These rhubarb muffins are so good, I just ate two fresh from the oven. They’re moist, tender, and perfectly puffy, with chunks of juicy rhubarb strewn throughout. I love that they’re not too sweet—the tartness of the rhubarb really shines through, as does the warm flavor of the vanilla extract in the batter. Bonus: they’re a fully acceptable choice for breakfast! I often reach for one as a snack with my afternoon coffee too. This rhubarb muffins recipe is easy to make in right around 30 minutes. If you have rhubarb on hand, you can have them ready in no time. […]

Learn how to make crepes! This easy crepe recipe calls for 8 basic ingredients you likely have in your pantry already. The batter comes together in a blender and cooks in a regular nonstick skillet. These delicate French pancakes might seem intimidating to make at home, but trust me—with this simple recipe, you can absolutely pull them off. I started making crepes with my son Ollie after taking a trip to Paris last fall. For something that feels fancy, they’re a surprisingly fun thing to cook with kids, and they’ve since become one of our favorite weekend breakfasts. Ollie helps […]

If you’re looking for Easter brunch ideas for your menu this weekend, you’re in the right place! Below, I’ve rounded up my best Easter brunch recipes, including crowd-pleasing favorites like breakfast casserole, cinnamon rolls, and the perfect spring salad. You’ll find savory brunch ideas like quiche and breakfast potatoes as well as sweet ones like coffee cake (and carrot cake, which I think we can go ahead and call dessert). At the bottom of this post, I’ve also shared a sample Easter brunch menu. Try the whole thing (it won’t disappoint!) or use it as a starting point for your […]

These Easter appetizers are the perfect way to kick off an Easter brunch or dinner! They include classic appetizer ideas like deviled eggs as well as vibrant dips and light bites made with spring’s best produce. Easy to make (or make ahead), they’ll be a hit with you and your guests. I always make a few of these Easter appetizers when I host my family for the holiday. They start the meal with fresh spring flavors…and they give everyone something to snack on if our breakfast casserole or scalloped potatoes need an extra couple minutes in the oven. No stress—we’ve […]

This classic eggs Florentine recipe is a restaurant-worthy brunch dish that you can make at home! A fresher spin on eggs Benedict, it consists of poached eggs, creamy homemade hollandaise sauce, and silky sautéed spinach on a toasted English muffin (no Canadian bacon here!). I garnish mine with a sprinkle of chives to take it over the top. While I might turn to breakfast casserole or cinnamon rolls when I’m making brunch for a crowd, this eggs Florentine recipe is a show-stopping option for a smaller group. Jack and I love it as a special Sunday morning breakfast, and it’s […]

These morning glory muffins might be my favorite muffins of all time. They’re wonderfully moist, warmly spiced, and packed full of shredded carrots, apples, raisins, and walnuts. In fact, I tested them four times to pack in as many mix-ins as I possibly could! I wanted them to feel like a breakfast twist on carrot cake, my family’s favorite spring dessert. Now with 3 full cups of carrots in the recipe—plus a cup of apple—I can confidently say that they absolutely do. Lately, I’ve been loving these morning glory muffins for breakfast with coffee, but they’re also a great anytime snack. Try […]

This breakfast casserole recipe is hearty and flavorful, filled with eggs, cheese, potatoes, and vegetables. I love to make it when I host family or friends for brunch. It feeds a crowd, it’s easy to make ahead, and it’s always a hit. I adapted this easy breakfast casserole recipe from my mom’s. She’s been making her egg breakfast casserole on Easter and Christmas morning for as long as I can remember. This version incorporates a few extra veggies but otherwise sticks to my mom’s tried-and-true recipe. Here’s why I love it: You can make it ahead. Assemble the night before and […]

I’ve been making this banana muffin recipe on repeat lately! Adapted from my healthy banana bread, it’s made with whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. But even though these muffins are healthy, they’re super moist, fluffy, and full of sweet banana flavor. Kids and adults (well, at least Ollie, Jack, and me) can’t get enough of them. I love these healthy banana muffins for breakfast or as a snack. We’ve been going through them pretty quickly in our house (I’ve made them 3 times this month already!), but if you have more restraint than we do, they’re great […]

This vegan French toast recipe is just as good as the classic kind! It’s fluffy on the inside, crisp around the edges, and has a lightly sweet cinnamon flavor. You might think that it takes fussy ingredients to make French toast without eggs, but this recipe is secretly simple. Made with 9 pantry basics and ready in 20 minutes, it’s an easy, comforting, and delicious breakfast. I first tried vegan French toast years ago (like…25) at the Pick Me Up Café in Chicago. Jack and I went there regularly when we had just started dating long distance and he would […]
