Hey yinz. It’s Quarantine Day 7 here. I have occupied my days with painting my entire house (do not tell my boss) and trying new recipes. Gov. Wolf just issued a mandatory Quarantine for at least two weeks so I will be added lots of “new projects” to the mix – stay tuned.

Most days I wake up and look for a simple grab & go breakfast as I start my tasks for work. My favorite lately has been the tried and true staple of toast. While my toppings may change, my preferred Gluten Free loaf does not. Canyon Bakehouse has by far the greatest gluten free bread. It stands up on its on, has flavor, and does not contain air holes. Most brands do and you end up with a crouton instead of a piece of toast.

In terms of toppings I usually go for vegan butter and jelly. My favorite brand being Miyokos Creamery. Or the quintessential classic of peanut butter and banana. As you can see from my photos I like to have fun with my food lol. Here is the link to the adorable cookie cutters: https://amzn.to/2xqTGvI . Also, whoever said that almond butter was a direct replacement for peanut butter was a liar. There is nothing like crunchy peanut butter that just begins to melt a little against warm toast as it glues your banana slices down. Whatever toppings use you use, toast is a crowd pleaser. I am not sure why we haven’t embraced “Toast Boards” at brunches. Ya no, all different types of bread on a platter with a second platter that holds an abundance of toppings. I think I might be on to something here….
