Today, at the age of 32 (almost 33!) I lay awake thinking about breakfast and am mostly just excited about the start of a new day; waking up to take that fist sip of coffee, enjoying the splendor of having a few quiet moments to myself before I hear the rise of my 4 year old and almost 7 year old children. Of course I am also thinking about what I might eat in the morning. It is one of my favorite meals. For awhile this year it was a piece of peanut butter toast with 1/2 a banana, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Lately though I have introduced my version of the French Rolled omelet, complete with a snipping of fresh chives from our garden. You take an egg, plus an extra egg white, scramble it up, pour it into a hot skillet. While it is cooking, quickly throw on whatever sounds good! Mostly I do some fresh spinach leaves and some feta cheese crumbles; and then a dash of kosher salt and ground pepper. I also have this fantastic dried herb mixture (brought back from Syria by my mother) that I also toss in. Once the ingredients are topped on, carefully roll the omelet over the top of itself creating a nice long roll. I usually toast a piece of bread to go along with this; with some nice jam to accompany it.
So what are you dreaming of for breakfast?
