Good breakfast is necessary to start a day: nutritional, energy, better concentration, and control weight. For decades, we usually have a fancy Sunday breakfast, a nice table setting, with background music. We try to eat outdoors as much as possible, even been know to sit with our coats on, with snow on the ground in Germany. Mike prepares egg dishes. This Mexican dish is great for any morning.
