Cool Mornings and Hot Breakfast


When the weather turns cooler, naturally we are ready for a breakfast that warms us and fuels us for the work of the day.  We are partial to Doorstep Bakery French Sourdough bread and find that it toasts so golden and crispy that all it begs for is a hot cup of tea or coffee and sweet jam.  We toast our breads in a black iron skillet.  It may be old fashioned but it suits our style and we like the result.


Oatmeal is always a favorite.  Somehow in the heat of the summer oatmeal just seems ridiculous but on a chilly Autumn morning it is perfect.



The coziest spot this fall morning is mom's lap.  The baby is cuddly soft and still warm from the bed and ready to curl up and enjoy a quiet morning while sharing mom's toast and jam.


*Our favorite oatmeal is Irish oats.  We like John McCann steel cut oats.  It may take a little longer to prepare but we're not in a hurry today. 
*Our best black skillet is a Lodge brand.  Our smallest skillet is approximately 30 years old.  It just gets better with each use.  I wouldn't dream of toasting bread without it.
