Essentially a peasant dish, migas exists in some form throughout Spain, Portugal, and Mexico. In Texas, where it's a major part of Tex-Mex cuisine, this breakfast favorite consists of eggs scrambled with chilies, onions and corn tortilla strips. Our weekday-friendly version uses store bought tortilla chips and pico de gallo.
Best breakfast
If you exercise in the morning, get up early enough to finish breakfast at least one hour before your workout. Be well fueled going into a workout. Studies suggest that eating or drinking carbohydrates before exercise can improve workout performance and may allow you to work out for a longer time or at a higher intensity. If you don't eat, you might feel sluggish or lightheaded when you exercise.
Most people can eat small snacks right before and during exercise. The key is how you feel. Do what works best for you. Snacks eaten soon before exercise probably won't give you added energy if your workout lasts less than 60 minutes, but they may prevent distracting hunger pangs. If your workout is longer than 60 minutes, you may benefit by including a carbohydrate-rich food or beverage during the workout. Good snack options include:
Water is generally the best way to replace lost fluids. But if you're exercising for more than 60 minutes, use a sports drink. Sports drinks can help maintain your body's electrolyte balance and give you a bit more energy because they contain carbohydrates.
Keep in mind that the length and intensity of your activity will determine how often and what you should eat and drink. For example, you'll need more energy from food to run a marathon than to run or walk a few miles. And try not to include any new products in your diet before a long-duration sports event. It's best to have previous experience to see how your system handles the food.
When it comes to eating and exercise, everyone is different. So pay attention to how you feel during your workout and to your overall performance. Let your experience guide you on which pre- and post-exercise eating habits work best for you. Consider keeping a journal to monitor how your body reacts to meals and snacks so that you can adjust your diet for optimal performance.

Every biscuit option is a winner, but some of the best are the Little Birdy (crunchy, sweet, and spicy with fried chicken, cheddar cheese, and chili maple syrup), the Old Man Thunder (the tried and true combo of bacon, egg, and American cheese), and the Pure Guava (a wild gastronomical sensation with whipped cream cheese, sweet guava paste, and salted cashew butter).
The Pastrami and Egg Sandwich takes many of the most beloved parts of the deli menu and combines them into a delicious breakfast sandwich. It contains pastrami (cured and smoked in-house), fried egg, homemade Russian dressing, and American cheese on their proprietary TGM Bread rye griddled to crunchy perfection.
You can either build your own, or trust the experts because they have plenty of classic or signature sandwich options to choose from. Some of their best include the Rio Grande, with jalapeno cream cheese, egg, and your choice of meat; the Central Park, with grilled peppers, tomatoes, onions, and an egg; or go for the classic Sliced Nova, topped with cream cheese, tomato, onion, and capers.
The BBB is a bagel sandwich with egg, cheese, and your choice of corned beef, pastrami, or salami. Each meat option adds a salty and savory dimension to the mix and the cheese and egg complement it fantastically. A bagel sandwich is only as good as its bagel, and Bagelicious, as the name might suggest, makes one of the best bagels in the South. Enjoy the sandwich with a side of crispy and hearty potato latkes and you can go ahead and call it a day, because how could life get any better than this?
