We had a tale of two breakfasts today. One was made with farm fresh eggs (yum!) that were brought from a friend and leftovers from previous meals of quinoa, spinach, tomato and avocado. The other was a little longer to put together but well worth the effort! The Best Coffee Cake Recipe from sugarspun_sam is quite the decadent treat with cream cheese and buttermilk making surprise appearances. And, did I mention the butter? And sugar? Oh lawd, it was good to have with a hot cup of coffee. 👩🏻‍🍳. https://sugarspunrun.com/cinnamon-coffee-cake/. The Best Coffee Cake
