Day number 30? I lost count at this point. The days consist of coming up with new breakfast ideas and improving my watercolor skills. Oh and making coffee! It’s something I look forward to every morning. What would we do without coffee? Hard boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, bananas and swiss cheese toast for breakfast may not be on your must-try list but it was pretty good. I love seeing the obscure breakfast combinations people come up with so I thought I should share mines. Other than this simple breakfast, I’ve been indulging in french toast and sausage. Yum!

The more important question is, is the Belgian waffle dish that’s served in the United States the same as what we would get in Belgium? The answer is no. First of all, they don’t come served on a dish. Prepare…
Moroccan baghrir was one of my favorite breakfast choices when I was in Marrakech. I remember seeing the ladies prepare it over a cast iron griddle. So here I am with my nostalgic tendencies trying to recreate my Moroccan breakfasts.
Creating recipes take time, a lot of patience, and a whole lot of ingredients. Sometimes a recipe will be successful and other times it’ll be a disaster. This is when you’re ingredients go to waste unless you still eat your creation. Sigh.
