I don’t have the luxury of having a breakfast nook and having breakfast on my formal dining room table sounds silly. This is especially true when all I’m having is a couple pieces of toast or some pancakes. That’s why I love my kitchen island. Not only is it a great place to prepare my breakfast and lunch bag, it is also a great place to eat my breakfast. I just grab a counter stool and have my breakfast on my kitchen island. Heck, sometimes I even just have my dinners on my kitchen island and turn the television on. Especially if it’s just me or a friend or two there is no need to be formal with my good friends. We just pig out on the kitchen island and grab what we need from the cupboards and refrigerator.
The best part about eating on my kitchen island is that is it a granite kitchen island and it makes for easy cleaning. Since I’m already in the kitchen, I just throw all the dishes into the dishwasher and give the granite a quick wipe down and I’m done. For those more colloquial meals and when I’m all by myself, I stick to the kitchen and my favorite kitchen island.
