This year Wimbledon has seen its fair share of drama, Venus Williams and Roger Federer defeated in the quarterfinals and Venus and Serena losing the doubles competition in the quarterfinals to Russia’s Vera Zvonareva and Elena Vesnina. And on Friday to the great dismay of  David Beckham, we watched Rafael Nadal take down Andy Murray in three sets. That being said we have been able to witness a fair share of new talent  including Bulgaria’s Tsvetana Pironkova and Czech’s Tomas Berdych.

Breakfast at Wimbledon:
This year’s singles matches between Serena Williams & Vera Zvonareva and Rafael Nadal & Tomas Berdych will be action-packed. I have always wanted to have a Breakfast at Wimbledon party, however I am not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination.

Here are a few of the dishes that I would serve:

• English Breakfast Tea
• Scones and jam
• Eggs Benedict
• Scalloped Potatoes
• Asparagus
• Strawberries and Cream
• Mimosas

Cheerio!

When I can’t convince anyone to make blueberry pancakes, my favorite Sunday breakfast is a mushroom and cheese omelette with thyme. Thyme is a easy-to-grow herb that loves hot weather, perfect if you, like me, forgets to water.

Ingredients:
3 to 4 eggs, I prefer a combination of 1 egg and 3 egg whites
1/4 cup of mushrooms, shiitake are good
1/4 cup of shreaded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon of  fresh thyme
salt & pepper

1. Lightly cover a frying pan with cooking spray. Saute the mushrooms for about 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

2. Remove mushrooms. In a small bowl, mix the eggs and add the thyme. Salt and pepper to taste.

3. Pour the mixed eggs and thyme into the pan. Add cheese and mushrooms. Heat mixture until the eggs are gelled. Fold in half.

4. Serves two. Great with whole wheat toast and bacon.
