Breakfast



One of the things I love about the holidays is the time you have to make yourself a nice breakfast instead of the usual rushing off with a piece of toast in your mouth!  One of my absolute favourites is thick wholewheat toast topped with avocado squeezed with lemon, poached eggs, sea salt, a splash of extra virgin olive oil and some snowpea sprouts.  My idea of breakfast heaven ever since I ordered it at a cafe once.




You can have it with just avocado and sprouts if you prefer...


It's nice to have some pretty flowers to look at while you eat...


Another breakfast I enjoy in Summer is mango, juice and coffee which my husband made for me the other morning while I was reading the paper on our deck!



I hope you all had a great New Years and look forward to spending 2012 with you, I know it's going to be a great year for us all!

Love Catherine x
