Rise and Shine
A clever man first pushed the words "breakfast" and "lunch" together to create the
word "brunch" way back in 1895. Brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch foods
and is generally served on the weekends between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Brunch originated
in England and became popular in the United States in the 1930s.

Speedy Sheet Pan Dinner
Sheet pan dinners have gained in popularity over the past few years and are considered
the biggest dinner trend of the year. Sheet pan cooking uses a roasting method (cooking
with heat from above and below) and is an easy way to make a delicious meal out of
almost anything. Season and assemble ingredients on a single sheet pan and pop it
in the oven for a fantastic meal. Your protein and vegetables can be cooked on the
same pan, promoting easy cleanup.
