Sunny Side Up Salad



I have come into the habit of buying a sammie from the coffee cart at school.  
Now, these are actually pretty tasty-
But I've decided I need to start utilizing my groceries before dinner again


I didn't have a whole heck of a lot of time-less than an hour to make lunch, eat lunch, and drive to my DAT session-
So nothing too complex here


The apartment building gave us breakfast on the go that morning, and so I grabbed an orange for later, not knowing it would be a integral ingredient in my lunch...


A Simple Orange, Asparagus, Egg, Spinach Salad:


I made the asparagus nice and tender on the stove with a little salt and some white wine-the asparagus was this beautiful hunky veg-i was so pleased with it


I laid the asparagus on the bed of spinach along with orange pieces-

I sprinkled the salad with ChiaLife-
A friend (KB!) introduced me to ChiaLife in the fall when I was having way too much fun with my new juicer to add a bit more protein to my beverages
They're these little seeds, lookin like a poppy, that are a great source of fiber, Omega-3, antioxidants, are gluten-free without preservatives, and claim to be a higher quality of protein than soy.
It is also known to promote neurological and cardiovascular function-
I am in GOOD shape here

I also fried some eggs sunny side up to brighten the partly-cloudy day

and made a dressing out of the remaining orange: 
Sour cream (STILL had some left over, had to use it up), dijon mustard, orange juice, salt, pepper, oil 

and YUMM
SO refreshing and gave me the energy to pack a years worth of organic chemistry in 1 DAT session :)
