This breakfast is my “good bye Illinois, hello California” meal. There are no oranges or pomegranates in Illinois, meaning I rarely had them stocked in my kitchen.
After going to the Ferry Building market on Saturday in San Francisco, I realized that M couldn’t have ended up in a better place when it comes to fresh produce and local foods. Everyone usually questions him as to why he made such a big move and how did his fiancé feel about it. M usually chuckles and has to explain to them that really it was my idea and that I couldn’t be more excited.
This breakfast is easy, not too rich, and perfect for your weekend (or holiday) breakfast. Use a good bread, butter, and honey- you won’t go wrong.
