Quick Bagel & Egg Breakfast

My husband is a protein guy. He doesn't do waffles, pancakes or sweet treats for breakfast. As much as this pains me since I love love love sugar and bread, I've found some good compromises. Bagel Thins help my carb fix and filling it with eggs and ham makes him happy. It also helps that I can make it in 15 minutes I have to prepare breakfast before leaving for work.

How good does this look?

This is 3 eggs with a splash of milk scrambled, Natural Choice deli ham (I only buy nitrate free), chives, salt and pepper. I spread the bagels with a little cream cheese to hold it all together. 

  And Cafe Escapes is a little sweet fix for me in the morning. I'd been tweeting with them and they offered to send me a sample. Thank you! The Cafe Mocha is my favorite flavor but the Dark Chocolate is a close second. I don't have the machine you would normally use for these but I've got plenty of hot water and it works just fine to add it to a cup, stir and enjoy.

What kind of breakfast do you prefer?

14 Days of Love- Breakfast in Bed

I'm a huge fan of Valentine's Day. It's my favorite holiday, second only to Christmas. For me it's not so much about the romance but about the reminder to show your spouse you love him/her. Marriage takes effort and being willing to care for your partner even when you don't feel like it. I love the little things- bringing a hot cup of coffee when he's still in bed or starting the shower so it's nice and hot, putting a little love note in his lunch or picking up something at the store I know he's been wanting. So, Valentine's Day is right up my alley. Big red hearts, mushy cards and candlelit dinners....bring it on. For this reason, I started the 14 Days of Love. Every year starting on Feb 1st, I surprise my husband with something everyday. Saturday morning, was breakfast in bed. He loves a traditional eggs, bacon, grits, toast and coffee breakfast so to make it special I used heart shaped molds to make eggs.

During this time of year you can find these molds everywhere. I got them at Costplus. Make sure you spray them well with cooking spray so the egg doesn't stick to the sides.

How cute is this egg? So why not surprise your honey with breakfast in bed one morning. I guarantee the smile of pleasure or shock LOL will be worth it.

Do you love or hate Valentine's Day?

If you love it, how do you make it special?
