Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce
April 16th is National Eggs Benedict Day. This is a tasty breakfast dish with Hollandaise sauce, ham, eggs, and crunchy English Muffins.

In addition, it may take a little practice to achieve perfectly poached eggs, but the process is pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

National Pancake Day: Cream Cheese Pancakes with Fresh Berries
It’s perfect that National Pancake Day falls on a Saturday. You have some time for you or someone else in your family to whip up a nice batch of fluffy pancakes. I was a big pancake lover as a kid. The family lore was that at the age of two, I was ready to fight my maternal grandmother over the last pancake at the kitchen table. It gets worse… At the International House of Pancakes (IHOP), I also completely obliterated 2 servings of the Silver Dollar platter — at age 2. At the time — it was close to 10 pancakes (smaller than regular but somewhat bigger than a silver…

Potato, Sausage, and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole
I have always liked casseroles. Now that I am the main preparer of food for the house, I have found that I enjoy making casseroles as much as I like to eat them. Mix the ingredients and into the oven it goes! That’s easy! It took me a while to start looking into breakfast casseroles. They typically include all of the things I like — cheese, potatoes, and sausage — and it is possible in many cases to make casseroles ahead of time. Anything to make life a little simpler, right?
