Are you a sweet or savory breakfast person? Or both?
I would say I’m both. As a kiddo I was definitely sweet, but I think most kids go for the sweet stuff like french toast (was my favorite!) instead of the veggie omelet (which is now my favorite!). Just my assumption.
As an adult, I now know that pancakes, donuts, muffins, scones and french toast just are not always the best way to start the day.
I sure wish it was though…
However? Every once in awhile it’s completely and totally fine with me. This is why I made Vanilla Scones this week! I was having a little coffee breakfast craving for something sweet and I wasn’t about to whip up pancakes before work. 36 weeks pregnant here – we need our sleep!
