Breakfast Date : Silver Spoon in Valparaiso!

Tim & I went on a breakfast date this morning!
We both had the day off, so we were able to sleep in and have a lazy morning.
We decided to go out for a nice breakfast date because, well....we.love.breakfast.
It's our favorite meal of the day.

So we settled into a cozy table at a lovely restaurant called Silver Spoon.
It's such an amazing place with a brick wall, pastel blue paint, wood tables, amazing food, and my favorite coffee.
It's called Julius Mienl. Apparently it's a company based in Vienna. Pretty delicious, smooth stuff!
So we ate our yummy food, drank our delicious coffee, and chatted & laughed the morning away ;)






Such a great way to start our Thursday!
Do any of you have a favorite breakfast spot? Or are we the only ones who are wayyyy too into breakfast?!

breakfast is the best!

This morning I woke up at 6 (on my day off, mind you!)
to cook my husband a world-class meal....well, world class in my book anyway.
I found an amazing recipe for 'baked eggs'.
They're kind of like quiche...and super easy to make.

[I originally found this recipe on Food Coma.]

Mini Baked Eggs, makes 4

Needed: 1 sheet of thawed puff pastry, 4 eggs, 1/4 cup milk or cream, salt and pepper to taste.

Cut the puff pastry sheet into 4 even squares. Place the pastry in well-greased mini pie pans. In a bowl whisk together the eggs and milk (or cream, if using). Fill pans with egg mixture, 2/3 full. Fold pastry edges over the top (just pinch them so they stay down as they will have nothing to hold on to). Sprinkle on a bit of salt and pepper.

Place the mini pans on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until puff pastry looks golden and crispy and the egg mixture has set.









Thai Iced Coffee. One of my faves!
My sister worked at a cafe, and they served this.
She told me the recipe and I made up an 'at home' version.
I used my espresso machine, but you can also use iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk, ice, and any creamer you'd like.
I personally love Silk Vanilla Soy.




you'll need: La Lechera, Silk Vanilla Soy, Iced Coffee or 2 shots of espresso


See that layer of white underneath the espresso? that's about how much La Lechera I use.
I never measure. Just layer the bottom with a decent amount.




I had so much fun making this breakfast!
It was really nice to wake up and start the day off in a creative way.
I highly suggest it ;)

Anybody know of good breakfast recipes?
I'm all hyped up to try new things!
