I’ve never had corned beef hash. But I’m not a beef fan.

Mimosas are definitely necessary for a good brunch. And I’m always making myself hungry! Comes with the territory of my studies.

I’m a sucker for corned beef hash. Always have been and always will be. Some people think it’s gross, but to me there is nothing more comfort food-esque than corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and a side of whole wheat toast. And coffee. And a mimosa. Mmmm..

Also just sometimes a warm blueberry muffin will do the trick.

And now I’ve gone and made myself hungry again…

Brunch is a very big thing in the US. It represents a number of things.
A day off from work, sleeping late and then having your first “big” meal of the day late in the morning or early afternoon. It also has become associated with the “buffet” – another meal of overindulgence – with everything from your traditional breakfast meats, omelets made to order to spiraled hams, roast beefs, turkeys all kinds of side dishes and then decadent desserts to top it off. I owe at least a good 30 lbs to my past relationship with the breakfast buffet.
Now my idea of brunch has been slimmed down. When I get home from work on Saturdays, just after noon time, I make brunch for me and Charlie.
Usually, this is egg whites and any vegetables I can find – like spinach, onion, tomatoe – sauteed in my electric fry pan. If we have bread, I will usually line the plate with it and dump the cooked eggs on top so the flavor from the eggs will seep into the bread. I also like to make french toast which is just lite bread dipped in egg white and cooked up in the electric fry pan.
I like to top off with fruit (bananas, berries, peaches – whatever is in season)
and some cinnamon and sweetner. With a nice cup of coffee, this makes not only a great hearty breakfast but a pretty darn good dinner too.
