Simple Saturday: My Favorite Summer Breakfast

Good morning, ya’ll!

I hope you’re starting a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. I don’t have much planned this weekend, and I’m totally ready for some lounging, re-watching the second Hobbit movie with my husband, and getting ready for a super fun week this week (my mom and her best friend will be in town and it’s Jason’s bday!)

Today, I wanted to take a quick minute to talk about my absolute favorite summer breakfast.

It’s melon season! Yippee! I’m really happy when I can keep a big Pyrex of some sort of melon in my fridge every week of summer.

From watermelon to cantaloupe, I love it all. When I bring home a melon from the store or farmers market, I like to make it easy on myself and just break it all down (I have a very large serrated knife for this job) and keep it in pieces in the fridge ready to eat at any time.

Then, when it’s breakfast time, I get out a half a dozen or so pieces of melon, top it with a few tablespoons of yogurt (I’m a plain gal, but it’s up to you), then sprinkle with some homemade granola. When you break down the melon and make the granola in your, maybe weekend, free time, then you can fix this quick breakfast anytime.

I guess I like to do this with peaches, too, but we’re not quite into that season yet.

You’ll have a blast exploring all of the textures, spices and tastes, and you get to eat a whole big healthy bowl of it!
