Best Weekend Breakfast Ideas

March 19, 2009

Carrot Cake Pancakes

I like you.

No..,  I’m being completely serious here.  I totally like you.  I think you’re great.  You know when you sometimes steal the covers and fart in your sleep?   That’s cool with me.  Maybe that happens to all of us.

Yes.  You.  I like exactly who you are.

I’d like to make each and every one of you breakfast.  This weekend.  You and me.  Let’s do it!  The only little snafu is that, I can’t be everywhere, making everyone breakfast.  I’m going to need your help.

Will you make yourself breakfast on my behalf?  Sure, it might sound a little silly, but I’ve got my serious face on right now.  If you’ve been around these blogparts for more than a minute that you probably know that I love… I seriously looooove breakfast.

See, I love breakfast and I totally like you.  I thought that maybe… in this really cool way… you could find a recipe here on Joy the Baker, make it for yourself for breakfast this weekend… and maybe that way just feel a hint of exactly how rad I think you are.

Can we do this together?

Jump on over and drool through some of my favorite breakfast recipes.  Pick one.  Make it for yourself this weekend.  Share it with friends.  Share it with husbands and families.  Make the wife breakfast!  Make yourself feel good with a little weekend breakfast, and you’ll experience a just a bit of how good you all make me feel every day.

Carrot Cake Pancakes.  Say you will.

Chocolate Chocolate Banana Bread.  Say you might.

Enjoy breakfast and don’t be afraid to let me know just how great it made you feel!

I love breakfast too! I have a bunch of brown bananas calling to me to turn them into a loaf of banana bread or your delicious looking pancakes! I think I just might do that tomorrow morning!

I just discovered your website the day you made this post… so of course I stayed awhile (like a day!) and went through your archives. After much consideration, I decided to postpone my Joy the Baker Breakfast weekend until this coming weekend in order to make Sourdough Pancakes! Starter started on Monday… pancakes by Sunday?? Keep up the amazingness in the kitchen :D

I don’t remember how I found your blog, but its a gem and a fabulous discovery. After weeks of admiring your posts and thinking, “Hm, I should try that and that and that…” I finally did it. I had the day off and made myself the banana walnut pancakes and syrup. What a wonderful start to my 3 day weekend. The pancakes were so fluffy and the syrup…soo sweet and delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipes, pictures, and thoughts. Its a wonderful addition and inspiration to be sweet and fabulous in and out of the kitchen.

These recipes look amazing! During the week, in case you’re looking for some simple, healthy & organic breakfast options to grab on the run in the morning, consider Van’s Organic Frozen Waffles. Made from all natural ingredients, these waffles are free of dairy, eggs, trans fat and preservatives. They also have wheat free varieties, mini sized waffles rich in calcium for kids, or a great 97% fat free option. Or, keep in mind Eggology’s new organic Hardboiled Eggs or their On-the-Go Egg Whites – organic scrambled egg whites ready in 95 seconds in the microwave.

In addition, Barbara’s Bakery has a range of all-natural and organic cereals and bars that might be of interest, such as their Puffins, Weetabix, Ultima or Shredded cereals. More info at BarbarasBakery.com, VansFoods.com & Eggology.com. Here’s to a healthy & happy breakfast. -Shaina with the team at Barbara’s Bakery, Van’s Intl. Foods & Eggology
