100 Things - #10. Breakfast is my favorite meal.

I love a good hearty breakfast.  It’s definately my favorite meal of the day to eat, while not always my favorite in the way of cooking.  I don’t put a ton of creative energy into breakfast most days, but I always have it.  Weekends sometimes get a little more creative but not terribly so, we keep breakfast low key.

My favorite and most common breakfast is two eggs over easy and a slice of homemade toast with just a smidge of butter.  Coffee at breakfast is a given around here, too.  Our breakfast routine doesn’t change much: eggs, oatmeal, granola, maybe cheerios with fruit.  That’s about it.  On days where I know the morning will be especially busy or full of hard work, eggs are the must have food, they just keep me full of energy until lunch. 

I only use local free-range eggs.  We’re blessed with about 4 different sources for eggs and seem to always have some even in the darkest days of winter, we’re able to get some from our various sources.
