Hi, friends! Happy Friday!
Breakfast
I got home really late from Milwaukee (here’s what I was doing there) on Wednesday night (technically Thursday morning), so I slept in a little and then woke up hungry for breakfast. Our kitchen looked pretty pathetic food-wise (I mean, we were totally out of bananas, which is no way to start the day), so I worked with what we had and ended up with a surprisingly delicious breakfast.
There were some leftover Sweet Potato Wedges in the refrigerator, so I mixed them with two eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and ground ginger to make a pancake, which tasted almost exactly like a ginger snap cookie. It was SO good. Mmm!
