Mother’s Day Okanagan style
This sunday was truly a treat for me. My son was away on his first long distance sleep over with Grandma and Grandpa, hubby was in bed sleeping and the morning was all mine for the first time in over a year.
For once, breakfast didnt need to be rushed and designed around my young one and I could have anything my heart desired. I thought that I wanted crepes, but that just involved more effort that I really wanted to put forth and the thought of the pile of dishes after didn’t seem like a nice way to spend mothers day.
Instead I opted for a nice fresh semi-healthy breakfast of fresh baked alpine grain bread, fruit, and a big bowl of whipped cream for dipping. It was just what the doctor ordered.
I had visited the local produce the day before and loaded up on goodies. On my menu this morning was strawberries (you can’t have whipped cream without strawberries!), bananas, the biggest grapes I have EVER seen, some juicy sweet cantalope, tangelo, asian apple pear and even a couple squares of chocolate (hey, it’s mothers day, I’m allowed to have chocolate for breakfast!).
I laid my breakfast out for the usual blog shot on the kitchen table, but I eat there every day, I didnt feel like it this morning. Instead I opted for a nice warm sunbeam that was shining on my hammock outside.
The late morning sunshine along with the lake breeze and my fresh and delicious foodies, made for the best mother’s day breakfast ever. I lounged in my sunbeam and snacked to my hearts content for the better part of the early afternoon. Life just doesn’t get much better.
Happy belated mother’s day all!
