Buckle up friends - the blog is about to the bombarded with ​pictures from my latest vacation. #consideryourselfwarned 🤣 Not to worry though, I'm committed to showing some restraint and not sharing the comprehensive file --- at least in the first post. 😅  I mean, I feel like sharing 900 pictures at one time might take away from the recipes. 😂
 
Greece was amazingly beautiful.  A photographers dream - even for an amateur photographer like me.📸 It's so beautiful that it was actually hard to take a bad picture in Greece.  And that my friends, is my explanation for the ridiculously extensive collection of vacation photos. 😅   Here we go - I'll begin by sharing a sunrise photo of our hotel balcony in Santorini.   


​This was the place that we enjoyed our breakfast during our stay in Santorini.  It was a dream to be taking in this incredible view while nibbling on Greek yogurt, muesli, fresh fruit, breads, meats, cheeses, eggs, croissants, and pastries all drizzled with the most scrumptious honey, from a tray delivered to our room every morning.  It doesn't get much better than that.

This was the courtyard of our hotel in Athens.  It was under this beautiful lime tree where we sat and dined on the most amazing gourmet breakfasts before we headed into the city each day.   Egg white omelets, potato soufflés, breakfast tacos, yogurt, bagels, breads and chocolate croissants!  😅  Safe to say, we were completely spoiled by the breakfasts that we were served in Greece.

Those first couple of mornings after returning home from our trip were an adjustment.😅 No one knocked on my door at precisely 8:30 to hand me a tray of hot coffee and breakfast charcuterie.  And to my dissapointment, there was no chef preparing a gourmet breakfast in the kitchen when I stumbled out of bed in the morning. 🤣  #Imissvacationbreakfast 

It's up to me to fix breakfast again ... I guess. 😂  I actually like to fix breakfast food but, I call it brunch so I don't have to get up and start cooking too early. 😅 These breakfast potato skins were one of the most popular brunch foods that I've ever served.  They're surprisingly simple to make, super tasty and loaded with the protein that you need to keep you fueled all morning.

I hope that you didn't think that you were going to get away with just a couple of vacation pictures today. 🤣  Enjoy!
