Chefs Breakfast

This is breakfast. 2 Soft boiled eggs, crispy bacon cups, sauteed mushrooms, avocado, quality cheese, toast on the side, and 2 cups of coffee.

To make bacon cups:
Cook bacon in the oven on a sheet tray at 350F until it looks done
Right when you pull it out of the oven bend the hot pliable bacon into circles and lean the seam against the side of the sheet tray.
Let cool and serve as egg cups.

Getting Juiced

Along with my produce delivery today Loo Loo Farms in Paso Robles gave me some Raw Fuji Apple Juice. It was semi frozen so I shook it up and made a slushy!
Thank You Zina!
