🌼 My Breakfast Tip

Big breakfasts don’t need to be complicated. It’s about cooking with love, enjoying the aroma, and sharing joy at the table. Some mornings I make the English breakfast; other days, I just have pancakes and fruit. What matters most is that feeling of comfort that food brings.

So next time you wake up, take it slow. Turn on some music, warm up your pan, and make yourself a big, happy breakfast. You deserve it. ☀️
