Eating breakfast is important (yes mom was right!) but it's so easy to think there's no time. Afterall, 5 more minutes sleep can seem like the most important thing in the world at the crack of dawn! I've been attempting to have breakfast everymorning and this is probably the quickest and easiest thing to make in a hurry. 

Just boil some oatmeal (I use coach's oats from costco - steel cut texture without taking forever and a day to cook!) and add a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon as it's cooking. then top with a spoonful of brown sugar and some milk! Delicious breakfast for 1 or 2 or 8 in just a few minutes!

Now this is also a good breakfast put probably only if you have a few more minutes.  You might have seen this waffle recipe around on other blogs and the internet as "The best waffle ever!!!!!!".  Well, with such strong anonymous endorsement I had to give it a try. It looked easy enough especially since you mix the batter the night before and in the morning you just pour it in the waffle iron. Easy!

Well they were absolutely right. This was the best waffle I've eaten in my entire life. No lie.

The Nutella crepe will always have great sentimental value to me and the Mr. Once upon a time, when things in life were not going so well for me, and the Mr. was not yet the Mr. but just a good friend, he took me on a surprise trip to the beach in the middle of the night.  At the beach, we went to the most amazing little cafe and ate big, light, crepes filled with luxurious Nutella. Eating those crepes and walking on the sand with him seemed to make all the bad things in my life a little easier to manage.  

I've had the intention of recreating that meal for quite a while. I buy Nutella (more like rationalize buying Nutella "Oh I'll make crepes!"), and somehow it's all gone by the time I get around to making it into a meal (whoops!).

But this time I had great sucess! I got up on Sunday and made the Mr. promise to not come look in the kitchen while I was cooking. When I brought the plates out the sentimental look on his face was priceless, and we sat there on Sunday morning eating breakfast and remembering the beach from so long ago.
