Party at My Breakfast Blog

I think its time for a party! But before it started I had a preparty while watching Maya's adorable video...thanks for brighting up my day with giggles! I entispated there would be a crowd so I brought out the finest china of course..

Hello party of flavors! And you know if you want to have the most fun you invite the best. So I pulled out all the stops and gave a little invite to vanilla, chocolate and coconut.

Vanilla Bean Pancakes Topped with Coconut Oil and Cinnamon. With a side of Cookie Dough Coconut Ice Cream and a teacup of Chocolate Infused Coffee

The fluffy pancakes danced with the rich ice cream until I broke it up and invited some bittersweet baking chocolate chips to the plate. Even the coffee had some fun with a bit of ice cream mixed in later on.

Funny story, I've been hiding the last of the ice cream for a few days now since everyone seems to steal the good stuff. I had to tell everyone I already ate out of it and was saving the outside carton a project....in the freezer.. Hehehh >:) I did get several blank stares while I scooped some out and started plating it besides my pancakes this morning but my sister, being my late night dessert accomplice, totally understood and asked for some for her cereal. She rocks!

So your probably wondering why the party especially in the middle of the week. Right?

My Breakfast Blog's Giveaway!!! Not just a giveaway but the celebration of my 325 post...I know I know..I forgot the 300 :) So you know I had to contact some super cool sponsors for such a grand party!

The party goodie bag: 3 Sunshine Burger Free Coupons. 2 Superfood Amazing Grass Packets. 2 ProBar Fruition bars. 3 Bottles of NuNaturals Stevia including the Vanilla Liquid Stevia Drops. 3 packs of my favorite Orange Spicer tea. And the best yet...2 bags of Chia Seed, Cacao Power and 2 raw cook booklets from Navitas Naturals. I'd like to thank all the sponsors for being so generous and their support of this giveaway!

Positivity Note Jan 13 2010: 1.What is coming around the bend I do not know. But what I do know is I will conquer whatever comes my way. 2. I'm learning every day the power of the mind, we are what we believe, we are as strong as we believe. 3. Running into an old fellow student, the one that "quacked" at school, brought me so much joy that my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. 4. Blogging has become the biggest outlet for my creativity and I'm so thankful for the love I received back in comments every day!

  26. I LOVE your blogs!! you're so creative and talented! I've been reading your blog for a while, and I adore your shop :) I THINK my favorite item is the soup mug because i use little bowls and mugs for almost everything, but I love the vintage items you have as well.. I think my favorite one of those is The Traveling Snail Necklace.. but its so hard to choose!

    Oh and your breakfast this morning looked so yummy!! Ill have to look through your recipes and see if I can duplicate one for one of my snacks, but i have to get up at 5:30 for school so I never have time to have fun with my breakfast choices... but that just makes the rest of the days meals more exciting :) I think i'll have to enter your give away.. but I really don't blog often.. so maybe i'll make a special one just for you! :)
    Thanks for having such a great blog!! haha, and these give aways are AMAZING, your way tooo generous for words!! have a great day <3
