Now that I'm living on my own, in my own apartment, with my own kitchen buying my own groceries, I spend most mornings whipping up breakfast for just myself, or occasionally for both me and my boyfriend.
I usually cook with the same style as my mom. Probably because of the way she taught me & the way I grew up watching and helping her. I love cooking the things she used to make for me; the way she used to make it, with the same music playing in the background (usually Jack Johnson).
Well, I spent this weekend at home with my parents & dogs so as I was slowly waking up this morning my mom asked me what I wanted for breakfast { :-) }. Of course I was filled with warmth and gave a huge smile. It was nice to feel like a kid again, and have someone cook breakfast FOR ME! I guess thats what moms are for...no matter how old you are.
My mom always says that she especially loves cooking breakfast food, and cooking for people is one of her many ways of showing her love. And let me tell you she does a great job of showing her love through food! Yummy, healthy, filling food.
This morning she whipped up some whole wheat banana pancakes and dippy eggs (this is how we referred to over easy eggs when I was a child...and we still do!) & a glass of milk.
Oooohhh I'm such a lucky girl, to have the best mom in the world. I just love being at home & I just love her breakfasts :) The funny thing is I'm not even a breakfast person - just hers!
Now that we're all filled up, its time to go help build her garden!
