My favorite breakfast dish is a plate of fried potatoes, onions, spinach, and zucchini, which comes with a slice of havarti cheese on top of it. What magical forces have these potatoes been subjected to?! They are wonderful. They also feature delicious soups made from scratch, pizzas, homemade preserves... oh, it's all delicious.
