Barefoot and Baking does breakfast...

Greetings on this very unstable weather day on the west coast of Sweden. I heard someone say once of the weather here that it has PMS. I actually think that is true. This morning it was a complete monsoon of rain and within moments it's sunny and back and forth for several hours until it finally decided to remain sunny....at least for now. I don't usually post about my every day things, like Sunday breakfast my hubby and I love to make, but since it has been a little while since my last post and I haven't yet shared my amazing scones recipe here, I thought what the heck! On Sundays we tend to make a little more gourmet breakfast for ourselves in which we take several hours to enjoy. Today we made what I call in my recipe book "the best scone ever!" This is so I remember just how yummy they are. Along with the scones, we made yogurt smoothies full of fresh and frozen fruits and juice. It was a very filling breakfast.

Have a great day and enjoy your food!

Here are pictures of the process and to entice you to also make some good food for your long breakfast enjoyment.

Yogurt, orange juice, bananas and nectarines












Frozen strawberries and mixed fruit added

















Blend all together for a fantastic smoothie.
There are no added sugars.

















First step to our coffee obsession...warm the milk
(notice our Aero Latte frother, it will change you frothing
experience)












Frothing, look at how high the milk got

















French pressed coffee and two glasses of frothed milk












Learning to pour the milk slowly helps
make the layers in your glass. It looks
super pretty.

















Coffee ready to drink

















Both coffees done just the way we like them.
I add a little vanilla to mine for a nice flavor.












Fresh out of the oven, warm amazing scones ready to
savor.












Nice golden, flaky top.












Smoothie in our smoothie
glass. Perfect for sipping.
