Breakfast Party

            Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, no questions asked. For those of you interested in hosting a breakfast party for your friends I have all the tips and recipes you need to pull it off without a hitch. For this extravagant meal I recommend 3 dishes; avocado toast, fruit and yogurt parfait, and an acai bowl.

The ingredients are as follows, everything can be found at your local Whole Foods or Earth Fare.

Time: 30 minutes to cook, 2 hours to prep

8 avocados - $8

16 eggs - $2.50

16 pieces of Dave’s Killer Bread - $12

32 oz of vanilla greek yogurt - $5.69

8 cups of granola - $5.84

4 lbs of strawberries - $9.34

4 lbs of rasberries - $8.36

16 packets of acai – $29.56

16 tbsps of Almond butter - $14.02

16 tbsps coconut flakes - $3.87

16 tbsps flax seed - $2.62

16 tbsps chia seed - $6.45

8 mangoes - $8

16 kiwis - $14.24

You will also need a blender, a pan, a spatula and utensils and dinnerware.

First, text your friends to come to breakfast on Saturday morning in the Longstreet Means lobby. Then begin cooking in the Longstreet Means kitchen.

To make the parfait place 2 oz of vanilla greek yogurt in 16 small bowls. Dice 2 lbs of strawberries and evenly distribute amongst the bowls. Top with ¼ cup of granola. Set in fridge until ready to serve.

To make the acai bowl, first dice up all remaining fruit. Then blend each acai packet and place it in a medium sized bowl for each guest. Have all ingredients for the acai bowl laid out (all fruit and seeds, coconut flakes and almond butter).  Place all ingredients in the fridge to store until you’re ready to serve.

To make the avocado toast, begin toasting the bread. Then spread 1/2 of the avocado on each slice of toast.  Individually crack an egg into a pan with oil on medium high heat. Ha

If I had more time, I would talk about the length of how long it took to make. What I would do if I had a bigger budget/better kitchen. I would also talk about a theme for my meal and why I would shop at Earthfare.
