It has been a summer tradition since I was a child to make these muffins with freshly-picked blackberries. Now I continue the tradition with my boys after we pick the berries on “blackberry hill.”

Berry butter takes me back to my childhood, spending summers at the lake. We would have berry butter made with freshly-picked raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. It is colorful, rich, creamy and makes a festive spread for breakfasts and snacks.

When I lived in France I usually got these with a simple topping of powdered sugar and fresh berry jam. But when I was in the mood for a decadent treat, I ordered them with Nutella.

Scones are a quick bread of Scottish origin that always make me think of the British tea time. There are variations around the world and you can find scones of many different flavors but in my opinion, you can’t go wrong with a plain buttery scone with berry jam.

In my family, we always have these cinnamon rolls at least twice a year – on Christmas morning and on Santa Lucia Day. I love to warm the iced cinnamon rolls in the oven right before serving them so that the icing melts into the rolls, making a gooey cinnamon treat!

These light buttery rolls remind me of brioche. The orange flavor is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. In my family, we have these on Christmas morning and for our Santa Lucia breakfast…but I wish I could eat them every morning!

This rich and cheesy egg dish casserole is one of my family’s favorites. It is almost always a part of our breakfasts and brunches for special occasions (such as Christmas) but it is easy to make for any morning of the year.

The sourdough starter makes these pancakes light and airy and gives them a subtle sourdough flavor. If you don’t have a starter in your family, you can make your own or even purchase one.
