Breakfast

Breakfast at our house has to work for two hungry kids and a mom who’d like to finish her coffee while it’s still hot. So these recipes are simple, from scratch, and a lot of them can be made ahead: muffins you can freeze, quick breads that make two loaves, and sourdough bakes worth getting up for.

Start with The Best Zucchini Bread (one for now, one for the freezer),  Berry Crumb Cake, or a batch of Sourdough Poppy Seed Muffins. Want something to spread on toast? The homemade jams take five ingredients and no pectin.

Newer recipes include high-altitude adjustments right in the recipe card, so they work whether you’re at sea level or up here in the mountains.
