Mushroom Ravioli!!!

A triage of mushrooms:
- Shitake
- Trumpet
- Cremini

A little Pecorino cheese mixed in to simply push the filling over the edge. Ravioli's are an interesting food, not only is the filling important but ensuring that the amount of filling to dough is balanced as well.
The sauce is my standard sauce that I feel is not over powering of the ravioli flavor but instead compliments the ravioli.

Another option for those people that prefer something lighter for breakfast. Fruit salad on top cream cheese.
- Strawberries
- Mango
- Banana
- Apple
- Cream Cheese
- Toast 
Everyone should be familiar with breakfast burritos, why not breakfast tacos?
Same idea, just on a little bit of a lighter scale.
- Corn tortillas, heated and melted cheese
- Scrambled eggs
- Diced tomato
- leftover seasoned ground beef from taco dinner the night before
- Avocado
- Sour Cream
