Well worth it if breakfast's your favorite meal of the day... 5 out of 5 stars.

All too often, I find myself throwing almond milk on my cereal or microwaving a bowl of oatmeal and running out the door, but on weekends, I enjoy baking quick breads, muffins, scones, and pancakes. I picked up Country Living: The Breakfast Cookbook as a bargain book, but it would have been worth the full price for its collections of muffins (cranberry and almond, coffee praline, rich lemon, spring rhubarb), scones (ginger, quick currant), pancakes (cinnamon pumpkin, raspberry sourdough), and pastries. I use baking as a way to relax, and generally end up giving away my baked goods to family and friends. All of the recipes that I've tried from The Breakfast Cookbook received rave reviews from coworkers and family.
Appropriately enough, for a publication associated with Country Living, there are Southern staples such as buttermilk biscuits, ham and grits loaf, creamy eggs and grits, German pancake, and country ham with redeye gravy. There are also international influences such as a Finnish coffee braid, scrapple, oliebollen, and Irish soda bread. Some healthier updates are also included (zucchini whole wheat muffins, whole wheat raisin loaves, bran muffins).
To round out your breakfast menu, beverage recipes (alcoholic and non) are included, as are jams and preserves and homemade cream cheese.
Editorial Review:
It’s simply the best of classic American cooking—the dishes that make the morning meal a celebration. Country Living presents the magazine’s most popular recipes for such traditional tasty treats as buns, pastries, coffeecakes, biscuits, muffins, pancakes, waffles, omelets, soufflés, jams, preserves, and fresh sausages. Lots of color photographs and fascinating food lore enhance the tempting instructions. Whip up amazing quick currant scones, banana nut bread, blueberry griddle cakes, baked ham strata, cheddar cheese grits, a puffy omelet, and honey almond butter. Each recipe will entice you to fry up a fritter or doughnut, bake a fresh warm asparagus tart, or mix up some homemade muesli. And to top off the meal, scrumptious beverages include café au lait Louisiana style, tranquility spiced tea, hot chocolate, and mimosas, bellinis, and mint juleps.
