You’ve asked. We’ve listened. Starting today, our biggest fans can pick up a DIR T-shirt anytime they like. And because we always like to exceed your expectations, you’ll get a copy of our Baker’s Dozen cookbook, too!

The DIR Bundle is just $10, and you’ll receive:

• An American Apparel T-shirt available in a few sizes and colors. They’re super soft, have little shrinkage, and are adorned with the blue flower that says you’re awesome…and care about your health.

• A copy of Baker’s Dozen, featuring 13 exclusive healthier breakfast and brunch recipes bound in 30 quality-printed pages with photography you’ll drool over and food you’ll actually want to make.

Women’s-cut shirts are available in hot pink for small, sunshine yellow for medium, and bright green for large. These are much more fitted through the shoulders and waist. American Apparel calls this fine jersey short-sleeve shirt “The softest, smoothest, best-looking T-shirt available anywhere.” We tend to agree.

Men’s/Unisex shirts are available in hot pink for small, sunshine yellow and baby blue for medium, bright green and baby blue for large, and ash grey for xl and xxl. For men and women, these shirts offer a more comfortable fit while still being American Apparel’s softest, smoothest T-shirt.

Every order includes a copy of Baker’s Dozen!

We really love food that’s fresh, homemade, wholesome, and pretty. So we mixed all of that and whipped up our first e-cookbook, a collection of our 13 best breakfast and brunch recipes. You’ll be tempted in a guilt-free way to enjoy Blood Orange Basil Mimosas, Sweet Potato Parmesan Hashbrowns, Fig and Honey Breakfast Quinoa, and you can even preview the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pancakes and Baked Apple Streusel Doughnuts. You’ll get the beautifully printed and spiral-bound version. When your friends really need a copy, they can download Baker’s Dozen here for 99 cents!

My daughter and I make pancakes on Saturday or Sunday every weekend. We usually do this in our pajamas and we always make a disaster zone out of the kitchen. It’s delicious bonding time that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Except maybe chocolate. But with these pancakes, absolutely no sacrifices are made.

The two of us love chocolate, strawberries, and pancakes so it seemed that marrying these ingredients would be an exciting way to get out of our standard blueberry pancake rut. We were pleasantly surprised. She enjoyed dropping her favorite fruit in to the batter and I enjoyed indulging in something at breakfast that beat just about any dessert I’d had recently.

In this recipe, you get to have a rich, satisfying serving of chocolate without overdoing it, all the while filling up on a whole grain pancake loaded with fresh, juicy strawberries.
