Happy New Year.

I’ve started over many times. New houses, new towns, new countries, new jobs… but has any of that prepared me for this new life without the person I’ve shared so many of those milestones with?  With the amazing love of my kids and our incredible friends, I can feel the hope of a new day. I now start the journey of learning who I am without T. What foods do I like? Where do I want to live? What do I want to do for the rest of my days? No matter what the answers are, I know my shattered heart will slowly mend, hopefully much like the kintsugi; the cracks will always be visible, but maybe the whole person will be someone I am proud of, someone you can be proud of. Thank you for being on this journey with me. Here’s to learning about who I am-

Fried Curd Scrambled Eggs

• 2 T best quality cottage cheese
• Pepper Jack Cheese, shredded
• 1/2 tsp Garlic salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Heat oil in a small cast iron skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs in a bowl and whisk until frothy. Place cottage cheese in hot skillet; cook 1 minute; gently turn with silicone spatula. Pour eggs over top, add seasonings and pepper jack. Place lid over top, cooking eggs to desired doneness. Drizzle with garlic pepper oil and enjoy.
