A homemade American-style continental breakfast beckons everyone to the kitchen and starts the day off on a cheery note.

These easy muffins have flavorful batters and crunchy toppings. They can be frozen and reheated whenever you’re ready to serve them (warm, of course).

Add a fruit smoothie and hot coffee and you have your breakfast. For brunch, you could add scrambled eggs, bacon and a bowl of cut-up fruit.
