Cake for Breakfast? Yes, Please!

This morning I got together with some friends from church for a meeting. It was one of the friend's birthdays tomorrow and I decided that it would be fun to take along a little breakfast birthday treat to share. I hadn't gone to the store or specifically planned to use a recipe, but noticed that we had some strawberries in the fridge that were begging to be eaten. So I did a web search for "strawberry breakfast cake" and found a great recipe.

It's always a bit of a risk to just use a recipe from a random blog, but today it was a success! Here's the recipe for the Fresh Strawberry Breakfast Cake that I used. The only thing I changed was that I used almond milk for the 1/2 cup milk.

It was perfectly sweet and moist. Just note that if you make it, it does take an hour to bake. So plan accordingly. I do *try* to avoid sweet things in the morning and generally try to stick to eggs or smoothies, but this morning this sweet treat was just the perfect way to start the day.

A New Tradition?

A few weeks ago Ward discovered an awesome little bakery via Instagram. Guess what? It's only 10 minutes from our house!  It's actually in a little house near downtown Mesa. Ward put in an order for some chocolate filled croissants and went out early one Saturday morning to pick them up.

The croissants were still warm went he came home. Definitely fresh from the oven. The dozen croissants did not last long. We all had to show restraint not to eat them all at once.

I've been thinking about these delicious treats that we can call breakfast every since he picked them up. They are only baked on Saturday and our schedule hasn't lined up to pick some up since. But we are around this Saturday and yes, we have placed our order!

If you live near Mesa, AZ, I highly recommend ordering some of these for yourself from Proof. Just be sure to wait until I have me order in!
