What’s the best meal of the day? If you said anything other than breakfast, you’re wrong! Breakfast foods have got to be my all time favorite. I especially love nights when we have breakfast for dinner! I have so many great memories growing up going out in the morning to grab some coffee and chocolate chip pancakes with family at a local diner. Although, now that I have kids of my own, I’d like to create some new memories with them. Now that Aimery is out of school for the year, we have more time in the mornings to make fun breakfast foods that also fuel our bodies.
