Every morning Monkey number one requests a poached egg on toast no butter.
My rule is if you are at the breakfast table before seven you get what you order- After that it's chef's choice, which is usually cereal.
I love poached eggs on pumpernickel with some avocado and lots of pepper.
I love putting pepper on fruit- and this arugula, apple, purple cabbage and feta cheese salad is no exception.
This is a brie, pear, spinach panini- also great with avocado.
I got a huge zucchini at the farmers market and stuffed it with some tofu, left over corn- off the cob, broccoli and parmesan. After cutting and gutting the zucchini I added salt and olive oil and let it roast on broil for a few minutes then added the stuffing and roasted at 400c for twenty minutes.
We ate it with whole wheat cous cous- mint on the side for those who are offended by green!
And just so you don't think I make my poor monkeys eat healthy food all the time:
Here is a monkey's choice dinner that Monkey Two picked up from Target:
Ahem- Hamburger Helper (with turkey)
Mashed cauliflower and beans ( not monkey choice!)

Avocado and poached eggs = delicious! Yummy posts! xx
Delicious! Going for the avocado poached egg combo myself:)
OH, mmmm, this post is making me so hungry! I love putting pepper on things too, and absolutely love avocados.
Thanks so much for the swap link and heads-up for deadline extension - I just downsized b/c of moving, but will see what fun extras I might be able to swap!
The only thing I can see that is lacking, are raisin eyes and an avocado shaped mouth on the poached egg.
Now seriously-everything looks delicious AND nutritious. I am having poached egg with avacado for breakfast tomorrow. Thank you for the inspiration.

YUM! Love all this healthy good food! And your rule about being at the breakfast table by 7 and ordering is pure awesomeness! I put fresh cracked pepper on everything too. It's SO good with avocado!
Your post made me so hungry! Avocado with poached eggs is possibly the world's most perfect meal. YUM.
Yum! I love your breakfast rule.
My girls love avacado but I've not ever served it with eggs. I'll have to give it a try.
You know I have never tried avocado with egg....now I will....
Oh, delicious! I want to come to breakfast at your house (and I'll get to the table before 7 for sure!). XX!
I USED to make breakfast for my boys. Egg scrambles, pancakes, french toast, but these days the only thing they actually will eat is cereal. Easy, but not much fun!
I'll take two of your version of the poached egg on toast! PLEASE!!!
Oh yummy! I would love to have breakfast at your house! Your monkeys are so very lucky to have you!
Oh wow.. lucky Monkeys!! It's posts like these that makes me miss my mummy.. she's in another country and I want to request for some food too!!!!
I love this idea which makes kids wake up earlier:D
If I woke up at 7 I would choose sandwich with egg avocado and pepper:D
hugs from above the buckwheat-oat-flax-seed porridge with milk;)

I want to sleep over at your house, just for the breakfasts!! That avocado egg& toast thingy looks amazing!
These all look so good! Especially the brie, pear, spinach panini!!
I am a newbie vegetarian and this all looks delish! I'm going to look for your green post about the plastic. Thanks again for coming by!! I don't make it over as often as I'd like.
;-(

p.s. are you on Twitter?
Monkeys are so funny! Love the 7 O' clock rule.
I'm so craving hamburger helper now! Love seeing what's on the menu... ♥
My kid puts pepper on EVERYTHING!
Pepper on fruit? Now that sounds interesting. I love egg on toast! But with butter, please!
Oh my, lady, can I come over for breakfast? :) I promise to make it to the table at 6:30! (On the other hand, do one gets to order more food if they come at 6?) lol
You put me to shame. At the moment, it's mostly fish fingers or pasta for dinner. Little L is going through a phase of saying NO (actually, she says NEIN) to everything I offer her. More beans for me then...
your food posts all look delish! i love avocado on anything. any tips for a perfectly poached egg? eggs benedict are my go-to choice when we are out for brunch, but i've never attempted them at home.
