Breakfast Greens+Eggs

I am a long time Southern girl at heart and nothing is better than a big breakfast of eggs and grits with butter and cheese. I could eat it everyday. However, corn does not love me back. It is about as inflammatory as brown rice. I will enjoy it on a cold weekend but I’m aware of the consequences. I can deal with a severe bloating and achy knees and fingers knowing it will go away by Monday.

I still love my eggs, over easy. I just now put them on top of sautéed greens. I need garlic and lemon to make it worth my time but the final product is worth of a long Saturday morning watching Food Network and Alabama pre-game shows.
