Meal #59: Breakfast
A very light breakfast. Saving my appetite for a big Sunday lunch in Moutiers:)
This was our alarm clock today at 7am. Each cow has a giant bell around her neck. So cute, I’m not even mad.
Meal #56: Breakfast
Simple and delicious! I love the local Savoie butter. It’s so creamy. It tastes of sweet fresh cut grass and mild cheese. Yum!
Meal #50: Breakfast
Mmmm…. I love France and that I’m a great cook 😉 On the menu today- Pain perdu avec abrigot et fromage blanc. Nourriture délicieuse!
I made French toast with cream, eggs, salt, and a touch of nutmeg. The baguette was VERY stale, so I let the bread soak for a long time. I toasted it in plenty of butter over low heat so the exterior got brown, crisp, and caramelized while the interior stayed rich and custardy- Parfait! J’aime la nourriture Française!
I melted some apricot jam and cut up some fresh apricots. Then I plopped a generous portion of fromage blanc in the middle and topped it all with the melted jam, fresh apricots and alpine flowers. Served it with some bitter French roast coffee and voila- breakfast!
Meal #47: Breakfast
What a lovely Alpine morning! After a leisurely walk whilst picking beautiful flowers (to flower aficionados: yes, those are ranunculus, and yes, they grow wild here!), I had toasted pain de campagne, or country bread, with butter and apricot preserves from the Savoie region. Why can’t our apricots taste this good? The jam is sooooo flavorful. Fruity and floral with the most concentrated apricot flavor. I think I’m going to buy thirty of these little jars so I can bathe in it! I also had a great cup of strong French roast coffee and some sweet and tangy cherries.
Meal #40: Breakfast
We got to go to Jaimie’s Italian again! This time at London Gatwick, where Robbie works. We got to the airport extra early so we would have plenty of time to enjoy breakfast Jaimie-style before flying to France. I had fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee with Eggs Benedict. It was really tasty! The eggs were sooo good. The yolks were orange- a sign if a healthy chicken. The hollandaise was smooth and slightly sour from fresh lemon juice. Perfect. Adam had coffee, steak and eggs. The steak was charred perfectly medium-rare. His eggs were bright orange and cooked over easy- a bit crisp on the edges and oozy in the middle. Just right for dipping toast. Love you Jaimie!
Meal #21: Breakfast
Healthy breakfast in a spectacularly beautiful setting! Hello Cliffs of Moher!

Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.
