Breakfast is the most important meal of
our everyday lives. Do not skip your breakfast, it should be taken
everyday without fail in order to start up our day in a bright note and
provides energy.
Light and sustaining or hearty and
satisfying, a breakfast offers a good start to the day. Taken later is
can double as a lunch, named brunch, and will ensure that you last the
course until dinner or supper time. Carefully balanced for variety,
exquisitely arranged and prepared it also makes the perfect entertaining
occasion for busy people in a hurry.
The hearty, pan-fried full English
breakfast assembly seems to have lost favor, for weekdays at least, but
has been replaced with a more convenient and healthy alternative -
cereals, fresh fruit, natural yogurt, whole-grain breads and eggs in all
their guises. Mixed and matched they offer a daily variety that will
never bore - especially if you make your own cereal mixture, fruit
salads and nutted, seeded or flavored breads according to family likes
and dislikes or what is in season. Make muesli in bulk for economy of
effort and cost, and add luxury items like special dried fruit, toasted
nuts, sliced fresh fruit, honey and yogurt to the individual bowl as
liked. Or make a chilled breakfast fruit salad using fresh or dried
fruits in quantity - it will keep cheerfully in the refrigerator for up
to 4 days and will easily double as a dessert in a hurry. Warm and serve
with yogurt or cream for breakfast to ring the changes.
For some, breakfast is a meal that is hard
to warm to - for those a selection of 'meal-in-the-glass' alternatives
have been suggested in this section. Undoubtedly they will also appeal
to those who take breakfast on the move. |
