New Year's Day Breakfast

I probably should have posted this earlier, but better late than never.  Happy New Year already to my family throughout Asia and my USA east coast family and friends. We're still waiting here on the west coast. 

So what's for breakfast for New Year's Day?  Whip up a fun and easy breakfast with food you probably already have in your kitchen that will appeal to both the grown-ups and the kids.

Kids' Meal With the New YEAR:

What you need:

1) Your favorite Pancake Mix.

2) Eggs

3) Bacon

What to do:

1) For the "2" & "4,"

pipe the numbers on a grill or pan.

The picture above is from last New Year's breakfast, hence the "3." I filled a big Ziploc bag (gallon size) with the pancake mix. I also attached a piping tip because I wanted a cleaner piping, but you can just cut the tip off the plastic bag. You don't have to, but I actually piped the numbers backwards because it gave a cleaner look when flipped over. Before you think "that's too much effort"...remember you just only have to pipe enough per child and maybe a little extra in case you mess up. I know I did some "backup" numbers.

TIP#1:  Mix the pancake mix the night before and place it in a sealed container overnight in the fridge.  It will be one less thing to do in the morning.

TIP#2:  If you REALLY want to save time, make the numbers ahead of time, refrigerate/freeze (depending on how far in advance you make them), and just reheat in the microwave the morning of.

2)  For the "0,"

scramble some eggs.  Use a cookie cutter or something similar, like a glass/cup, to form the 0. If your child prefers, you could also do a "sunny-side-up" egg.

3)  For the "1,"

use a strip of bacon.  Eat...I mean, cut to size. ;-)  If you don't like regular bacon, then you can also use alternatives, like turkey bacon.  You just want a line.

Here's a closer look with it all together.

Super Easy Grown-up Meal:

"Bacon Cheese Pull-Aparts"

I found this recipe last year on Pinterest.  I like it because you can prep it the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning.  Effortless but yummy.  Click here for the recipe.

Ingredients you will need:

1)  egg

2)  milk

3)  biscuit dough

4)  cooked bacon
5)  shredded cheese

6)  green onions

(I forgot to add the green onion last time.  See picture below.  And I forgot...again this time.  I thought it tasted just fine without it.)

Super easy and yummy.  Happy New Year's!
