Fantastic Breakfast...and a learning experience...

I don't know about you guys but I LOVE avocado's! In any form, whether it's plain on a salad or on a taco or in guacamole (mmmmmm) I just love them. And they are so incredibly good for you. I also love eggs. Sunny side up runny yummy eggs. I am always looking for a new way to make both and...Pinterest struck again...thankfully! 

This breakfast is fast, easy, very few ingredients and packed full of omega-3's! I put some grapes and a banana on the side and I was full until about one o'clock. Normally I will snack all morning long but I had no desire today. 

I took one avocado and cut in in half. Take the seed out. 

Next you take two eggs and crack them right in the middle. Now this is where I had a little learning experience...I didn't read that you should take out a little of the pulp to make more room for the egg. When I cracked the egg inside some of the white spilled out onto the foil...

I didn't think this would be a huge deal and it really wasn't but when I did take it out of the oven I realized that I probably should have cleaned this up before I put it in. I woke my husband out of a dead sleep with the smoke detector...oops! :) The white part of the egg did burn a little. 

Add some salt and pepper to your preference and throw it in the oven on 350 for about 20 minutes. 

I won't tell you what I think that burned egg looks like but I know one of my friends will know...so Apple, if you're reading this...don't say it!!

After I took them out I transferred to my bowl to transport to work and I added some yummy Siracha on top. 

I absolutely LOVED these and I can't wait to make them again!! Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Italian Chicken

Thank goodness for Pinterest because I find so many incredibly recipes. I am going to try really really hard to start blogging my finds and my tries. I am not good at taking pictures of all the ingredients before I use them but I will start trying to get better at doing that.

Tonight I made Italian chicken that I found on Pinterest that was created by a blogger called Our Story: LOVE, BASEBALL, TRAVEL, FOOD, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

This one was super easy and that's what I love about it. I love cooking but I like things that are simple, fresh, and easy to do, because I really don't have time with a full time job, full time school, and a full time husband and son to take care of to try and be Martha Stewart in the kitchen. I also like as few ingredients as possible because well, that means it is cheaper. ;)

For this dish I bought

• 6 roma tomato's 
• 1 can of artichoke hearts 
• 4 boneless Smart chicken breasts ( I buy Smart chicken because it's already trimmed and it's organic)
• Fresh Basil
• Fresh Garlic

You will also need ( and should probably already have in your pantry)

• Flour
• EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
• Sugar
• Salt and Pepper

You chop the tomato, drain the artichoke's and cut them into two to three slices depending on how big they are, I added about 3 cloves of garlic sliced thin (the original recipe didn't ask for that much but we LOVE garlic in this house so I added more) add a teaspoon of sugar and about 2 tablespoons of flour. Stir until mixed. Now, I really really dislike sugary sauces. I cannot stand it when people put sugar in their spaghetti sauce so I was reluctant on the sugar but the artichokes are so acidic that it balances it really well. The flour is because the tomato and artichokes create a TON of juice and you don't want to much of that. However, I discovered that with all the juice it created once cooked combined with the EVOO, it made an awesome sauce for noodles for the side. 

Put your chicken breasts in the bottom of the baking dish and season with salt and pepper, liberally. I don't know where you buy your chicken but mine doesn't come seasoned. Spoon the mixture on top of the chicken.

Next you just bake at 350 for about 45 minutes and then top it off with your preferred amount of Mozzarella cheese, which if you're us...you like a ton 'o cheese!!  Bake or broil (if you broil you only need to do so for about 3 minutes and keep and eye on it) for another few minutes until the cheese browns. After you take out, add your chopped fresh basil and it will wilt on contact. 

We dished a breast with the topping over noodles and our son gobbled this down! He even said to double the tomato and triple the artichoke the next time. Our son is our ginny pig and harshest critic when in comes to our cooking and if he hums while he eats, we know we've done good! He was humming!!

Right after I finish this blog I am packing this yumminess into my lunch for the next day!!

Enjoy!!!

What is in a name?

Rudegirl's Aggro...what does that mean you're probably asking...well, let me explain. 

When I was a teenager I got into the Skinhead/Punk rock scene (NO not ALL Skinheads are racist so please, before you get all judgy on me, do some research) and included within that is the subculture of Rude Boy's and Rude Girl's of the Ska and Reggae music scene. I love Reggae because it makes me feel relaxed and in a world so full of stress we all need something to unwind to. What attracted me to this sub-culture was the way they dressed and the music. I loved how there is no racism in this scene and whites and blacks could go to the same dance hall and have a good time together. I love the smart suits and the pork pie hats and I love the history behind the culture. There is just something so rich and cool about Jamaica and someday I hope to go there and experience it all first hand.

I loved the whole culture so much that I got a tattoo of a Rude Girl and from that someone who used to be in my life started calling me "Rude Girl". 

So I just started using it ;)

Rudest Girl in Town

To me there is just something so cool about fishnets and boots...

I love the straight up style of the Rude Girl and how something so simple can look so edgy and smart...

I have always been a fan of black and white with a pop of one other color to set it all off. We are all about gangsters in my house and traditional "rude boy/girl" is clothing similar to that of the swing dancers of the 1940’s or that of the historic gangsters akin to Al Capone.

Aggro....

It's just what it sounds like, aggravated. It also describes a certain type of punk music. 

We used to use this term a lot to describe being pissed off about something. Well, I tend to let things upset me pretty quickly (not a trait I am very proud of)so I combined the two together. 

There is just something about the punk rock culture that drew me in and I fell in love with it. I don't know if it's the fashion or the attitude but it hooked me right away and I've never found anything about it I didn't like. The combination of ska, punk and reggae gives me a perfect balance of peace and chaos. 

It just fits...

Hi, my name is... and I start fights on Facebook...

so I decided to create a blog.

This is my first blog so I thought I would start it out with who I am and why I am doing this.
I am infamous for starting fights on Facebook by creating controversial posts regarding politics, religion, or just my every day rants and ramblings. I love to write. It's a passion. You could call me a nerd when it comes to paper and a pen. I was the kid like in Fast Times at Ridgemont High that smelled the paper on the first day of class.  I am passionate about journaling but at times I don't like to keep things to myself and that's where I became a Facebook whore.  Often times Facebook isn't the right place or time to to talk about all you want to and Twitter well, let's be honest 140 characters really isn't enough for us "talkers", so I have been contemplating a blog for a long time.

I have a few close friends who have blogs that have been telling me for a while that I needed to do this...so...

I have a lot going on in my life as I am incredibly busy yet very lazy ( meaning that I am incredibly busy at being lazy) so blogging seemed like one more thing but I am going to give it a try and just see what happens. Hopefully this thing takes off and I inspire you all to do what you've been wanting to do forever but never had the time, patience, or gumpshion to do. We're not getting any younger so might as well right? 

In the next few weeks my goals are to explain the title of my blog, "RudeGirl's Aggro" and give you some insight into my goals of this blog. 

I am a spaghetti head woman, meaning that I have a lot going on in my head at all times and it all strings together into a heap of madness. This blog is not going to be a theme so be prepared...
