For many, breakfast is the best meal of the day, and on the weekends when time slows down, there's nothing better than an indulgent brunch. Breakfast & Brunch is packed with fresh, tasty ideas for all sorts of treats--whether you're grabbing a quick bite or entertaining friends with a weekend brunch feast. Drinks such as Mango and Cashew Nut Smoothie will prepare you for the day ahead. For slow-release energy, try Fruit, Grains, & Oats like Pink Grapefruit Broiled with Vanilla Sugars or Coconut and Sour Cherry Oaty Bars. Nothing says brunch quite like Eggs. Omelet with Chives and Gruyere is perfect for eating in bed on a day off. For those with a sweet tooth, Pastries & Bakes are sure to satisfy. Exploding Berry Crumble Muffins are ideal for mid-morning guests, while Pancakes & Waffles like popular Blueberry Pancakes will please both adults and kids. Those with big appetites will welcome Entrees, such as Corn Cakes with Avocado and Bacon, or a Steak, Fried Egg, and Mustard Butter Baguette from the Sandwiches, Salads, & Sides chapter. Finally, use up seasonal fruit by making homemade Passionfruit Curd will turn your morning toast into something divine.
