“California Roll” Avocado Toast 
Avocado toast makes for a trendy brunch—but why not take it up a notch? Add an Asian-inspired spin with classic sushi toppings. With fresh cucumber, thinly sliced scallions, and kicked-up sriracha, you’re sure to impress your breakfast bunch! 

Zoodles and Meatballs 
Craving pasta but want to cut back on carbs? Swap out the spaghetti and serve these herby meatballs over zucchini noodles for a lighter dish that's just as flavorful--and maybe more so!   

Southwestern Beer Cheese Dip
Have your beer and eat it too in this take on a pub favorite. Sharp shredded cheddar cheese, Mexican beer, and cumin make for a winning combination in this delicious, spiced-up dip.

Chocolate Layer Cake 
Calling all chocolate lovers—this cake is for you! Cocoa powder, buttermilk, and tangy sour cream team up to make a wonderfully moist sweet treat.

Yogurt 
Step up your breakfast game with creamy Greek yogurt. Top your bowl with granola, berries, and cinnamon for a healthy and filling morning meal.
