Recently, breakfast has been a main gathering meal. We fixed eggs, grits, bacon and toast for a crowd of hungry college boys one day last week. Saturday morning we fixed the same for Jay and his friend, Shelby, who had flown in from Michigan. Sunday morning we fixed a spur of the moment, lighter breakfast for friends visiting from Raleigh.
Saturday night we drove down to Spartanburg, SC to watch the Wofford Terriers first football scrimmage of the season. After the rainy scrimmage, we met David and teammates Devin and Martin at a mexican restaurant. We enjoyed seeing the boys and the mexican food was great. It also came in giant quantities which is always important for these guys.
The mexican restaurant was near The Fresh Market in Spartanburg so we migrated over there. We love The Fresh Market. Actually we love going to grocery stores in general. But we cannot pass any Fresh Market anywhere without going inside. No trip to The Fresh Market is complete without buying Cinnamon Hazelnut Coffee, some kind of great bread and bacon. On this trip to the Spartanburg store, we found the coffee, English Toasting bread, All Natural 8 Grain Bread, and Hickory Smoked Bacon.
Fortunately we made that Fresh Market trip, because our friends Steve and Patty were in town and we invited them last minute to come over for Sunday morning breakfast.
David made Cinnamon Hazelnut coffee and fried a ton of Hickory Smoked Fresh Market bacon. I fixed a bowl of fruit and buttered and toasted both kinds of Fresh Market bread. Then, I decided to make yogurt parfaits. I have never really liked yogurt that much, but once when we were in a hotel in Raleigh, we tried their yogurt parfait and it was really good. I asked the chef how he made it and he laughed and said it was just vanilla yogurt, fresh blueberries and granola. I love a recipe with three ingredients.
Sometimes I make these in a pretty parfait glass. Other times I have made them to go in a plastic cup. Either way they are quick, easy, healthy and good.
