For a special breakfast or brunch, try an out-of-the-ordinary coffee flavor or blend, or just add a little cinnamon to your fresh grounds before brewing.

A make-ahead egg bake that is easily assembled the night before, then popped into the oven the next day, is a great time-saver.

Dress up your table! A small bouquet of fresh flowers adds beauty without blocking your guests from seeing each other. Use a satin ribbon that coordinates with your bouquet to tie around silverware rolled in cloth napkins.
