Cajun French: le pain (lu pain) – bread
Breakfast seems to be the meal that can be the most rushed. Simple, easy to prepare dishes are preferred and often contain leftovers. Last night we made “Grandma’s Potato Croquettes” (see prior post) updating the recipe using Salmon and Sweet Potatoes — based on one from John’s grandmother where she used white potatoes and fish flakes. The recipe makes about 12 patties so we had plenty left over.
This morning we decided to build a breakfast tower using the croquettes along with all fresh items from the Redstick Farmers Market (except the grapes and bananas) and it was great! Not only is it easy to prepare and assemble, it makes an elegant presentation. Grandma would be proud.
Mais C’est Bon!
Enjoy!!
