Crack the egg into the same pan and gently scramble until the egg is no longer runny. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the sandwich, place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of the English muffin, followed by the cooked Canadian bacon, and the egg. Top with the other half of the English muffin and serve immediately.

Baked Potato Wedges with Rosemary

Start by taking some hearty potatoes and cutting them into chunky wedges, ensuring each piece has a good mix of skin and fluffy interior. In a mixing bowl, toss those wedges with a generous glug of olive oil, ensuring each wedge is well-coated and gleaming. Now, sprinkle freshly chopped rosemary over them, letting the fragrant herb cling to the oily surface. A pinch of sea salt and a crack of black pepper complete the seasoning. Spread the wedges out on a baking tray, giving each its own space to crisp up. Pop them into a preheated oven and bake until they're golden, crispy on the outside, and irresistibly fluffy inside.

Homemade Apple Sauce

Grab about 4-6 apples (mix and match varieties for fun flavors), ¾ cup water, a pinch of salt, and sugar or honey to taste. For an aromatic twist, toss in a cinnamon stick or a pinch of ground cinnamon. First, peel, core, and chop your apples. Throw them in a pot with the water, salt, and optional cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, letting those apples soften for 20-30 minutes. Once they’re all mushy and the kitchen smells like heaven, mash 'em up with a fork or potato masher. Sweeten if desired, and voilà, you’ve got applesauce! Serve it warm or cold.

Strawberry Smoothie

You'll need about 1 cup of fresh strawberries (or frozen if you've got 'em), 1/2 a banana to add creaminess, 1 cup of your favorite milk (almond, cow’s, soy – whatever floats your boat), and a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of sugar for a touch of sweetness. Optional: a dollop of yogurt for added richness and probiotics. Pop everything into your blender, give it a whirl until it's silky smooth, and pour into a chilled glass. If you're feeling a tad adventurous, toss in a handful of oats or your choice of protein powder for an extra kick.
