Morning Musings

We spent last weekend in our aunt's modern kitchen, attempting twists on our favorite breakfast dishes. With the help of our uncle's "culinary skills" and our aunt's creative ideas, we embellished fresh French croissants and made a variety of mouth watering pancakes.

The menu included:
1. Croissants stuffed with...
- figs, honey, walnuts, and brie
-strawberries, almonds, and dark chocolate chips
- raspberries and dark chocolate chips
...All of which we dipped in french toast batter and fried

2. Gluten-free pancakes topped with...
-green apple slices and almonds
- bananas and dark chocolate chips (a favorite!)

3. Corn and raspberry jam bread (from MILK, LA)

4. green tea + milk

5. ripe persimmons and strawberries
