Some things come easier than others.

Breakfast this morning, for example, was one of those things. I don’t have any particular recipes to share that go along with this post, I just felt like spreading the love, and fanning the flames of desire that we all feel for a nice, full, hot and delicious breakfast.

I woke up fairly early today, snuck out of bed, careful not to wake my husband.

I didn’t even have to change out of my Pajamas! I love that about breakfast at home.

After a quick spruce-up of the kitchen, I set to making some French toast, fried eggs (scrambled, for my husband) sausage links and bacon- The thick sliced kind. I feel I should share with you one of my favourite breakfast making tips, even though you’ve probably already heard it.

Instead of making your bacon in a skillet, bake it in the oven!

Lay the strips out flat on a non-stick baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until the bacon looks almost done, then flip them over and bake until they start to foam a little. It takes only like 20 minutes to make perfectly crisp, evenly done, FLAT bacon, and the only mess you have to clean is the non-stick baking sheet, rather than having to clean up the whole stove top and the skillet if you pan fry the bacon.

Either way, there is no arguing, bacon is DELICIOUS. hehe..

I had some little mini croissants, so we had those on the side with strawberry jam (I smuggled this jar out from a hotel we had room service in) and we drank some fruit juice and milk.

Eating breakfast always makes me feel like I’m a kid again. My family always ate breakfast together on Sundays, though we would usually have homemade waffles or pancakes, which were my dad’s specialty.

French toast WAS the first thing I ever learned to make in the kitchen though, so I’ve become quite the expert at making it, not that its very hard to make or anything. hehe.. Now that things are finally becoming more normal (5 months since relocating, not bad.) I’ll finally start sharing some more breakfast recipes. Until recently, breakfast on the weekends was more like Eggos and poptarts. Not the most nutritious or healthy of breakfasts, and not really even very tasty, either.

Nope, no more toaster strudel for us. We’re in the dead of winter, and there’s no better weekend recharge than a nice big tasty breakfast, so there are plenty more in store this season. Don’t you worry.
