My weaknesses are mainly savoury - think salt and vinegar crisps/potato chips or cheese and biscuits/crackers - but there are times when only a doughnut will do. This can get desperate late at night when the shops are shut, and even if they weren't, none of them sell the kind of doughnuts I dream of. This is my way of assuaging my appetite, appeasing my need or, perhaps more accurately, feeding my addiction. Hot chocolate on the side is always worth considering, but just - just! - by itself this is sublime succour.

Cornmeal Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup are hearty, slightly grainy pancakes made with cornmeal, paired perfectly with a sweet, fresh blueberry syrup. A flavorful, rustic twist on classic pancakes.

Savory Scramble Tortillas with Guacamole Cream feature fluffy scrambled eggs wrapped in warm tortillas, topped with a smooth, tangy guacamole cream. A flavorful, satisfying breakfast with a fresh twist.

Loaded with fiber from the oats and pumpkin, this warm, spiced oatmeal offers up a hearty, comforting breakfast. Even though we like it made with whole milk for a rich and creamy taste, it is equally delicious made with 1 or 2 percent milk. Make a large batch and thin it out with a little milk or water before reheating for a speedy morning meal.

Rethink sausage gravy and biscuits with this clever one-pan breakfast pie. Biscuits form the crust, and crumbled sausage and cheese are baked into a savory egg custard.

Belgian Waffles with Homemade Cinnamon Sugar Butter and Sautéed Cider Apples combine crisp, fluffy waffles topped with sweet, spiced butter and tender, caramelized apples. A warm, comforting breakfast bursting with cozy fall flavors.

If you love chowder, you will fall in love with Shrimp Bisque. It’s not quite a chowder, and it’s not quite a soup. While it was popular a century ago with elegant ladies at their luncheon parties, it is now coming back in style.
