* I was in a bit of a funk when I wrote this, so don’t mind me – bad days happen to everyone! 🙂 *
There are some days where you just feel like you’re on top of the world. You wake up early, the sun is shining, your hair decides to cooperate, and there’s an extra bounce in your step. You arrive to work on time, go shopping during your lunch break and after work you come home and have a fabulous supper with a well-deserved glass of red wine.
You wish everyday could be like this.
Then there are the other days. You are late for work because of sleeping in and your umbrella turns inside out in the rain/wind, making it look like you decided to swim to work in your clothes. You forget your lunch at home, the congested traffic makes getting home a nightmare and you burn you and your significant other’s supper. When you reach for the bottle of red wine, you find it empty, so you decide to turn in even though it’s only 8pm.
I haven’t personally had that bad of a day, but we’ve all been there. You try to take on the world and it ends up pushing you right down again. What’s a person to do?
In my opinion, weekend breakfast is much better than weekday breakfast. During the week, we’re often so rushed to get out the door to catch our morning commute (bus – another bus – subway) that I always find myself scarfing down a bowl of oatmeal or cold cereal with almond milk. When the weekend starts inching closer, I get excited because I start daydreaming about sunny-side-up eggs, marble rye toast slathered in butter and cheese/veggie-filled omelets.
I seriously wanted to wait until September to share this recipe. The heavenly taste of these spiced pumpkin cookies made me daydream about walking through colourful, crunchy leaves, feeling the cool fall breezes on my face and seeing cute kids in Halloween costumes. I realize that last one is more of an October event, but if this was autumn now, I would have wanted to get this recipe out as soon as possible.
Hence the fact that its only May and I’m sharing this recipe now with all of you.
Sometimes when I post a recipe here, it can be something that I’ve been planning for a long time. Buying the specific ingredients, figuring out a time of when I can bake and take photos, thinking up ideas for the photos. I’ve been known to tease Trevor with recipe ideas for weeks on end.
