Well, I am back from a slight hiatus at school and ready to eat some great breakfasts again! To start, s slightly alternative Breakfasting Idea: Go to Breakfast at a Farmers Market!
Since I live in Fairfax, I went to the Saturday Fairfax Farmers Market. There were all sorts of vendors there, far beyond produce. Today there was a Celtic stand serving pasties (a traditional British pouch) stuffed with eggs, spinach and all sorts of other yummy things. There were obviously fresh fruits of all sorts but also bread and pastries stands, jam and honey stands, and some dipping stations at a few. A perfect break to your fast.
I never would've thought of eating breakfast there but I'd like to pass on the idea so that you too can enjoy it fully by making it a plan! If I go again I might bring my own little cup of greek yogurt to put fresh fruit, local honey, and homemade granola in as I walk around!
If you are in Fairfax, see below. If you live in a different part of Northern VA, check out the Farmers Market App for the iPhone or do a google search for your area. There are great ones around here!
