warm breakfast

The past two days have been "snow days". But essentially, the weather was too frigid cold to step outside to get to school. So here is what I ate for breakfast to keep my spirits warm.

non snow day

Today, spirits were down because the much anticipated and rumored first snow day of the year didn't occur and we were subjected to boring lectures and non-important classes yet again. But, in an attempt to start my day off the best way possible, considering the terrible blizzard still ongoing, I decided to make myself a Swedish Breakfast of Swedish pancakes, applesauce, and coffee. It was delicious.

I also have had a relapse in my Starbucks addiction. I thought I had outgrown the cravings when I quite drinking coffee there cold-turkey this fall. I spent way too much of my time and mostly my dollars there last year so I did myself a favor and broke off the addiction. However, on Monday night, my mom and I were out to dinner and we stopped in for some dessert. I ordered a Peppermint Mocha Twist- big mistake. It was possibly the best thing I have ever tasted and since Monday, I've been there twice.

A little breakfast. Scrambled eggs, cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper and some feta.

book: Simply Breakfast

Get your copy of photographer Jennifer Causey's (of Simply Breakfast blog) Simply Breakfast: the art of breakfast. It's her blog in print and I love it.
"This is a little book documenting my daily obsession with breakfast and the beauty I find in the everyday," says Jennifer.
I'd say this book would look lovely on any coffee table. Especially if you already own A Year of Mornings by Maria Vettese and Stephanie Congdon. Order the book and view a preview here.
