I was eating breakfast with my little 4-year-old boy this past weekend and as I looked up at his 4 individual items on his plate (that can never touch) they were all smushed together and he was munching away! I couldn’t believe it!
For starters - that means his palette is changing and we can finally move past plates with dividers. 🙂
But even better than that - we can start getting creative together in the kitchen! Watch out Masterchef Junior!Â
So, I decided to take his idea and elevate it with the standard breakfast toast. Move over butter, we’ve got some flavor combinations that will make your taste buds explode!
There are so many cool flavor combinations that could liven up your breakfast toast - here are 4 great ones. I’d love to hear yours in the comments below!
