Breakfast For Dinner AKA Brinner

Happy Belated St Patricks Day everyone! Sorry I forgot, I blame it on Tullemore Dew (and green beer). Anyway, since we missed Sunday breakfast we decided that tonight was the perfect day to make it up. Brinner it is!

If you never heard of Brinner before, it is Breakfast For Dinner. I'm sure you've had it, whether just a bowl of cereal or drunkingly made pancakes after hitting Happy Hour too hard, Brinner is the best idea since sliced bread.

This was a great break from Leftover Thursday (especially since we barely had any), though this is our typical Sunday breakfast menu. The guys gobbled this down and there was enough leftover for the Tornado to have for breakfast in the morning (we're not big breakfast at breakfast time adults, can you tell). I hope you and yours enjoy this as much as we did. Until next time amigas, adios!
