Good Morning!

Happy new year—and new decade! Whether or not you make resolutions, now is the perfect opportunity to take a fresh look at old habits and consider making changes. Why not start in your own kitchen with the very first meal of the day? Fresh, nourishing baked goods; easy pancakes and French toast; and delicious hot beverages get your morning off to an energetic start—and you don't have to wait for the weekend to serve them!

Our secrets? Do some of the prep work in advance, so you don't feel rushed in the morning. Include plenty of nutritious ingredients like fresh fruits and nuts. And don't forget to add just the right amount of sugar!
