Open Faced Breakfast Sandwich

The sun came out today. Finally!

But I think it's going rogue tomorrow again. It's staying hidden until Thursday, which means I need to prepare for a couple of gloomy days--my worst nightmare. There's one thing of the top of my mind that would makes the week better: food.


Considering I have two finals left and many clouds to shoo away, I am going to need fuel. The question is what should I do? Tasty snacks, yummy meals or decadent desserts? How about all of the above.

Let me start with today's breakfast. It was fresh and colorful; a healthy and filling egg-white sandwich. Plus, it's easy to make and the perfect base for different combinations. Enjoy!
