Simple But Special Saturday Breakfast

This morning we slept in late...it was great!  It was bright and sunny when we woke up, but the clouds have already started to move in.  Rather than take our walk before breakfast, we decided to eat our breakfast first...just not a big breakfast since we were walking afterwards. We'll save our bigger "brunch" of eggs, biscuits and bacon for tomorrow, instead.  I mixed some full fat Greek Gods yogurt with a splash of vanilla extract, a few drops of stevia and a dash of Ceylon cinnamon and then layered it into small trifle bowls with a few fresh blueberries and chopped walnuts.  While I realize it is nothing more than simple yogurt and some fresh fruit and nuts, serving it this way just makes it feel more special somehow -- and it takes about an extra minute or two to serve it this way.

During the week, I take my yogurt to work every morning and eat it straight out of the little container it comes in (mixed with stevia and cinnamon).  But, as a special treat on the weekends, simply layering it with some berries and nuts and serving it in a pretty little bowl just makes it feel more special somehow. It makes me feel a little pampered, like I'm dining in my own little bed and breakfast. I honestly do believe that part of the allure of eating out (other than not having to cook) is the presentation of the food that is served to you. I think most of us would be a bit disappointed if when we ate in a restaurant, the food was simply plopped on a plate and put in front of us without any consideration to how it looked. Now, that being said...I definitely believe if you had to choose between looking good or tasting good...tasting good wins every single time.  But, if you have a few extra minutes, why not accomplish both, if possible?  Simple can be special, too. I snapped a few photos for you to see below of our "Simple But Special Saturday Breakfast". Now...off to take our walk before the rain begins!  Happy Saturday...Enjoy!
