My Wusthof serrated tomato knife - I process a lot of fruits and veggies for breakfast in my kitchen. So beloved that when I broke my first one my DH replaced it for me at Christmas (I had a backup to use in the meantime).

Wrapped around some seriously ripe cantalope slices

Truffled risotto. YUM!

Peking!

For a nice change of pace oatmeal, especially in the fall when you can get local apples - use apple juice or cider for 1/2 of the liquid in your favorite oatmeal recipe and grate a small, not-too-sweet apple to stir into the oatmeal before serving. A little maple syrup or agave nectar, some cinnamon or nutmeg if you're so inclined - delicious and healthy.

At our bed and breakfast, I often use orange flower water as a flavor enhancer for fresh fruit in the summer. It is a great way to add a subtle bit of flavor without any added sugar. I have rose water on hand, also, but the perfumey smell overwhelms me a bit - I prefer the orange.

No local stores near me carry it, but both rose water and orange flower water can be ordered online from King Arthur Flour.
