summer solstice breakfast

This year we’re having an easy morning feast for Litha so we can get out and enjoy the rest of the beautiful sunshiney day:


Menu for a Golden Breakfast Buffet
(Servings: 4)


Sunshine Yogurt Parfaits

Ingredients:

4 or 5 6oz containers lemon soy yogurt, emptied into a bowl
2-3 cups granola
¼ cup or so of sunflower seeds
½ cup or so of golden raisins
2-3 cups pineapple, peach & cantaloupe chunks

Instructions:

Spread out all the different ingredients in various bowls and let everyone layer their own parfaits buffet-style.

Toast-point Sun Wheels – trim crusts off 4 slices whole grain toast, spread w/almond butter & top w/orange marmalade. Cut each slice into 4 triangles and arrange pinwheel fashion on small plates. You can even make it look cuter by placing a cherry or strawberry in the center :)

Sparkling Solar Punch – in a large bowl or pitcher, mix equal parts white cranberry & pineapple juices. Add a splash or two of seltzer (perhaps champagne for the grown-ups).
