Everybody's working for the weekend

It's so cliche but we LIVE for the weekend in my house.  Some of the best weekends are planned around meals and good friends.  ALL of the best weekends involve big breakfasts.  We are huge breakfast people.  So much so that, when in town, breakfasts are planned to the last detail days in advance.  See Exhibit A: an email from Kyle Thursday afternoon...

Point #1 is well taken but with a 16 month old this is usually wishful thinking.  Point #2 we mastered on Saturday morning and this morning we moved on to waffles, Kyle's favorite. While we tend to use boxed waffle mix I assure you this is no low rent affair!  We found the greatest waffle mix at HEB and also Gucci it up a bit.  A splash of vanilla and some citrus zest go a long way (we used grapefruit today but lemon and orange are great too).

Top that off with great bacon and we are good to go!  We have found that good bacon really is worth the extra $.  Last year for Christmas Kyle researched where the "happiest pigs in the U.S." were raised and had bacon from Iowa delivered in dry ice to our front door!  Today we went with Apple Smoked Uncured bacon from Central Market.  Delish! 

Cooper got in on the action too!

Afterwards, a little shirtless Swiffering.  He is going to be the man of some girl's dreams!!! What a hunk!

I want to know...What are your favorite weekend breakfasts???
