Lately, life has been too crazy for me to cook and bake like I want, but today I was able to take some time today to make some breakfast.
I love to do breakfast. I was able to find the time to make up some pancakes for me and my roommate Julia. A photographer friend took me out for coffee yesterday, and kindly bought some fresh peaches at a local farm/produce stand on our way to our vehicles. Immediately I began imagining those peaches being used on some pancakes or waffles.
I like to dress up pancakes and waffles. Yes, they are yummy plain, but when you use fresh eggs from your own chickens, and top it with fruit, coconut and pecans with a little chocolate drizzle. You add a touch of pizazz to your breakfast that makes starting your day fun.
It isn't difficult to do a little extra work cutting up some bananas, peaches, digging out some coconut and pecans to dress it up a little. Plus, you can have a lot of fun with your presentation. If I had been thinking far enough in advance, I probably would have layered a few banana slices between the layers of pancakes, but I think stacking the various fruit items can also be pretty. As much as I love syrup, when you start putting extra yummy things on your pancakes you don't need as much. I do a little butter slab between pancakes, top with the fruit, drizzle some chocolate sauce, you have a pretty presentation and a delicious breakfast.
Have glasses of orange juice or cups of coffee ready and you can surprise who ever is just waking up!
The ingredients for what will become a yummy breakfast!
