If you’ve landed on this post, it’s probably because you purchased my ebook, “The Hospitality Handbook” (and if not, go grab a copy and transform the way you view hospitality — for the same price as just a coffee!).
NOTE: You’ll notice that there are almost no exact measurements — that’s for you to adjust for each recipe to become exactly what it needs to be to become a family favorite.
All recipes reflect basic pantry staples, so they should be ingredients you already have on hand when spontaneous company stops by.
Serve any breakfast meal with drink options — coffee, tea, milk, or juice. If you don’t typically drink juice, keep a can of frozen juice concentrate in your freezer for an occasion just like this!
