As if trying to figure out what to fix for dinner was not stressful enough during the week, on weekends is what’s for breakfast or brunch. I stress about these things, my boyfriend thinks is funny. Here are some ideas of what to make for breakfast/brunch. If you have blueberries, whether fresh or frozen you can make blueberry muffins (I love them), or you can make blueberry pancakes/waffles. I once tried making some brioches for breakfast, but that didn’t turn out right. Note to self, I have to try that again.

Another thing I love are eggs. I remember when growing up, on weekends my grandmother would fix my brother and I fried eggs (yes, fried in oil!) with either toast or soda crackers. We would dip that in the egg. Yummy for us! I’m glad our cholesterol levels are so far normal.  I was so used to seeing the egg yolk pink outside. Oh well. Omelets are great. You can use your imagination. I like putting tomatoes, onions, peppers, ham and cheese. Another idea is to add chorizo, onions and manchego cheese to the omelet.

You can also buy the frozen pie shell and make a spinach, ham, and cheese quiche. You can get creative and add as many or as few vegetables as you want. Frittatas are one of my favorite too. This is the only way my boyfriend will eat vegetables. I have to disguise them so well.

In the end, if you want to make something mega fast, you can never go wrong with a sandwich. No bread? no problem. I always have flour tortillas and pita bread. If you have a bakery nearby, get a fresh loaf of bread. In Puerto Rico, we love getting pan de agua or sobao (I pesonally love pan de agua, I hate sobao) and spread butter, really yummy! Hope you find these ideas helpful.
