Holiday Breakfast for a Crowd: Savoury
The kids (and maybe their kids) are coming home for the holidays. It's sure to be a nonstop whirlwind of activity.

Avocado Toast has been the rage for a number of years, and as a Californian, I am all over anything avocado (I could eat guacamole by the cupful).

I’ve adapted it from a WW recipe (I’m a proud WW Lifetime Member At…... view full recipe
I’ve always loved to bake, and when Chris and I first opened A Butler’s Manor, we knew we wanted to have cookies in each guest room on arrival. The first year or so I made many different cookies, changing it up for seasons and holidays. But although all were appreciated, the one that always got the biggest raves was my Chocolate Chip/Oatmeal/M&M cookie. Why mess with a good thing? These have been our signature cookies…... view full recipe
