Home breakfast

Hot link, egg scramble with avo, Munster cheese & spinach. Toast. But first I had my mom’s red bean soup. Simple & nutritious. I used to love to go out for brunch or breakfast but now with a little baby who is peacefully sleeping on our bed, life is better now. It’s a funny thing, parenthood.

Simple breakfast

I wish I could go to brunch everyday. Okay, I only half wish that because then it won’t be as fun because it’s not special anymore.
