Weekend Brunch, REWRITTEN


Hi Reader,

I think brunch should feel like a treat.

Not like you accidentally signed up for restaurant service in your own kitchen.

Let’s keep it simple!

A few easy things you can prep ahead, a few you can throw together while still in pajamas, and you’ve got yourself a very happy table.

Garth Brooks’ Favorite Breakfast Lasagna

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.81 from 26 votes
A lot of my new recipes come from conversations I have with my husband. He usually dreams up some idea and asks if I can figure out how to make it, and I’m always up for the challenge. We both love a late breakfast, and this lasagna ticks all the yummy boxes (and it's good for supper, too!).

Morning Buns

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.73 from 22 votes
These buns are (of course) inspired by the famous morning buns created at Tartine. On my only visit to San Francisco, I was able to try one of these perfect buns—orange and cinnamon and sugar and butter all wrapped up in a flaky dough. The orange and cinnamon scents that waft from the oven as they bake will fill your whole home with cheer.
