Bandito y Bandita

Today I made a beautiful breakfast spread for my sister and my self.

I started a new job this summer and it really flipped my body clock for a HUGE loop, but in turn it has begun to give me time to have breakfast at the normal time in which most people would say it was appropriate, although I would eat it at any time, any day, any where, it's my favorite :)


So I got up really early, or what used to seem really early for me, and went straight down to make a delicious breakfast for my sister and me. I started with making the coffee to wake me up and keep me motivated to finish the job. I turned on some music to get me in a great mood for the day, something fun and calm at the same time. Then I got the bacon started cooking, this got my sister almost barreling down the stairs for one of her favorite things. Anytime that bacon is cooking in the house you can expect her to show up.

While the bacon was cooking I got all of my vegetables cut up for omelets, fresh squeezed the oranges, and set the table. I wanted to make it special for her, so I set the table nicely with my bight fiesta ware china, set out candles and got them lit, and had her favorite coffee creamer out and ready for her. When she made it down she gave me this really weird look and asked "What are you doing up so early?" With my schedule change I have been getting up between 5 and 6 am which used to be closer to bed time for me than it was breakfast time, but I have adjusted and it is natural to wake up at this time now. So I told her just to relax and to be ready for a delightful breakfast with her brother today :) I got a slight eye roll and a request for extra bacon. So I thew a few extra pieces of bacon on and got the omelets going.
A sort of light western omelet, I sauté  tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, salt and pepper and then whip up my eggs for a few minutes to get them really light and fluffy with just a splash of heavy cream and add that to my pan. My favorite part is the flipping of the omelet. You just have to get all of that confidence up and do it. FLIP. Throw a little cheddar cheese on it and let it melt then slide it out of your pan onto the plate and make sure to fold over when it gets out of the pan, and then top it with some beautiful avocado slices. It was so so so good. We just sat and enjoyed each others company while Jack Johnsons, Banana Pancakes was playing in the the background. It was the most beautiful, peaceful, relaxing way to start a Saturday morning with my sister. I really enjoy days like this, it really helps to alleviate stress from the work week and to just relax and have a little "me time". Take time to wake up slow and enjoy breakfast y'all.
