    Breakfasted at one of my favourite cafes, Brother Hubbard's, at the weekend. Chorizo and feta omelette, with rye toast and a really good, smoky tomato sauce, and coffee. So simple yet scrumptious.

    <3<3 that place. I can't deviate from the cinnamon scrolls when I'm there to try other things though, compulsively order them (and one for a 'friend' to take home with me) like they'll stop making them if I don't

    how do you guys have enough time in the morning to dedicate to these wonderful breakfast concoctions?

    I have just about enough time to throw a slice of bread in the toaster then throw it into me.

    I hate breakfast anyway. I'm lactose-intolerant and not really a big fan of cereal, porridge, etc anyway. I invariably coerce myself into eating a boring old piece of toast and heading out the door. I'd skip it altogether if my lunch break was earlier than 2.30pm.

    I'd say there's a lot of weekend/day off posts here. During the week I'm more of a dry-granola-at-my-desk girl.

    Yesterday both daughters were here so I made a mixed grill. Please ignore the incinerated sausages (one daughter only eats them that way!) and focus instead on my home made hash brown :)

    I used the recipe in this article - you have to scroll down a bit. I used butter to fry the onions, then mixed them with the potato in a bowl and put sunflower oil into the pan to fry the hash brown. First time I made it I used butter and it wasn't crisp enough.
    I also mashed the potato slightly with a fork.

    This morning breakfast was something I've been having a lot lately.

    One orange and one banana chopped up and mixed with 3 tablespoons of oats and a big dollop of low fat natural yogurt all washed down with a mug of tea :D

    Thanks for that Dizzy, hopefully I'll get a chance to make it over the weekend :)

    You could try clarified butter. You're probably not able to get the butter hot enough to crisp the hash brown, as the butter would burn. But clarified butter has a higher smoke point than most, if not all oils, and you still get a slight buttery flavour.

    I started making my own clarified butter a few months ago, and I love the stuff! :)

    I always thought life was too short for clarifying butter but maybe not :)

    Me too, but it's actually a quick process. You can have it slowly melting in a pan while doing other cooking. Then just skim off the milk solids. You won't get 100% of them, hence the slight buttery taste.

    In addition...

    The skimming part is only a ten minute job, seriously. :)

    The only oil I use is olive, I don't believe sunflower oil and co to be healthy. So for frying, it's either olive oil or clarified butter. Obvs you can't fry eggs in olive oil - well, you can but yock - so things like that are where clarified butter comes in. The higher smoke point is very handy too, for cooking steak or other things that need quick cooking at a searing pan temperature.

    OK, that's enough about clarified butter. :o

    A really very good doughnut & a flat white. Proper yeast one as well with cartoonish Simpsons icing.

    Smoothie of coconut water, peanut butter, natural yoghurt, melon, spinach, lime, mint and ginger. Lovely and refreshing.

    I knew when I was making it that I was forgetting something. It wasn't until I was out running several hours later that I realised I'd forgotten the oats :eek:

    Made my own frappe this morning to quench my ever increasing caffeine addiction.

    Four spoons of instant Arabica coffee
    Chocolate protein powder
    Ice cubes
    Banana

    Stick it all in a blender for a sec and hey presto !! Turned out very nice, just missing the milk. Can't wait for tomorrow, going to experiment with recipes :D
