Breakfast in Bed

by jenna on November 29, 2009

Happy Sunday!

I started my morning with a little somethin’ somethin’

Oh friend, how I’ve missed you. :)

I tried a new combo in my oats this morning—used 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, 1 banana, 1/2 scoop protein, 2 tsp maca and a glob of almond butter.

Tasted even better eaten in my bed:

Here’s a dirty little secret: I eat breakfast in bed EVERY MORNING. I mean, why not? It’s not like I have a kitchen table or even a couch to sit on. Why not be warm underneath the covers? And so I do. Try it sometime!

I’m jumping in the shower, meeting a friend for coffee and then heading to work. Have a great day everyone!

I love breakfast in bed. It’s such a cozy and comforting start to the day. I used to eat my oats in bed every morning as well until I finally got an oat table that I love eating my meals at. I still love coffee and tea in bed, though!

I love breakfast in bed, too! Haven’t done it in awhile though…thanks for the reminder! The maca sounds interesting. I’ll have to look into that. :)

Breakfast in bed sounds great!
Unfortunately, I can’t control my heat and it’s sweltering in here! Sadly, I couldn’t wait to get out of bed this morning!

Love your cute little bowl! Wow, last time I had breakfast in bed was on my husband’s birthday back in August! Funny how I can remember that I made breakfast quesadillas with my panini press. Perhaps I’ll have to do it again sometime :)

I wish I was less anal and could eat breakfast in bed, but I always worry about getting oats or nut butter on the sheets ! :)

Love good food in bed but sometimes my perfectionistic ways find it impossible to enjoy it without a table. Sounds delightful though. I always love room service at hotels!

I only have air conditioning in my bedroom so in the summertime I crank up the A/C and drink coffee under the covers. It’s perfect!

Almond butter is just so good . . . it’s been a while since I’ve had it too! It’s on my “list of things to buy after I graduate and get a job.” Also on the list: sugar-free hazelnut soy lattes! Plain coffee, while less expensive, is just not the same!

I aaaalways eat my oatmeal in bed. Gets a little tricky when I have a plate of pancakes though…then I usually have to migrate to the table or I get spots of syrup on my pillows ;)

Why not eat breakfast in bed?? I would do it too if I didn’t have a table or a couch. I’m a couch eater, well I eat usually on the couch. :) I don’t blame you. Glad you are refilled on almond butter!

That 365 Almond Butter label has me planning a visit to Whole Foods this week. Yum. Another yum–breakfast in bed. Especially New Year’s Day watching the Rose Bowl Parade.

I LOVE almond butter. And coffee in bed while I surf the net (or blog).. I’ve never heard of maca. Just might have to try that in my oats sometime. Happy Sunday. :)
