Breakfast & Brunch

I’ve always had a soft spot for breakfast. It’s not just the first meal—it’s a little moment of calm before the day really starts. Some mornings, I’ll throw together a cozy baked oatmeal or something hearty like a breakfast casserole. Other times, it’s just about the joy of sweet rolls, warm muffins, or a good old-fashioned donut. Whether it’s a simple start or a special brunch with quiche and something creamy and sweet, I believe breakfast should always feel like a treat.
