Karma chameleons and healthy weekend breakfasts at Kauai

You’ll note I said breakfasts, plural – that’s no typo. In a rare occurrence, we had breakfast at Kauai both days last weekend, and felt surprisingly healthy as a result! Lol. See proof of this and other meals below…

Thursday, 4 April 2019: Mid-workday flapjack treats

I worked from home last Thursday, so joined my parents when they had a teatime treat at Mugg & Bean. See our shared flapjack stack and assorted coffees.

Saturday, 6 April 2019: Kauai breakfasts and home braais

Kauai breakfast, take 1. Spec had slept over on Friday night and was with us for the weekend, so joined us when we breakfasted at Kauai at Eden on the Bay on Saturday morning. See our strong flat whites, as well as the boys' pesto bowl breakfasts and my hot almond-nutbutter-date oats pot.

Husband's parents came to braai on Saturday as Cynthia was visiting from Joburg. See various stages of braai unfolding under our big tree.

The sweet doglets snapped at various stages during and after the braai. Note the leaf on Bertie's nose in the bottom-left pic.

Sunday, 7 April 2019: Curious chameleons and homemade chicken burgers

Kauai breakfast, take 2. We'd enjoyed the previous day's breakfast so much that we repeated the experience on Sunday, with slight variations - we stuck with the flat whites but the boys tried the protein-egg bowl this time, and I had the choc-protein smoothie bowl. Yum! We'll be back, for sure.

Husband found this sweet little chameleon while busy in the garden on Sunday.

For Sunday lupper we made our own chicken burgers and ate them in the garden, followed by creme caramel for dessert. Just what Sunday tastes like!
