This isn’t really much of a recipe but with 4th of July just around the corner I thought I would share this fun breakfast idea with you. Sometimes just taking something ordinary and making a slight change can be so fun and special to the kids, and the kind of stuff I hope they always remember when they look back.
Last year on 4th of July we made these fun Breakfast Tacos as another way to incorporate our red, white, and blue and the kids loved them! I had almost forgotten about them but the other day when making pancakes two of my kiddos asked if they could have them again. I only had strawberries at the time for the filling but really any favorite fruit will do. I think diced fresh peaches would also be amazing!
So first cook up some regular pancakes. Make the pancakes big enough so that you can fill them with fruit. I would say at least 4-5 inches in diameter. I love the Kodiak Cakes as a quick and easy way to make pancakes. I often buy the big box from Costco and I love all the added protein when making them with milk and an egg. I also have a from scratch pancake recipe that I have used for years, and all the time up until discovering Kodiak Cakes, and it reminds me I should share that on the blog. With how busy life has become making something up from a box has become so easy that I have kind of gotten away from my old recipe though. I guess I am getting lazy in my old age. Ha!
When your pancakes are done put out some fruit and powdered sugar. We like strawberries and blueberries for all the summer patriotic holidays. If your kids are old enough they can help assemble their own “tacos” with the fruit they want. Place the fruit down the middle of the pancake and then dust with powdered sugar. I have a little powered sugar shaker to make dusting on the powdered sugar nice and easy. 
Then fold up your pancake around the fruit like a taco and dip in a small ramekin filled with pancake syrup. So easy and fun!
Do you have any fun holiday food traditions that you love to make with the kids?? I would love to hear about them!
