Also, we believe in a thing called "Saturday."

Good morning, friends and family!

Today, as most Saturdays, will be quite full. One must remember to eat a good breakfast, yes? Maybe twice...This afternoon we're helping my lovely in-laws move furniture, etc. into storage. We totally owe them some moving Karma, since they once helped us move up four flights of historic square spiral stairs in December. No joke. We owe everyone moving Karma, even people we've never met. So, I'm going to have a quick brunch (read: the best meal on Earth) with some friends first, but that's not until 11. 11?!? I get up with the sun! A pretty, throw-together First Breakfast (yeah, I said it) that I don't have to share with my golfing husband? Don't mind if I do. 

Dear One Life Fitness,

"First Breakfast" (and second...) is/are why we have to pay you for memberships every month, probably for the rest of our lives. 

Love and a bowl of cherries,

Sara

If you've been to our house for breakfast/brunch, I've probably made Baked Eggs and Strawberry Bread for you. I don't mean to be a bore, but it's one of my favorite easy breakfasts. Sometime, I'll whip up one of my (7) recipes for shrimp and grits or my mother's time-tested (and lightened up as of late) Christmas Morning Breakfast Casserole for you. But today, with my cup of coffee and NPR Weekend Edition on the radio, it's Baked Eggs. 

I made Strawberry Bread for Stephanie C. for brunch yesterday, and there's one slice left. My precious. And yes, that is two brunches this week! And it's not even my birthday! Find this super-easy go-to recipe here. Darn Martha Stewart and her minions. I mean staff. Oops.

And if I haven't already given you the Baked Eggs recipe, click on this. When I'm feeling blah, The Food Network can ALWAYS bring me a smile. This recipe great because it's flexible. You can follow the recipe, or use anything you've got around. Yesterday I used garlic sauteed spinach. Today, It was chopped green pepper that I barely even showed the pan. I love the crunch, and you get a bonus burst of Vitamin C. I've thrown lots of veggies, breakfast meats and all sorts of cheeses in here. It's never been anything but good and hearty. I use lower fat breakfast meats - Canadian bacon, turkey bacon, chopped lean ham, crumbled turkey sausage - and it keeps the dish from becoming greasy.

By the way, have you had the cherries this year? They are on sale EVERYWHERE and couldn't be any better. We've eaten three large bags in two weeks around here. And they're such a festive garnet color. (Go Gamecocks!)
