My breakfast everyday is a very hush-hush affair. The hospital starts at 9 AM and reaching on time is an everyday struggle for me. Pancakes and waffles happen only on Sundays!

Each slice was so filling and scrumptious! All the flavours mingled beautifully!! The Hummingbirds probably fed on fruits and nuts […]
