10 gorgeous breakfasts that take just 15 minutes to cook

Our usual morning rush means that we can only dream about having the time to make and eat a delicious and nicely served breakfast — it simply takes too much time to cook. No doubt all of us prefer an extra hour of sleep to breakfast.

1 tablespoon of sugar

3. Melt the butter and stir it into the batter.

4. Scoop the batter onto a frying pan and cook each side for two to three minutes. If the pancakes don’t stick to the pan, you don’t need to use oil.

3. Chop the garlic and mix it with the lemon juice and olive oil.

4. Fry the onion with the butter until it gets soft. Add the broccoli and fry for one minute more. Add the bell pepper and beans and fry everything together for a minute. Then add the garlic and, 30 seconds later, the eggs.

5. When the eggs harden a bit, put the frittata in the preheated oven. Bake for seven to ten minutes at 180°C. Before serving, salt and pepper the dish and garnish with chopped greens.

Salt

The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread : " 'The Trader Joe's cornbread was some of the best cornbread I've tasted, from a mix or otherwise.' Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch? Welcome to Mixed Review , where the whole point is putting boxed mixes to the test! —The Mgmt. Two years ago, I did a roundup of standard supermarket cornbread mixes for this column and was generally unimpressed with all of them. They were gummy, thin, and cloyingly sweet. I called Jiffy, my top choice, 'solid, if not sensational' and recommended doctoring it up with add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes, poppy seeds, and pecans. This year, I thought it was time to revisit the cornbread basket by comparing two readily available specialty mixes: Crate & Barrel's Buttermilk Cornbread Mix ($8.95) and Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix ($2.69).
