I’m probably the last to know this – but have you heard that they’ve cancelled Saturday morning cartoons? I suppose on-demand or Netflixed cartoons are probably more convenient, but I am still sad to hear the news. Growing up (without cable), Saturday morning cartoons were what my sister and I looked forward to all week. Pancakes, cereal commercials, the whole bit. Jack and I still have a weekend ritual – although our “cartoon” is Shark Tank instead of Muppet Babies, and our breakfast is usually eggs instead of pancakes.
This recipe is a great “use up what you have” kind of breakfast. Butternut squash is the base here, but as you can see I threw in zucchini, kale, and other veggies that I happened to have on hand. I know what you’re thinking – who wants to wake up and roast squash first thing in the morning? I usually don’t, but this is a great way to repurpose leftover roasted squash (or sweet potato) cubes. Cook everything in your skillet along with herbs and spices. Because it’s fall, I like to use rosemary or sage. Top it all with eggs, pour some coffee, and go get cozy on the sofa.
