I love summer mornings. The start of a new day - the fresh air outside, the sounds of birds chirping, the quietness. It's like the calm before the storm around my house. Everyday. With 4 kids, my tranquil moments come far and few between. So I soak up the morning-time, enjoying it right down to the last minute that I can - then it's off to the races. When the kids get up it is "go-time" around our house, especially during summertime. Go, go, go! Nothing makes our morning run smoother than having a quick breakfast that can be easily made, devoured and cleaned up. These Overnight Tropical-Cherry Oat Parfaits & Foster Farms® Pancake Wraps totally fit the bill - and were a complete hit with the kids!

The Overnight Tropical-Cherry Oat Parfaits were so easy to put together and turned out looking and tasting fabulous. By allowing the oats to sit in the yogurt overnight they are softened, creating a fabulous texture to be served along with chunks of fresh fruit. The yogurt used in this recipe is mixed together with cherries, pineapple, coconut and macadamia nuts - giving it a fruity tropical flavor. Just pack the ingredients into a jar/cup, seal and let sit in the fridge while you sleep. Easy, peasy. These are so great for saving time in the morning!!

Although I am a winter-girl through and through, I gotta admit to loving a few things about summertime. Fresh fruit, long days and corn dogs. Yep, I'm all about those state-fair breaded goodies and it's something I look forward to every year. So, needless to say, I was SO excited to see these new Foster Farms® Pancake Wraps! It's like having a corn dog for breakfast, but with breakfast ingredients - maple-sweet pancake batter wrapped around a savory pre-cooked turkey sausage link. Each Foster Farms® Pancake Wrap has 8g of protein and is made with 100% natural turkey and no high fructose corn syrup. Oh, and they only take about a minute to cook in the microwave. Between pulling the Overnight Tropical-Cherry Oat Parfaits out of the fridge, zapping the Foster Farms® Pancake Wraps in the microwave and pouring maple syrup into small dipping cups - my breakfast prep time was less than 10 minutes. Clean up was even easier. This was such a fun, easy and delicious breakfast - perfect for these activity-packed days of summer!!

We tried Foster Farms® Pancake Wraps Original Sausage and Pancake, however there is also a Foster Farms® Pancake Wraps Sausage and Pancake Bacon, Egg and Cheese variety available. I found both varieties at my local Walmart, in the frozen section next to the corn dogs.
