I have such a love/hate relationship with Sunday. I love that it means leisurely brunches, relaxing with a newspaper and a variety of sports on TV. I hate that it is the day before Monday, which means the weekend is quickly coming to an end. Sunday really is a funny thing because while it is so enjoyable, for me there is always that underlying feeling of dread for the impending busy work week ahead. I used to waste my Sunday having a bit of a pity party for myself, with the phrase, “I don’t want to go to work tomorrow,” constantly being whimpered from my spot on the sofa. However, more recently I have tried to make better use of my weekend. I mean, those days are precious, I shouldn’t be worrying about Monday until, well, Monday right?
One of my favorite ways to begin my Sunday is with a really amazing breakfast. From pancakes to muffins or baked eggs, it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s utterly satisfying. Huevos Rancheros (Ranch-style eggs), are a newly found love. Not that I hadn’t heard of or seen them on a menu before, but when I was younger I had a bit of an egg phobia. As I’ve grown to appreciate the wonder of the incredible, edible egg (ha!), I have tried many more egg dishes and this is my new favorite.
How can it not be? A warm corn tortilla topped with spiced black beans, a fried egg, Roasted Tomato Salsa and a sprinkle of cheese and cilantro is a perfect Sunday morning pick-me-up (epecially if you’ve had a few cervezas the night before!). And don’t forget how simple and easy it is to throw together (very important on busy mornings). Just try and have a bad day after this breakfast, I’d say it’s impossible.
