Breakfast

Normally, I don't take photos of my breakfast. Mostly because they are incredibly boring, like toast with peanut butter or my current favorite, sourdough toast with avocado and a sprinkle of sea salt. But I was at Fresh & Easy the other day and noticed they had some beautiful freshly baked Granola Scones and decided to try one with my morning milky coffee.

It was very wholesome…made with buttermilk, whole wheat and oat flour, orange peel, whole almonds and sunflower seeds. Very extravagant in terms of my breakfast routine.

I added a little of my favorite Fig Jam to the plate, but it really wasn't needed because it was so flavorful and delicious. Such a nice change from my normal morning of blandness.
Tell me, how was your weekend? Any big plans for the week? Are you glad it's Monday or do you want to crawl back into bed and pretend it's Sunday?
