Favorite Five Tuesdays

This weekend I was home and craving a NYC brunch. Sure they have brunch other places but they dont do it with the same enthusiasm. I am all about the messy hair and creative eggs. Brunch is the only time I feel it is completely unacceptable to be overdressed. Strange, considering I think as a society we gotta pull it together in the formality department. Sweatpants on airplanes, jeans at the theater? c'mon people. But, as usual, I digress. My friend said that I love breakfast so much that I should probably call it "breakfunch" instead of "brunch."

So that got me thinking about my top five favorite breakfast items.

1. Oatmeal with golden berries, pecans and maple syrup.

2. Soft boiled eggs with buttered toast and baked beans

3. Huevos Rancheros!

4. My moms granola with vanilla yogurt and raspberries, peach smoothie on the side

5. Truffled egg toast with asparagus and cheesy grits

**All washed down with a fresh cup of Baristas Beans coffee of course! Oooo I am making myself hungry!

Ok your turn- What are some of your favorite meals to start the day?

Barista's Beans in the news

Yesterday there was a a wonderful newspaper article about my brother's coffee company Barista's Beans. Since the average person doesn't know what its like to taste coffee that was roasted within mere days of finding its way into your cup, he and his wife have made it their mission. They do it all themselves from a small roasting shed in Hyde Park, Vermont and there is nothing like the taste of their coffee. Recently they added a feature to their website where you can sign up for coffee subscriptions no matter where you are. Brilliant! Aside from being a proud sister I am an avid fan, it is the only coffee I will drink!
