Simple Tabletop Details

It wouldn’t be a holiday-inspired menu without a celebrated table setting (even if it’s just for a party of two). Start with a crisp linen tablecloth, playing around with accent pieces and ceramics for an added pop. Head outside and see what types of holiday greenery you can find that will complement the festive feeling you’re keen on capturing. Bundle up your bounty for multi-use place settings and tabletop décor. If you’re able to make it to the farmer’s market or store, pick up some pomegranates, oranges, cloves, or persimmons for an irresistible centerpiece.

The Pantry-Perfect Main

We love a veggie-filled frittata for plenty of reasons, but this dish’s inherent versatility in ingredients is what makes it a favorite through any season. Easy to make for beginners and experts alike, this recipe is perfect for those who are in a pinch or want to whip up a delicious dish without much notice. All that’s required are eggs and whatever veggies you may have on hand.

Your Standout Side Dish

Every breakfast (or breakfast-for-dinner) lineup needs the requisite potato or hash brown recipe—this Sweet Potato Hash delivers just what you need. Filled with seasonal herbs and veggies, we love this celebrated side dish for its understated take on tradition. Here’s an insider sneak peek: the apple cider vinegar gives it an additional kick of flavor that you’ll instantly fall in love with.

Technically speaking, this Baked French Toast is a dessert, side dish, and main all wrapped up into one. Warm, delicious, and just the right amount of sweet, this recipe makes for an indulgent brunch dish or the ultimate end to a breakfast-for-dinner evening. Do yourself a favor and double the recipe so you have leftovers to enjoy the next day.
