Breakfast in Bed

Who wants to go to work on a Monday? Wouldn't it be nice if you could sleep in and start your day as late as you want? 

Years ago my now husband treated me to breakfast in bed. He made shrimp hash and eggs over heart shaped toast. 

Now that's a way to win a girl's heart! (Bonus points for catching the shrimp) Those were the good ole days.

Below are some things I would wish for on a sleepy morning. What elements would you incorporate into a lazy day? 

1. Vintage Pajamas 2. South Carolina Shrimp & Grits 3. Ticking Stripe Duvet  

4. Sparkling Strawberry Cocktail 5. Pajama Shorts 6. Crumbled Biscuits and Gravy 7. Sperry Slippers 8. Breakfast Tray 

Mayhaw Jelly and Biscuits

A mayhaw is a fruit that grows in the swamps and bogs of South Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. The fruit ripens in April and May, hence the name mayhaw. It's a mix between an apple and a berry, if you can imagine that.

My granddad was raised in Donalsonville, GA just a couple counties over from the annual Mayhaw Festival. A good friend travels to Donalsonville each year for a family reunion and I always beg her to  bring back a jar.  They claim to have the best jelly on earth, and I am here to tell you it is amazing.

                                      

You can eat it on everything from toast to hoecakes, but the best way is on a biscuit. Sadly, I do not have the biscuit making skills of my grandparents... I guess when I am there age I will have it down pat. Nathalie Dupree just came out with a new cookbook called Southern Biscuits which will hopefully give me a good start. Do you have a good biscuit recipe? What's your favorite kind of jam or jelly?
