Savory Veggie Breakfast Bowls with Herb Olive Oil Drizzle {Paleo-friendly}

So here we are, another recipe on Tasty Yummies where I leave a lot of the decision-making to you guys. I have to say these end of being my favorite recipes, in a lot of ways. It’s not due to a laziness on my part, more, it’s that this has always been my approach to cooking in my own kitchen and to teaching others in their own unique culinary journeys. I always want to give you the tools to make the right decisions for you, your unique desires and/or your dietary needs. My hope is that I can always help to empower you to feel confident in the kitchen, to try new things, to get adventurous and make decisions on the fly and who knows, maybe even jump outside of your comfort zone at times.

Our nutritional needs can vary just as wildly as our fingerprints. This is why I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition and eating, it simply can’t work. I don’t believe in slapping a label on my diet, following an arbitrary set of rules and ignoring my body’s intuitive response to food.  That said, the fundamentals and foundations that we know to be true, can absolutely be applied across the board, with many little variations along the way. I think this is what I love about food so much, it can be tweaked, the details shifted to suit your needs, cravings, desires and even location – the sky truly is the limit.

I don’t know about you guys, but I really enjoy breakfasts like this, as I can get everything I need in one bowl and it’s always a really delicious way to use up what I have in the fridge without falling into a breakfast rut. That Herb Olive Oil Drizzle alone takes the dish to another level. It’s easy to revert to boring breakfast options, the same ‘ol, same ‘ol or worse, to choose something that’s fast and easy, loaded with sugar and refined carbs – which we all know is just setting you up for a day of misery.

This customizable Savory Veggie Breakfast Bowls with Herb Olive Oil Drizzle is a delicious, nutrient-rich way to start the day! I hope you love it as much as I do and are inspired to create your own version.

    This looks awesome..wanted to share my version of something similar.. I saute a handful of cherry tomatoes in pastured butter or EVOO along with a handful of greens, then add the eggs and scramble everything, top with nutritional yeast and seasonings. All takes less than 5 mins to make. I am going to add your olive oil drizzle. Great recipe idea and thanks for posting.

    Oh my gosh, I feel like every time I give someone a “recipe” it’s use chicken or beef or pork and pick your own veggies…and I felt bad about it. Thanks for making me not feel bad about it! Perhaps it’s because I am more of a use a recipe as a guideline person and not a stick to a recipe at all costs person…and I know that not everyone sees cooking that way!
