Picture"If you like Pina Coladas..."

Picture
If you haven't found out by now, I love breakfast foods any time of the day and I enjoy dreaming up new "breakfast" items almost as much as I enjoy consuming them.

Now, if you have been paying attention, you'll notice that because I was too hungry to take a picture of my pancake batter before cooking it, I am borrowing this submerged ladle picture from this previous pancake post.

Having been living in New York now for eight months and most of the time dealing with the dreary weather I was warned about (although, to be completely fair to my new state, it was a very mild winter), I found myself wishing I was in a tropical setting digging my feet into wet sand (not the type that ends up in my coffee, see below) and slurping something slushy and delicious preferably with alcohol to ease my winter woes. My favorite of the slushy alcoholic substances? Pina Coladas, and not just because there's a catchy song to sing while drinking one. 

If I had had some heavy whipping cream handy and some "whipped cream" flavored rum, I would have thrown together a satisfying topping for my pancakes. Nevertheless, these turned out pretty scrumptious and I didn't have to clean up any wandering sand.
