Breakfast is a popular meal in our house.  Requests vary from savory items, such as cheesy grits or omelets, to sweet items, such as cinnamon rolls and scones.  The amount of time available to make breakfast also helps to determine what will be made.

This past weekend both my husband and I were craving something sweet.  However, I didn’t feel like spending lots of time in the kitchen or making a batch of baked goods when only the two of us were home.  And pancakes are made fairly frequently for the kids, so I was seeking something different.

As we tend to do when we don’t have kids with us for a meal, I considered breakfast items that wouldn’t be appealing to the kids.  While most of them do like French toast, not all of them would like having it coated with pecans, which meant it would make the perfect breakfast for two!
