breakfast for dinner

Fourteen and Fantastic

The weekend of birthday celebrations continued today!

Chickadee started the morning off at church, where the congregation sang “Happy Birthday” to her after the service!

When we got home, she opened her presents:

For breakfast, she wanted the coffee cake we always have on Christmas, with a twist…this time, I made it with strawberries instead of cherries.

She requested “Brinner” (breakfast for dinner) for her birthday dinner, featuring Mickey waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, a delicious fruit salad, and strawberry milk tea with popping boba:

And she picked a chocolate chip cookie cake for her birthday…the decorations were inspired by the colors of the Honmoon in KPop Demon Hunters.

I had such a fun time celebrating my youngest (who isn’t that terribly young anymore!) today!

Tasty Tuesday–Breakfast-for-Dinner Week

Following the success of “Sandwich Week,” I decided to go with another themed series of meals, this time one of our family’s favorites, breakfast-for-dinner! We started with a pair of recipes from The Wizard of Oz: The Official Cookbook…”Follow the Spiral Omelets” with “Cornstalk Cheese Straws.”

We were originally going to have waffles the second night, but I found out my German recipe for the month was Kaiserschmarren (the Kaiser’s torn pancakes), so I made that instead, with a homemade cherry compote on top:

Of course we had breakfast sandwiches, this time on croissants with a side of tater tots:

I made one of our old Disney dinners of “Chef Mickey’s Breakfast Pizza” with tropical fruit on the side:

And we had breakfast burritos with blueberry-peach smoothies:

It’s been quite some time since I made breakfast casserole, so we had that with homemade blueberry muffins:

And for the finale I made French toast and bacon.

I’m trying to decide what theme I might do next…Tex-Mex is looking popular!
