petit déjeuner

You know what’s incredibly delicious? Breakfast for dinner. This just occurred to me, literally out of nowhere.

Maybe it’s the kid in me that delights in the backwardness of eating pancakes at 6:00pm; maybe after a tough day at work, a hearty breakfast is the perfect energizer. Who knows?

Now to convince my mom that scrapping her carefully planned and balanced meal in favour of a plateful of bacon is a good idea…

I’m really not an egg person (I only like them in french toast, actually, otherwise I abhor them), but you can check out Allrecipes.com for the Top 20 Best Omelet recipes!
