Looking for a quick but special breakfast over the holidays? If you have a waffle iron, waffles are very easy to make. Dress them with fresh fruit and you’ll have a dazzling presentation. I like recipes that use buttermilk–the batter will be light and fluffy, as will the final product.

Or how about scrambled eggs with chorizo and cheddar cheese wrapped up in a tortilla and topped with salsa or green chile sauce? Or light and fluffy pancakes bursting with fresh or frozen berries?

Check out The Joy of Baking website. It has wonderful breakfast recipes, including rich and buttery coffeecakes, muffins and breads. You can also find pies and cakes. Take your pick, it’s hard to go wrong.
