Hi Smileys!
Have you ever found yourself getting up in the morning and not knowing what to make for breakfast? Or really not having a taste for anything but extremely hungry? It seems like breakfast, or any mealtime for that matter, can be monotonous: Eggs, Oats, and Salty Pork. Of course we can switch it up a bit by making omelets, frittata’s, quiche’s etcetera; but it is still eggs. We can also switch our protein but……I still find myself getting bored very quickly with the breakfast menu.
This month, as a means to find my way out of the tunnel of The Breakfast Rut, I added some fresh fruit, seasonal english muffins, and a mocktail mimosa to our breakfast menu just to add a bit of excitement to my life and taste buds. And I have to admit, it was very nice. On the morning that I made our “Mimosa’s”, it felt like we had went out to a restaurant for brunch! It’s the little things. So although breakfast may seem tedious and overwhelming, little changes here and there can spruce up the menu and add a little excitement along the way.
Well Smileys, that is all that I have for now. I hope you are enjoying the beginning of the holidays with your friends and family. I absolutely love the Fall! Enjoy this time and season, as you can’t get it back. Don’t get caught up in things that are unimportant and frivolous: such as breakfast menus. Instead, enjoy your loved ones and eat good food along the way.
Happy Cooking,
Smiling Danny
