Waking up at 6:30am on Saturday is not my ideal weekend starter. Waking up at 6:30am on Saturday for WORK is definitely not my weekend starter, but I figured I’d give Jeremy some company at work. After we left his office we were super hungry so we took a drive around the city looking for breakfast places. For some reason The Edge caught my eye, so we agreed we would eat there.
I was super happy to have my first cup of coffee. I normally don’t go out of the house without coffee. I love fresh brewed coffee from breakfast restaurants, it reminds me of coffee on Sundays after church with my mom.
Their breakfast menu was ENDLESS. You could literally have anything you have ever imagined. I was torn between yogurt, oatmeal and an egg white omelet. I chose the Pineapple Paradise Yogurt.
They sliced open a pineapple and added black berries, melon, strawberries, walnuts, honey, yogurt, blueberries, granola and raisins. I loved how light and refreshing this dish was. I was expecting it to be drowning in granola and nuts, but they added the perfect portion sizes.
Sometimes I put yogurt or cottage cheese in my cantaloupes but I have never thought about serving yogurt like this. I will definitely be making versions of this at home. At the bottom of the bowl there was about 1 inch of pineapple still attached, so I scooped it out and blended it with the leftover yogurt.
I had an option to choose any of the fresh bakery muffins to go with my yogurt, but I asked the waitress if I could have whole grain toast with no butter instead. I love muffins but theirs were jumbo and loaded in sugar. The toast was amazingly delicious. If you are ever looking for a healthy and not healthy place to eat in Chicago check this place out! Just look for the purple!
