breakfast

Yesterday's bread is today's breakfast: coffee, ham, ricotta, homemade plum jam and of course, cucumbers.

Todays breakfast with homemade bread. 

It baked for about 45 minutes and it has a very crispy crust and very little salt. Unlike what most people think, making homemade bread (without a bread machine!) is actually very easy. Since this is a special occasion, I opened up my last jar of pumpkin jam from last year and surprisingly, it's delicious. 

Oats

When we were kids, Sunday morning breakfast was special! My mom would prepare the most delicious stuff, we would set the table and everyone had the longest breakfast of the week. Most of the times my mom would make oatmeal with biscuits and fruit or bagels with all the toppings in the fridge! This healthy habit has followed me ever since. Normal people get up in the morning and the first thing they do is head off to the shower. Well, the first thing I do is head to the kitchen to prepare myself the first meal of the day: coffee and milk, toast, cheese, ham, jam, butter and (this is a must) cucumber! Sometimes I have fresh cheese, yogurt, fruit, and a muesli mix. On the weekends it’s brunch with scrambled eggs, pancakes and maple syrup (of course)! I recently discovered this blog and I thought to myself: finally someone that understands my craving for a delicious breakfast!!
