Reason read: always, always on the hunt for ways to make me & myself eat breakfast.
So. This turned out to be a cookbook for young adults. I say young “adult” because there are sharp knives, frying oil and a hot stove involved. Kids definitely need to be supervised while following the recipes if they are under the age of 8 or 9 years old. True to its title, the first recipe is a banana berry smoothie. It then moves on to other typical treats like muffins and pancakes. I thought the entire was well laid out and incredibly cute. It even had a little index. I liked the photographs of the tools needed for each recipe and the trivia facts were fun, too. Did you know Pancake Day is on Shrove Tuesday?
Author fact: Brekka is a stay-at-home mom.
Book trivia: even adults can use these recipes if they are anything like me and have trouble being inspired to eat breakfast!
