I always say, my food is my mood accordingly I try to never go out without breakfast, even when I have 0 time I grab a banana or make myself a smoothie because starting the day without breakfast ruin my whole day ... seriously :)
My morning ritual start with my first breakfast which is almost all the time oats and my second breakfast is always eggs, I am very active person and the protein boost keep my body and mind in good balance but cooking oats and eggs every single day make it boring and since I get bored REALLY fast I had to find away to stick to my rituals because without routine there is no discipline, accordingly I had to be creative on making my breakfasts.
One of my egg dishes is a traditional Arabic dish, all countries have it in some way, it is slightly different but it consist of the same things; onions, tomato and eggs, and since I don't like onions in my eggs (specially in the morning ... daaah!) and like to add veggies as much as I can I came up with my own version of shakshoka ... please don't ask me about the name :P
