On the other hand, when the weekend rolls around, I like to indulge a little bit. A few pancakes, French toast, a cinnamon roll or a slice of this Blueberry Ginger Cheese Danish and I’m immediately in my happy place.
Recently, I’ve enjoyed making a Danish or breakfast braid with pastry dough. They’re pretty easy and have quickly become a morning favorite.

When I asked Kurt and Cameron to taste this Danish for me, they both absolutely loved it! Kurt said it was one of the best breakfast recipes I’ve made to date and Cameron ate three-quarters of it by himself in like 10 minutes flat. That kid is unbelievable! So, you can definitely bet I’ll be making this at least once a month.
A Danish just isn’t a Danish to me without some sweetened cream cheese. And, if you’ve never combined some blueberries with a little bit of crystallized ginger, you’re missing out. Trust me. It’s just such a fun and tasty flavor combination.

Mornings are fast, too fast. Between getting ready for your workday and preparing your kids for school, there isn’t much time to create the flavorful, fulfilling breakfast your family deserves. McCormick Good Morning breakfast is a break through line of products to help you do just that.

Give your breakfast favorites an instant flavor upgrade

– Sprinkle on yogurt, cottage cheese or fruit.

– Stir into hot cereal for a crunchy twist.

– Shake on buttered bagels or toast.

I’m super excited to try the Pineapple Toasted Coconut in my yogurt tomorrow and will be serving it with our next Breakfast Parfait Bar. It will also be a delicious addition to this Pineapple Bread that I love so much. The Cocoa Banana will be delicious in some overnight oatmeal or even as a topping for my Chocolate Banana Muffins. And you can bet that the Southwest Chipotle is going to be sprinkled on these Loaded Huevos Rancheros!

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and always has been. Breakfast, brunch, breakfast for dinner, I’m ALL over it! I’ve never thought about having quesadillas for breakfast, but this Southwestern Breakfast Quesadilla Recipe with Eggs, Black Beans & Salsa is something I’ll definitely have to try! I love a great jam and the thought of this Blueberry Ginger Jam on some scones or an English muffin is making me drool. A Pineapple Coconut Sweet Roll with a cup of coffee sounds like a great idea right about now, too.
