Time for
breakfast
Put the kettle on and start your morning the right way
Writing | Ellen Hoggard
Breakfast is one of my
favourite meals of
the day. While there
are so many options
available, it’s easy to fall into a dull
routine, with a lacklustre, soggy
and sugar-filled cereal. Of course,
sometimes you really want a
piece of toast to complement your
morning brew, but when you have
a busy day ahead of you – whether
at work or the weekend – you
need something to sustain you.
This month, we’re bringing
you three simple, nutritious, yet
delicious, recipes to try at home.
You can prepare these ahead
of time, or indulge in a slower
morning. Whatever works for you.
Go on, put the kettle on and start
your morning the right way. Have
a great day!
