About: Hi, my name is Moira. I've been with Psychic Source for since October 26, 2005. As one of the Astrologers with Psychic Source I will occasionally write about the planetary dance. Dates are especially significant to me and I look to the stars and the interactions of the planets when I am making major decisions. On my first day with Psychic Source, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good luck entered Scorpio and my eighth house of partnerships. The celestial connections did not disappoint! Psychic Source continues to be a wonderful family and all around great place to BE! When I'm not "on the line" I enjoy a quite life. My husband and I live on a small farmette with our horses, dogs, and cat. Our home is at the end of a long (half mile) lane. One of my passions is gardening and my healing garden includes favorite perennials, herbs, and vegetables. Like many gardeners, I love to cook and I especially enjoy receiving your recipes! Those who know me well would describe me as a book worm. It's true I love to read, anything and everything. Long before I began to use my psychic ability professionally, I read everything I could find about Astrology, higher metaphysics, and history. One of my "Blog goals" is to share insights and book reviews with you from time to time. The Psychic Source Blog is the place to keep in touch and share your ideas. I like to think of Blogging as the virtual Salon; a gathering or an ongoing conversation with the purpose of pleasing and educating. I feel very blessed to have connected with many of you through phone readings and I hope to hear from you via the blog soon!See Authors Posts (15)

 

 

Virgos are an earth sign, ruled by Mercury they are organized, creative and ready to take on the task at hand. When I think of the Sun entering Virgo, I think of the first day of school and new beginnings. Virgo cooks like to be prepared! My Mother in Law is a Virgo. She and I have shared many happy hours in the kitchen and she has helped me to become more organized, encouraging me to make notes and write my recipes in a folder rather than keeping them in my head.

 

One of my favorite recipes from her kitchen is this wonderful German Farmer’s Breakfast, also known as Bauernfruhstuck.  It’s a hearty meal and great served with fresh fruit and coffee. I love to serve this to my family and guests; once your guests enjoy this dish, they will feel like family too!

 

Recipes for Bauernfruhstuck vary, but each version uses eggs, breakfast meat or cheese, onions and greens. As with all Bauernfruhstuck the measurements of ingredients can vary with your tastes. Enjoy!

 

Bauernfruhstuck (German Farmer’s Breakfast)

 

Ingredients

2 large red potatoes, washed and quartered lengthwise

2 Tbsp Ghee or cooking oil

1 small sweet onion chopped

freshly ground pepper to taste

1 cup cooked ham, 1 inch cubed

1 bunch chopped Spinach

1 bunch chopped Arugula

4 eggs, whisked

1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese

 

Directions

1. Boil the red potatoes in a saucepan of lightly salted water for 10-15 minutes until partially cooked. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool. (These can be cooked the night before.) Cut into 1-inch squares. Set aside.

 

2. Heat the Ghee (or oil) in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the onions . Increase the heat to medium-high and gently brown the onion , stirring frequently, about 2-3 minutes.

 

3. Push the vegetables to the side of the pan; add the potatoes and additional ghee (or olive oil) to the pan. Brown the potatoes for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the ham to the potatoes and cook, stirring frequently until the ham is heated through, 1-2 minutes.

 

4. Reduce the heat to Medium. Mix all of the onion, potato and ham together and mix in the spinach and arugula. Add the eggs, stirring to distribute the eggs among the vegetables and ham. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

As soon as eggs begin to firm up, remove from heat.

 

Serve immediately!

What an interesting name! sounds really terrific,I think I will make it without the ham, as I have not eaten meat or chicken for over two decades! It is really encouraging to know that there are happy married couples out there, and that you actually care for your mother in law! Don’t forget to watch “Julia and Julia” the film about the late Julia Childs, who had the cooking show, and was a real character! ir stars Meryl Streep. I wish they would make a show of all the out takes, or bloopers, it would be a real laugh!
