Step 1
To make this process as easy as possible do a few things the night before:
* Set out the ingredients, cooking utensils and serving plates.
* If you don't have a serving tray cover a cookie sheet with a pretty cloth napkin or towel.
* Get the coffee ready so, in the morning, all the kids have to do is push the on button. (VERY IMPORTANT)
* Pre-cut anything that needs slicing. -
Step 2
Strawberry Croissants
This is one of my favorite special breakfast treats.
* The day before: buy fresh croissants from the bakery in the supermarket, strawberries and Cool Whip.
* The night before: slice the strawberries, slice the croissants in half and place them on the serving plate(s), cover tightly with plastic wrap.
* In the morning: turn on the coffee, spoon the sliced strawberries and the Cool Whip on half of the sliced croissant and cover with the other half. For extra colorful yumminess top with a spoonful of strawberries.
* Serve with love and don't forget to do the dishes. -
Step 3
Fruit Salad and Cinnamon Toast
* The night before: slice favorite fruit and place separately in covered bowls. In a shaker combine one cup of sugar and 1/2 tsp (or to taste) of cinnamon. Put out the bread and the toaster.
* In the morning: turn on the coffee, Combine the fruit in a pretty bowl, if you wish sprinkle the fruit with chopped nuts for a protein crunch, toast the bread and then butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Have an older child or an adult cut the toast into pretty triangles and arrange on a serving plate.
* Serve with a smile and don't forget to clean the kitchen. -
Step 4
Jamberry Muffins
You will need:
1 3/4 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil
jar of favorite jam (if you would like berries in your muffins instead of jam use 1 cup blueberries)
The night before: Pre-measure dry ingredients and put out cooking utensils and muffin pan.
* In the morning: Start coffee. Set the oven for 4oo degrees. Spray the muffin tin with cooking spray or grease well with shortening.
* In a mixing bowl combine dry ingredients. In a liquid measuring cup combine the milk and the oil add the egg and beat with a fork until the egg is mixed in. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid into the well. Stir just until moist ( there will be lumps). (If you decide to use blueberries instead of Jam, add berries to batter now.) Fill each cup about 1/3 full with batter. Add 1 tsp of your favorite jam to each cup then cover the jam with more batter so that the cups are about 2/3 full.
* Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Remove muffins from pan and allow to cool so that the jam doesn’t burn any mouths.
* Serve with a hug and don't forget to load the dishwasher.
