To me, muffins are basically a way to have cake for breakfast on days other than the morning after your birthday party. The best muffins come together quickly, have some fun textures and flavors, and scratch that cake for breakfast itch. Blueberry streusel muffins check all those boxes. They have a soft cake crumb, sweet juicy berries, and a crumbly streusel topping. Combine that with ingredients that are easy to keep on hand, and you can have these muffins on your brunch table in about a half hour. More

Some mornings only something sweet, salty and fried will cure what ails you. These simple fritters come together in no time with ingredients from the pantry and freezer.

Spring is here, and with spring comes lovely fresh vegetables. There are many vegetables that can be happily folded into an omelet, but the size and shape of asparagus make them particularly ideal.

We've all had those moments when everything clicks perfectly into place and your mind becomes clear: put the bacon in the pancakes. And adding the maple syrup to the batter is the logical next step.

Sausage rolls may not be as popular as they once were, but they are begging for a revival. They're spectacular for breakfast: savory sausage wrapped in delicate puff pastry with a hint of mustard, which adds necessary acidity. They can be assembled the day before, then simply brushed with egg and placed in the oven once the guests arrive. And if you happen to have any leftovers they make a fantastic weekday lunch as well.

Easter brunch is always a big deal. Whether it's lots of family, or a few friends hunting for eggs there is always a lot of last minute rushing around. It's times like this when I think to myself: there has to be a better way to make breakfast for eight than cooking 8 batches of French toast one at a time. Enter French Toast Casserole. This simple baked French toast is perfect for an occasion where putting something into the oven is about all you have time for. You construct the whole thing the night before, then all you've got to do in the morning is preheat the oven, and you're good to go. More
