2. Growing up my family would always make quirky and themed breakfast dishes. Capitalizing on this playful approach to breakfast I have created the Castles . The morning dish is comprised of two (or more) castles made of a traditional French toast foundation with either a sweet or savory theme. The dish is meant to be served in a restaurant that specializes in breakfast cuisine (the larger buying quantities helps with the cost) but can be easily prepared at home with friends and family. A castle can be made up of any ingredients you have on hand or any combination satisfies your taste. Left (sweet): French toast, thickly sliced strawberries, French toast, once-smashed blueberries, French toast, whole raspberries Right (savory): French toast, thick slice of boiled potato with pepper, French toast, scrambled eggs with eggs of Provence, top with slices of avocado Top Right: Trader Joe’s Essential Greens Veggie Juice to balance the nutrition of the meal and to add a counter weight against the sweet. Top left : Fair Trade Organic Espresso for the morning pick-me-up. Bottom Right : Agave and Maple Syrup Mix
