Typically, my breakfast consists of a large cup of coffee and two soft-boiled eggs covered in Sriracha. Sometimes, I'll change it up and have two baked eggs with ham and Sriracha. To spice things up, I'll add a piece of fruit to make it a well-balanced breakfast {Sriracha is considered a vegetable, right?}. Huck is a little different. He usually eats leftovers or a salad for breakfast. He's not a big fan of breakfast foods. On the weekend, we make breakfast together or go to The Nook, and he orders off the lunch menu every time, too. Occasionally, I do like to have something sweet for breakfast. We like to make waffles with our waffle iron, or I'll throw together a batch of muffins with some leftover fruit.
Friday, I found a few bananas in the pantry and decided to make a batch of banana scones. I placed the bananas on the counter, to help myself remember to use them... bad idea! Huck walked into the kitchen a few minutes later to discover Ginny eating my perfectly ripened bananas, peel and all!
The dog will literally eat anything. He ate a lemon yesterday, and a few weeks ago, he consumed two WHOLE pomegranates. The pomegranates came from my papa's garden and tasted amazing! I guess we can blame his eating obsession with his Cushing's Disease. We call him Hungry Hungry Hippo because, on our walks, all he does is look for food. The poor squirrels in our neighborhood are starving because he eats all the nuts. He also eats leaves, sticks, and random Jawbreakers he finds on our walks! Nothing is off-limits to this dog. Nothing, but Rachael Ray Dog Treats! It's the only food he spits out and stuck his nose up to. He literally walked away!
As bad as Ginny wants one of these Scones, he isn't getting one. Mainly because they'll probably kill him with all the chocolate, but I'm probably not even sharing anymore with Huck.
A few months ago, I made a Milk Stout for the first time. It's like having liquid dessert on tap at all times. It was the perfect beer to use in this milk stout triple chocolate scones. I drizzled a little homemade Chocolate Ganache for a little something extra. You can never go wrong with a little extra chocolate.
