Ways to brighten up your breakfast!
Breakfast for me is the most important meal of the day. For my family, its the meal where me, Aldrin and the get the kids get together. Aldrin goes to the office so he eats lunch there and most of the time, the kids are already asleep when he gets home. I take the breakfast meal seriously, I want the kids and of course my husband to really enjoy their breakfast. Aside from preparing meals that are delicious and sure to give boost their energy for the start of the day, I also like the food to be presentable.
Even if the dish is just simple, the presentation makes a lot of difference.
And so, here are some of the breakfast meals that I’ve prepared for my family. The one below was taken this morning. I used a small rounded container to mold the fried rice, topped the luncheon meat with a pineapple ring, the juice of the pineapple will be soaked by the luncheon meat which will also sweeten the usual salty luncheon meat. Then as an accent, I made dots using ketchup. Viola! A masterpiece!

Another breakfast meal that I prepared is tinapsilog (tinapa,sinangag and itlog). I just served the rice, buhaghag style. I call the presentation, Carinderia style actually. There is a slice of papaya on the side and the tinapa is served with toyomansi and kamatis. Still looks good if you ask me, pinoy na pinoy, what do you think?

Now, here is how I serve my usual breakfast (part of my diet). Oatmeal, fruit and coffee.

And last weekend, we sort of had a pancake art class. I prepared mini pancakes, then served them with sliced apples and strawberries and chocolate syrup. Aldrin and I asked the kids what they want us to draw in their pancakes. I must say, the kids super enjoyed eating their pancakes with the funny doodles and fruits.
