Fruit Skewers with Sweet Honeyed Yogurt Dip for S-l-o-w Sundays

Sundays are all about keeping it simple. When blessed with a morning with nothing pressing to do I revel in the thought of the possibilities. I rise before the dawn, despite my best intentions to sleep in, stretch each and every sleeping bone in my body, and marvel at the peace and solitude. The birds have risen before me and may in fact be an unintentional alarm clock to let me know that another glorious day has bloomed.

So welcome back to my kitchen my friends. Pull up a cozy chair and a warm blanket and join me a while on this Slow Sunday. Let me make you a steaming mug of chai tea or your favourite "joe" and a luscious fruit skewer with a citrus yogurt dip. Would you enjoy some old-fashioned cheese straws or a side of homemade sausage? Consider it done. Once again sleepy heads we have embraced S-l-o-w Sundays, a new feature here at More Than Burnt Toast.


Whenever the mood hits us we will highlight breakfast and brunch ideas that allow us to explore all that a leisurely morning can offer. In my home Sunday is the day for putting my feet up but depending on your schedule maybe you have Saturday or even a Wednesday to do exactly what you would like to do. No matter which Slow Day you can manage the day should be s-l-o-w, no rushing around, no big errands, just taking your time and mozying along. My idea of enjoying a Sunday morning is to have a warm cup of tea and a long and lovingly prepared breakfast. Whether I am entertaining family or friends or am going solo breakfast on the weekend is a highlight of the day. Any time spent in the kitchen is time well spent! 

So enjoy a no fuss free treat and begin your day off with a smile. This is truly one of my favourite ways to start the day.
