Do you ever get frustrated that on your weekend, most of the day can disappear quite quickly after you have had a lie-in, got up had some breakfast, showered, got ready. By the time you look at your watch it's almost 12ish and you debate with yourself should you go out now knowing in the next hour your going to want lunch. Do you have lunch out? Or do you save some pennies wait another 30mins have lunch and hey presto it's 1.30pm. How does this happen every weekend?
Well we have solved this problem ! Sunday morning breakfasts. A new favourite epic way to claw back a little bit of time whilst enjoying a some wonderful breakfast/brunch treats.
Each Sunday we decide to eat a large breakfast, so that a lunch isn't needed and we can begin our day earlier than 1.30pm.
So what types of things do we have i hear you ask? Today we began with coffee and some cereal, followed by a pains au chocolate and finished by a boiled egg and dippy soldiers. Now doesn't that sound an amazing way to start a day - i assure you it is. When you consider that it's now 4.30pm and we haven't eaten since this morning we've done well.
The beauty of this new tradition for us is that we get to rekindle the love of that supposed 'most important meal of the day'. We get to have muffins, waffles, crumpets, eggs in every way you can possibly imagine (boiled,scrambled,poached,fried - even gypsy toast). We have toast and cereal, fresh fruit, smoothies and my all time favourite PANCAKES!
As pancake day is fast approaching i imagine we shall be having these on more than one occasion this week. The beauty of pancakes is that they go well with everything. A drizzle of maple syrup with some crispy bacon (or even better pancetta) brings that amazing balance of sweet and salty. This even became our 'send off' food when me and some friends went to China back in October. Once mentioned we hunted down anywhere at Heathrow airport that could meet our cravings, thank goodness for Garfunkles.
I know many people don't favour this American way of sweet and savoury products and my mother would be saying "No we need orange juice and sugar" I agree this combination is just as delicious.
We can now enjoy breakfast even if it is that one day a week, but what an enjoyable day that is.
If you can suggest any breakfast ideas for me to explore please leave a comment.
