Breakfast Success!

I actually got to eat this morning!  And it was really yummy.  For my older two, plates were cleaned and a bit of an extra portion even asked for.  My younger two are still plugging along but that's normal for them and supposedly, little people eat slower than us big folks.  So, just trying to keep them motivated to eat quickly so they can get on with the day because momma has lots to do and I've got to get school work in there somewhere too.

This morning's breakfast was originally going to be one thing but evolved into my own creation and I am so glad I did it the way I did.  Cauliflower Hashbrown Pancakes with Fried Egg and of course, a nice ice cold glass of milk.

• Half a head of cauliflower
• 2-3 small potatoes
• 2-3 Tbsp of flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• Pepper to taste
• Crushed red pepper flakes to taste (I don't use a lot since my little ones are not fans of spicy food)
• 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
• 1 and 1/2 tsp of dried onion
• Diced Bacon
• Oil (Coconut oil is good for this)

Grate the cauliflower and potatoes together (I used a hand grater because I like the texture of it better than a food processor).  Brown bacon and drain (I used turkey bacon so I didn't have anything to drain).  Add to the cauliflower and potato.  Add in egg and mix to blend.  Add flour and seasonings and mix thoroughly.  

Pat into firm balls, like making meat balls and then put onto a greased non-stick griddle pan that has already been heated up to about medium high.  Press them flat and with spatula, press sides in together to form a pancake shape.  Cook until golden brown, flip and repeat.  Add more oil if needed.

Clean off griddle, add more oil and cook eggs to liking.  If frying, it tends to be better if I do one at a time, two if I'm feelin' lucky!  I prefer to leave the yolks runny so that I have a nice sauce to dip the cakes into or to have the egg on top of and run over.
