Piña Coladas: They’re not just for breakfast anymore!

Hold on, scratch that. They’ve never really been for breakfast. Unless, of course, you’re unemployed. Or at an all-inclusive Caribbean resort. Or both.  But that, my friends, is about to change. Because thanks to the fine folks at the Latin kitchenware company IMUSA, I’m about to bring everyone’s favorite tropical cocktail into the land of pancakes! That’s right, I said pancakes. Because when IMUSA asked me to help develop recipes for use with their products, they knew to expect the unexpected.
