When we’re looking for something extra special for breakfast, this babka French toast more than fits the bill. It may sound intimidating, but the best part is that you’re not making it from scratch. You can purchase one right from the store, a loaf that’s already enriched with chocolate, cinnamon, and sugar syrup. It gets soaked in a simple egg and milk mixture, pan seared in butter, and coated in a raspberry butter. It’s a luxury in little time.

Skip waking up to go through the drive-thru tomorrow morning—make our breakfast Crunchwrap supreme instead. This copycat recipe has everything you love about the classic: hash browns, eggs, bacon, cheese, and the iconic creamy jalapeño sauce, all layered between tortillas. It’s even better (!!) than the original, but is perfectly ripe for variations and substitutions.

To make the blueberry’s gentle sweet-tart flavor pop in this blended smoothie, we eschewed traditional banana in lieu of nut butter and greens. That, and a pinch of salt, make this a smoothie to remember.

If you’re hosting this holiday season and need a surprising treat, we can guarantee these will feel a little more special. Take a buttery popover, then add orange zest, a cinnamon sugar coating, and cranberry preserves to bring forth the perfect holiday-style donut.

Nothing kicks off brunch quite like a mimosa, especially on New Year’s. If you prefer your cocktails on the sweeter side, bump up the orange juice to 3 ounces per glass, or go for a sweeter bottle of bubbly. You can also swap the OJ for another type of juice, like cranberry or lemonade.
