Patriotic Pancakes

I love the 4th of July! It is one of my favorite holidays.  Every year we love to start out our busy and fun day with these festive pancakes.

Since we are normally trying to get out the door for a parade,  I like to use our favorite pancake mix to make these pancakes quick and easy. 



















Prepare the mix ,or your homemade batter, according to the directions and then divide the batter between three bowls.  Put 4-5 drops of red and blue food coloring in two of the bowls.  Leave the other bowl plain.














Cook the pancakes.  While they are cooking, wash and slice your berries.














Arrange 1 of each color of pancake on the plate.  Top with whipping cream, berries and sprinkles.  Homemade blueberry or strawberry syrup would be delicious, too!

Enjoy!

Egg and Avocado Toast

Avocado toast has become one of my favorite breakfast foods.  It's filling and delicious, while also being quick and easy.
This is our favorite version of this yummy meal.






















You will need 2 slices of bread, 1 avocado, 1 tomato, garlic and herb Feta, and 2 eggs.

Start by cooking your eggs however you like them. We like to do either poached or fried. While the eggs are cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Mash the avocado and add some salt and pepper to taste. 

Toast your bread and spread half of the avocado mixture on each slice.

Slice your tomato and add several slices to each toast.

Next sprinkle the garlic and herb Feta on top.  Regular Feta works, but the garlic and herb flavor is our favorite with this.  

Once the eggs are cooked, add one on top of each slice and you're all set.

 

This hearty and healthy breakfast is the perfect way to start your day!
