A peanut butter sandwich with apple and black coffee on the side makes for the perfect breakfast for the author who skips her first meal of the day under no circumstances. Over the years, many like her, have come to realise how breakfast meals set the tone for the day ahead.
Yes, it fuels your body and keeps you pumped up during the day. But it is also the only meal of the day that offers one some free time; time one can spend with their partner and get an update on their whereabouts.
You must have seen your parents share a hot cup of tea with biscuits to complement the beverage every morning and discuss matters at work and home. Breakfast, if we may say, is an intimate meal and thus deserves the stature as the most important out of all three. Thus, this Valentine's Day, replace the fancy candlelight dinners or Netflix & Chill plans with a hearty breakfast date.
