Breakfast Splits

We have been trying to find some new ideas for breakfast while the kids are off of school. They love idea of these breakfast splits because they get to make them themselves and you can set up a "buffet" type breakfast with the ingredients.

Split a banana... place vertical in bowl and spoon yogurt (can freeze the yogurt prior too! flavor of your choice, I used strawberry banana) in between the banana slices. Top with fresh cut fruit (strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, etc)  and then add some granola. The flavor combinations are totally up to you and the possibilities are endless!  *my kids added mini chocolate chips as well*

Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders with Syrup Glaze

 Are you a fan of the Mcgriddle from McDonalds? Well, if you are these breakfast sandwhiches are perfect for you to make at home. They are super easy and taste just like a mcgriddle, which won over quite well with my kids when I made these. The entire house scarfed these up within minutes. You bake the sausage and eggs in a glass pan to make them rectangular shaped and also makes the recipe that much easier to make. I got the recipie here , but I will add the recipe below for convenience!

Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Slider Sandwiches with Syrup Glaze

Ingredients

• 2 - 12 roll packages of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

• 2 - 16 oz Jimmy Dean Sausage, Original flavor

• 12-14 large eggs

• 1- 11 count package Great Value colby jack cheese slices

• ¼ cup butter

• ¼ cup syrup ( I used slightly less syrup & still tasted great)

Instructions

1. Spread sausage evenly in the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish and pat down. Scramble eggs in a bowl, then pour into a second 13x9 well greased baking dish and bake at 350F for 18-22 minutes or until the eggs are set and the sausage is 170F.

2. Slice through the Hawaiian rolls horizontally and place the bottoms of the rolls in a 13x9 baking dish.

3. Layer the sausage, eggs and cheese slices on top and then place the tops of the rolls on top.

4. Use a knife to follow the lines of the rolls and slice through the layers to form individual sandwiches.

5. Melt the butter in a microwave safe dish. Stir in the syrup until it is completely combined and appears creamy.

6. Brush the syrup mixture over the top of the sandwiches allowing it to drip between the cracks.

7. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted.

8. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Summer Highlights Spray

I love using natural products and adding my essential oils to my everyday routines. Below is a recipe for a Summer Highlights Spray.
