I remember growing up as a little girl. My mother used to make eggs and pumpkin leaves almost every weekend. And I always enjoyed it. It made for the perfect breakfast along with some yam, potatoes, plantains or toast.
Well, it was a cool evening in my neck of the woods and my ajebutters wanted breakfast for dinner, so I decided to whip up some eggs and vegetables. Although I did not have the pumpkin leaves, some spinach worked great.
Give it a try, it is easy, and tasty and will leave you quite satisfied.
Let’s get to it
Enjoy!
