Early-morning treats! Nothing says "Good morning!" like waking up to a hot, fresh breakfast.

I'll never forget waking up at my grandmother's house. At 5:30 AM, the house started stirring. A curious little boy crept from his room to find his grandmother Totsy whipping up a feast of pancakes. All the cousins--all still children--were gathered around the table, and soon it turned into a contest. Who could eat the most pancakes? In the end, the oldest cousin won with a total of 15 pancakes. It's amazing that any of us could get up from the table.

This section of the cookbook is dedicated to just that: whipping up some early-morning memories for the people you love. Is it your grandchildren? Your children? Or your grandparents? Whoever you're sharing your coffee with, make it a day to remember.
