Breakfast (aka: best meal of the day)

birthday banana bread (with confetti!)

Mike made a riff on this recipe from AllRecipes.com. It turned out delicious, and the M&Ms he used made it look like it was filled with birthday confetti. You can see his modifications below the photo.

Mike's modifications to transform it into festive birthday banana bread:

He halved the recipe, then reduced the sugar by half again, so he could add M&Ms left over from Halloween. They gave the bread a confetti appearance - fun for a birthday breakfast! Also, instead of all-purpose flower, he used Gold Medal's "Better For Bread" flower, which is finer in texture (and also makes great homemade pizza crust and noodles).


secret ingredient for super yummy french toast

Mike likes to add a secret ingredient. Since we'll all friends here, I'll let you in on it: French vanilla coffee creamer (the refrigerated kind). He puts a splash or two in the batter. It adds a rich flavor and is super deliciously aromatic while it cooks. Shhhh — don't tell him I told you. ;)
