The mornings in my house are one of the most chaotic part of our day. Depending on what type of morning we have usually determines how our day will be. I run my life by the clock and bus times, this is something I really am trying to work on changing. For me breakfast is the most important meal to have together. Whether it's for a short period of time or long. I have noticed that since cooking together Isaiah has also really valued the time we eat together.On his own behalf, he never starts his breakfast until I sit down to eat.This is such a lovely gesture I think is lost today because everyone of everyone's busy lifestyles. The only backfire to sitting down together for breakfast on a busy morning is that my son loves to talk. He will talk till my ears fall off. When he is done talking I might have half his meal on my shirt from not closing his mouth, or he hasn't touched it. Most of the time I am saying "Isaiah please keep your mouth closed" or " Isaiah try to finish your meal". This, is a good example  where time has left the building and I don't rush because I know we have missed the first bus. I will admit that spending this time together requires me to wake earlier.

Breakfast meals for us usually are your standard choices, toast,porridge, cereal.When I can during the week I do make this lovely simple scrambled egg dish. It might be one of the easiest recipes I will post. It so quick and requires simple ingredients. The kicker for my scrambled eggs is the Thai Sriracha sauce. It really has a wonderful tangy, chili sweet taste. The sauce is my ketchup to a lot of meals. The flavor gives the dish a whole other dimension than just scrambled eggs. This sauce is quite spicy therefore i don't add the sauce for Isaiah but if he chose's to try some he has in small quantities and to my amazement has enjoyed it .

Spicy Scrambled Eggs

Preparation: 5 mins
Cook time: 5 mins
Yields: 2 servings
Ingredients
4 eggs
sirarcha sauce
2 sprigs of green onions chopped
salt/pepper for taste
1/2tbs butter
Preparation
Like I mentioned the preparation for this meal is absolutely easy, but I think I have found the best way to make scrambled eggs without them being overly cooked.

• Have your nonstick or cast iron pan heated on medium heat.
• I first whisk the eggs together in a separate bowl but I don't add any salt or pepper ( I put salt and pepper on the table). I find that when salt is added to the eggs ahead of time it dries them out.
• Put butter in the pan let melt but not burn. This will make eggs bitter. 
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit till you see the edges cooked. Use wooden spoon and slowly push cooked parts of the egg to the center.Roll the pan around to disperse uncooked mixture to the edges. When the egg looks 1/2 cooked I turn of the heat and let the eggs cook without the burner on. The heat from the pan will slowly cook the eggs.
• Place on toast garnish with green onions and sirarcha sauce. Salt/pepper for taste.

Note that the temperature of your pan determines how fast the eggs get cooked. I find that medium and low heat cooks the eggs to a perfect consistency. If the heat is very high it generally cooks the eggs to fast and dry.

When doing this with Isaiah I have him whisk and crack the eggs as well as give him to chance to stir the egg in the pan. When I first started letting Isaiah stir things on the stove it was very nerve racking for me. This also includes chopping, but once getting over my fears I realized that he was very responsible and proud to show me that "mom I am careful, just watch". And that, is all I can do which is watch and guide. The appreciation of food and preparation is so valued plus on the educational front, the products entice a lot conversation. For example, where sirarcha sauce is from? How is it made? This opens up so many doors of exploration in culture,farming and production.
