I wish that breakfast were more commonly used as a verb. It is more deserving of that treatment, in my opinion, than lunch is.<\/p>\n

I love breakfast. Part of it, I’m sure, is because I wake up hungry, very hungry every day. <\/p>\n

I like the foods though, the grits, the pancakes, the eggs. I like that morning cup of coffee or tea. I enjoy a smoothie in the  morning. I love the granola. Greek yogurt in the morning makes me very happy.<\/p>\n

However, it is so easy to wolf something, anything, down in the morning. Leftover this! A cold piece of that.!! (Did I mention that I am ravenous in the morning?)<\/p>\n

This week I made a commitment to myself to make an intentional breakfast. It didn’t take much more time than normal, but it was pretty dang awesome.<\/p>\n

Friday, I had a pancake based on a recipe I saw on the Joy the Baker blog. My pancake had bits of semisweet chocolate and chunks of balaton cherries in it.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9535\"<\/a> One day I had grilled squash and egg tacos.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9513\"<\/a>I enjoyed a squash quesadilla with an egg on top.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9520-0\"<\/a>Not long ago I made a batch of savory waffles. When I made them, I froze the extras. So, whipping up a waffle topped with some kale that was already cooked made for an easy and satisfying breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9509-0\"<\/a>I love grits so much. This week, I had cheddar cheese grits topped with fried green tomatoes and bacon. It was lovely.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9504-0\"<\/a>In addition to loving breakfast, I love weather that doesn’t require layers of clothing for outdoor comfort. Part of this breakfast treat week was to enjoy the meal on the balcony. <\/p>\n

I’ve got to remember that sometimes just a little effort goes a long way.<\/p>\n
