Turkish Breakfast

I'm currently dating a Turkish fellow who decided it was time that I discovered the joy of a decent Turkish breakfast. Generally, this includes some meat, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, green peppers, cheese, bread, and whatever else you can throw together. Our meal started with frying up a little sucuk (garlic sausage pronounced soo-jook) in a pan, then cracking a few eggs on top.

Add some Turkish feta, olives, tomato, and bread. Pour some coffee or black tea and water. Done.

Since I'm always complaining about American breakfasts full of the same old crap that's too sweet for that time of day, this was perfect. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Plus, I didn't even have to do dishes.

In the spirit of food I didn't make, why don't you check out these gorgeous henna-inspired spice cookies over at Sprinkle Bakes?

Or think about busting out an edible bouquet for your next party buffet?
