Mexican Scramble

This morning’s breakfast began because of one little mistake. Instead of putting basil into my mixing bowl, I accidentally put cilantro. Yes, it really was a “little” mistake, and yet it was also “big”, because as you know, cilantro and basil are two very different tasting herbs.

I felt up to the challenge though, recognizing that I might fail and it might taste so bad that we would either have to eat it holding our noses, or just throw it out. 🙂 Maybe it was Brene Brown’s words that I read last night from Daring Greatly that were stuck in my head: “What’s worth doing even if I fail?” To me, this was worth doing. 🙂

I figured I made some eggs the other day that had an Italian flare to it, so why not give the eggs a Mexican food flare?

In addition to the cilantro, I added lime juice, chile pepper, Monterrey Jack cheese, and avocado. And you know what? I actually loved it! It was so good! Look what hubby and I would have missed out on if I wasn’t willing to give it a try!
