Who ever said that a breakfast had to consist of bacon and eggs only not that i don't like bacon and eggs.

How about some pantone or biscotti with your morning coffee????
We also like bacon and eggs, but sometimes, especially around the holidays, a lighter breakfast is enjoyable. Below pics from Ferrara's in New York City , Grand Avenue(?) corners of Mulberry and Mott Streets.
Just placed my order yesterday........as well as gift orders. Their five pound Italian cookie assortment is enjoyed by all....and appreciated.
The Pantone yeast bread is the "next best thing" to my mom's and my husband's mom's "babka"......also, I know it doesn't sound HEALTHY, but I recall lots of the Italian men only had "cookies and coffee" for breaskfast.
Bacon and eggs, and big American style farm breakfasts were not the norm among the Italians of the olden days. love those pignoli (pine nut) cookies and the maccaroons (coconut). Our adult kids like the rainbow ones.
