not very big of sweet for breakfast kind of girl but I really love a savory breakfast and this one was also very healthy. I was so excited to use my home made bread for the toast and my home made chicken stock to saute the kale. The picture isn't the best best but trust me it was really good. I found the recipe on Foodwoolf if you want to try it for yourself.

Coconut French Toast with Apples

Spiced French Toast with Apple Compote and Coconut

Ingredients:

6 slices challah bread

2 large eggs

1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp coconut milk

1 Tbsp agave syrup or honey

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp cardamom

1/2 tsp nutmeg

pinch of sea salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

coconut oil

2 medium sized honeycrisp apples

1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp agave syrup

pinch of sea salt

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cardamom

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup golden raisins

1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut milk, agave syrup, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, sea salt and vanilla. In another shallow bowl, fill with coconut flakes. Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium heat and add a bit of coconut oil to lightly coat the pan. Dip each piece of bread in the egg mixture, coating both sides, and letting soak in slightly, then dip into coconut. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden. To prepare apples, in a saucepan over medium heat, cook apples, agave syrup, sea salt and spices until apples have softened, about 10 minutes. Add golden raisins and cook until plumped, then add vanilla. Place bread on the plates and top each with half the apple mixture. You can also srinkle some extra coconut flakes on top.

This was really tasty considering I'm not much of a sweet breakfast person. I usually like more of a savory breakfast but if there is coconut involved can't pass that up!

On another note....a friend of mine has just told me about this studio in Columbus and it's called the Tracey Gardner Method. It's sort of a combination of Yoga and Pilates in a hot room. I have to admit I was skeptical until I saw her site and photos of her. She is so lean and defined and she never lifts weights! I've decided to give it a try next week. I will let you know how it goes!
