They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, if you suffer from a severe case of morning blues like me, then your breakfast is likely to stay limited to an iced latte or a cup of tea on most days. Now, imagine being served a plate full of pancakes with maple syrup, crispy bacon, sausages, gooey eggs, buttery croissants, waffles, baked beans, mushrooms or sundried tomatoes one fine morning – would you be able to refuse it? Of course not! Because no day that begins with breakfast this heavenly can end badly. Don’t you think?
