I just ate the most delicious breakfast I have had in weeks. You are probably all wondering where I went, and how much I paid so you can all go run there next weekend. But....I made it all myself. During the week I cannot pull myself out of bed early enough to make a decent breakfast so I will often just have a protein shake, an apple, a banana, or something easy enough that I can chow down in the car. This morning after quite the sleep in, so much so that my breakfast should have been called lunch, and while watching Kristy Alley's Big Life- I decided that not eating breakfast was A) not a good option and B) eating the homemade sugar cookies that were left behind by the Easter bunny will not help my cause to looking great on our upcoming trip to Vegas/Cali/San Diego.

So...amongst my condiment fridge I managed to throw together quite the breakfast. The secret to a great breakfast is not using fancy ingredients, it truly is being creative in what you put together along with an immaculate presentation. I know that when food looks better, the portions don't have to be as large...and I take longer to savor the flavours.

And now without further a due, and with much inspiration pulled from C's blogsite The Road to Health I just had to photograph my food journey this morning.
I started with some frozen blueberries stored in the freezer. Organic and from a co-workers farm last year, their little blue heads peeked out at me as plump and delicious. They needed a little livening so I tossed them in the microwave to defrost and added a dallop of crushed pineapple which I had leftover from baking. To that I added some plain eating right yogurt and still not satisfied I tossed on a handful of bee pollen. Bee pollen I discovered last year in an naturalist attempt to curb my spring-time hay fever, summer allergies. To that what bowl of deliciousness is not complete without a drizzle of honey and a shake of cinnamon to sweeten the deal . Yum....this first course to my 'breakfast' was amazing!


As my creativity started to turn in the kitchen I knew my breakfast would not be complete without some hearty protein. So I grabbed a weight watchers English muffin ( they are whole wheat and portion sized) and let the microwave bring my carb friend to life. I then grabbed my favouite egg poacher- the poach pod, to whip myself up a healthy mc kelly's muffin. I added some fresh arugula and a Kraft singles slice with a sprinkle of paprika and s&p and Voila!~


The most delicious breakfast all week.
Made for free.
Eaten in comfort.
No added crap included.


and to top off the home dining experience, enjoyed with a tall wine glass filled with chilled juice.

Suberbe!

Cheers~
