Breakfast Of Champions

Every Sunday, we try to have a big family breakfast together since during the week we don’t get to eat together and on Saturdays, we usually just have a quick breakfast before we tackle our to-do list.  I figured I’d start sharing these breakfasts with you because I try to experiment new dishes each week… however, this week’s was an oldie but a goodie…

Spinach & swiss 2 egg omelet with a slice of canadian bacon spinkled with fresh ground black pepper & sea salt…

Pumpkin Brew

Good Afternoon :)   It’s pumpkin season and I have officially found my new favorite pumpkin treat:  Godiva Pumpkin Spice coffee…I recently received samples from Godiva as part of the Foodbuzz Featured Tastemakers program and was waiting until it officially felt like Fall to try them out.  I received Caramel Pecan Bark, which was yummy, but honestly, it doesn’t come close to the Pumpkin Spice…  it is super spicy and warms up your entire body with just a sip – plus it is a bit bolder than I am used to, which has helped me get going in the morning ;)

I typically set up our coffee the night before and it goes off when we are getting up in the morning – major time saver… Well, I have been waking up in such a good mood because our entire house smells like pumpkin bread :)   I did first enjoy this coffee like how I enjoy all other coffee – with a splash of 1% milk; however on weekends, I have been splurging and using a pumpkin creamer that my grocery store sells – and it is AMAZING!

I have been drinking it faithfully every morning and I’m sad to say it’s all gone already… I am going to finish up the Caramel Pecan Bark, but I will be looking forward to opening up a fresh new bag of the Pumpkin Spice because I spotted it in stores yesterday!
