To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. - David Viscott
June is a month of birthdays in our house....one after the next. And one of our favourite ways to celebrate is with a special birthday breakfast. There are so many delicious things that you can make for breakfast. Here are some of our favourties:
Homemade Bagels
Apple Cheese Danish
Sticky Buns
Almond Buns
But for my husband's birthday I decided to make fancy pancakes...
We enjoyed this twist on a traditional breakfast standard. I hope that this recipe can inspire your own creative breakfast celebration...for a birthday...Father's Day...or any other special occassion.
