Can a breakfast be healthy and clever, and not take so long to make that you’ve missed the school bus?
Bill & Claire Wurtzel’s new book, “Funny Food,” (Welcome Books, 2012) celebrates wacky and delicious breakfasts.You might not think that making whimsical breakfasts can also be quick, but this book will prove you wrong.
These waffle people take seconds to make with strawberries, bananas and even the occasional piece of bacon. Use our homemade waffle recipe or a healthy frozen one (we won’t tell).
“Your breakfasts don’t have to look like they’ll land in the Louvre,” Bill Wurtzel says. “It’s the gesture that counts.”
