When was the last time you made a family weekend breakfast? We’re not talking a smoothie or power bar on the run, but an actual meal that had everyone in your household sitting around the table eating food you (all?) prepared with love, and actually having a conversation with devices put away.

Yep, we’re all busy. Maybe you’ve got work to do or a kid’s soccer practice or games to attend or four loads of laundry facing you. But how about carving out some regular weekend breakfast time for you, your family or your friends so you can reconnect? Even relax?

If cooking and relaxing seem like an oxymoron, I have recipes in my new story for The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Food section for three irresistible dishes — Green Shakshuka, a Kitchen Herb Frittata, and Torrijas French Toast — from chef Wesley Johnson of Urban Kitchen Group, that you can prep in advance and just heat and put together in the morning.
