Sweet Breakfast

I don’t really cook much; most of the things that I have done were either by experimenting with friends or helping my mom (receiving step-by-step instructions on what to do). Yet I have a sweet tooth, so there are times when I like to make myself some simple sweet things for breakfast or to snack. 

Sweet Breakfast: 

  • Tortilla with Nutella (Apparently called Nutella Quesadillas)
    • First I heat some flour tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds 
    • Then I add and spread Nutella over them  
    • Then I close the tortilla 
    • Sometimes I also add strawberries, whip cream, and sprinkles 
  • Chantilly cream
    • Add royal Chantilly cream powder to a bowl
    • A cup of milk 
    • Then mix it for a minute with low speed 
    • Then high speed for four minutes 
    • And lastly there are times where i’ll add strawberries and sprinkles 

Even though these are very simple recipes, these are some of the few things that I can say that I truly enjoy, as even though I like many types of food (especially the homemade ones), there are only a few that I could eat any day. The tortilla with Nutella is something that I used to eat almost every day when I was a bit younger, as it was very easy to make with just two ingredients. It got so repetitive that all my family knew what snack I was making if they saw me in the kitchen. Chantilly cream is a dessert that my family and I used to eat a lot in Ecuador. It was one of my favorite treats, so eating it makes me go back to many of my childhood memories, which I hope I’ll never forget. Once I was watching a series and it said something that got stuck in my mind as it made a lot of sense to me, which was that when she was having a bad day she would eat sweets as the sweets gave her sweetness in her life, which at first sounded weird but then I realized it was kind of true as when I’m stressed or sad eating something sweet like chocolate calms me down a lot.

  1. Hey, Gisela I think your recipe for tortilla and Nutella is similar to my breakfast of toast with Nutella spread. I have never tried tortilla but I am super curious to try it out. I wonder if it’s just going to be a new type of texture that I may not be familiar with. Also, your recipe for Chantilly cream is really interesting as I never had a sort of whipped cream by itself for dessert. I relate to you as I also have an innate ability to do something that I like. For you making sweet things and for me savory foods.

  2. Hi Gisela, this recipe reminds me of crepes. I love a good sweet breakfast in the morning. When I saw this recipe it remind me of crepes, the crepe is a thin pancake you can say and you can add many toppings to it, you can add Nutella and banana, strawberries, whip cream, peanut butter, etc. And it’s so good it’s soft and sweet. I want to try the Chantilly cream it looks delicious. Does it taste like whip cream?

  3. Hello Gisela, your Nutella quesadillas sound really interesting. I myself don’t have much of a sweet tooth but I can totally understand why someone younger would like this and let be a staple meal. I also found your anecdote about this being one of the first things you knew how to make really cool and made me relate to when I would just make toasted waffles whenever I was hungry in middle school. Do you have any other sweet dishes that you and your family would make in Ecuador?
