I love breakfast!!!

I really think breakfast might be my favorite meal. You can pretty much eat anything for breakfast and it's ok. Pizza for breakfast? Go for it! A cupcake? Why the heck not? There are eggs in it! Eggs, biscuits, bacon, waffles, pancakes, toast, steak, pizza, veggies, anything!!

I'm really lucky to be able to make my own work schedule while I go to school. Because of this, I pretty much eat great breakfasts all the time. I kind of think people get stuck in breakfast ruts...grape nuts, again? Spice it up! Add cinnamon to that yucky stuff! Don't just eat plain toast! Get some of that All-Fruit (do you remember the commercials? Please pass the jelly...this isn't jelly! It's Polaner All-Fruit!) It's still relatively healthy and then you won't die of food boredom!

AND if you are really feeling creative (or like to procrastinate, like I do), you can make outstanding breakfasts! I made Eggs Benedict the other day. It took 5 tries to get a really good, edible poached egg, but I did it! I whipped up some fresh homemade biscuits this morning...bisquik style, but still fresh.

Today, I was feeling a little country. I made a half batch of the bisquik biscuits, a couple slices of bacon, and a fried egg (fried in the bacon grease, of course, because it just tastes better that way!). Now, don't judge me. You're probably guessing my heart will stop before this gets posted, right? No. It's fine. I rarely eat fried eggs. Or bacon really... Every couple weeks isn't that bad, and I drain any excess grease off of everything. It's yucky.

The best part of the breakfast, was probably my coffee...I have a French press that my grandma bought me a couple years ago. I'm not a coffee guru, but I know the coffee always tastes great. I've read it described as more gritty...I think they mean good or they need to filter theirs better. Just saying... So, today, I had some heavy cream left over from making butter this week. (Yes, I made butter. It's not hard, it's delicious.) I put a little of the heavy cream in the coffee and holy moly! You would think that an angel spit in my cup. It was so creamy and with a little bit of sugar, boy, oh boy, it was good!

OK, I'll get off my tangent about breakfast. Its time to do homework and be a responsible grad student. I've gotta keep the GPA up. Summa Cum Laude, here I come!

Happy Cooking!
