I’m Baaaaaack – Florentine Eggs on English Muffins

April 20, 2012  •  Breakfast,

I’m back! You might not have even known I was away, as I worked extra hard to schedule blog posts while I was gone. Silly me – I should have known to schedule a few for the week after I got back knowing how the jet lag would knock me on my butt. I’m not complaining, though. That’s just a very small price to pay for the incredible trip I had.

We flew to Vienna first, spent a few days there, then headed to Salzburg to meet up with my college best friend (and roommate for 3 years) and her husband. From there, we all drove to Prague, stopping in Cesky Krumlov along the way. After a few wonderful days in Prague we flew to Milan and drove up to Bellagio on Lake Como for the final few days of our trip. The trip was spectacular – the cities, the experiences, the friends, the laughter, the food – and I’ll tell you all about it in a few upcoming posts I’m working on.In the meantime, I felt the need to return to some healthier food choices. The travel books weren’t wrong in describing that part of Europe as having a meat-centric diet. And although the schnitzel, tafelspitz, goulash, pig’s knee, and sausages were delicious, I needed a break upon returning home. I figured starting my day with a nice whole wheat English muffin with some eggs and spinach was a perfect choice, and I just thought you might like the idea also. Enjoy the weekend!
