breakfast #3

Being the egg lover I am, I was tickled pink to receive this cute-as-a-button set over the holidays, courtesy of the sweet boy.

(He likes to joke that I'm happiest when I'm eating. I might, if I were the sensitive type, get offended if it wasn't so entirely true...)

Seriously, though. Doesn't this just make you smile?

The egg cup must be one of the best little inventions in the world, if only as an accessory that an devoted egghead (eggophile? eggoist? hee hee, it's just too silly) can appreciate. What other food demands its own tiny pedestal on which it can be worshipped, really?

tap, tap, tap...

A great gift for the great ritual of eating a breakfast of a soft boiled egg. Thanks, D!

breakfast #2

Got the juice goin' today! I finally unearthed our noisy little juicer from the depths of the cupboard so we could enjoy a bit of a kickstart to the day: freshly made carrot, apple, beet and ginger juice.

Hooray for antioxidants! We've got a few tiny local Kestral Farm carrots, a red beet...

...Ida Red apples from Algoma Farms and a tiny bit of organic ginger for that spicy kick.

I love that colour...bottoms up.

breakfast #1

Oh, Oprah. So I had my fix recently (it's my secret daytime feel-good indulgence...and yes, I sure do want to live my best life!), and found myself inspired to start my day off all healthy-like.

So instead of my usual egg/butter/salt with toast and coffee, today starts with a pretty cup of green tea, organic yogurt, toasted walnuts, organic raisins and a dollop of buckwheat honey.

(I'm thinking about an Egg McMuffin for "second breakfast" already...)

his 'n hers

A rare occurrence at our place; not only did we both get up in time to make and eat breakfast at home, but we actually had enough fruits and berries lurking in the ol' kitchen so we didn't end up with the sleeping pill known as the beige/brown meal.

(You know what I'm talking about - as delicious as a proper fry up is, don't you just want to sink your head into the nearest pillow right afterwards?)

Oh, and we even made his and hers versions...it must be a full moon!

My girly plate.


I, for once, am trying to practice some (ugh) restraint these days...we'll see how long that lasts!

And for the boy...

I think I may want to have that bacon-fried egg-cheese-avocado sandwich for lunch...would that be wrong?
