In the spirit of Christmas and all things holiday-related, why not give yourself the gift of an amazing breakfast this year?! I know…the idea of COOKING another meal probably doesn’t sound like much of a gift, right? Unless you find someone else into doing the cooking for you (hint, hint: mama wants breakfast in bed this year!). But I promise these recipes are JUST THAT GOOD, and the cook time is minimal!

Outfit & Kitchen Details:?

Splendid PJ Set (similar here for $20!, available here in Red Stripe on sale, short set available here), Glass Mixing Bowl Set, Dual Tip Pancake Pen, Milk Carafe

So gather up the ingredients, make a cup of coffee, and set the tray for a delicious breakfast in bed for you and the mister. OR (here’s looking at you Mr. Claus) have your partner do all of the above. Either way, end 2019 on a sweet note with your sweetie with my five favorite healthy pancake recipes! And if you’re not a pancake fan, don’t worry. I have a couple other options thrown in as well.
