Taco Salad

This Mexican American classic has roots at Disneyland. Charles Elmer Doolin, a cofounder of the Frito Company, created an edible cup out of Fritos and served it at his Disneyland restaurant, Casa de Fritos, in 1955. It was the size of a teacup, filled with ground beef, beans and sour cream, and called the Ta-Cup (a portmanteau of taco and cup). The creation was a hit, with recipes for taco salad made with various corn chips proliferating in the ’60s, becoming a staple in school cafeterias, and eventually growing into the jumbo version added to the Taco Bell menu in 1984. (The menu item was retired in 2020.) You can use any corn chip for this recipe, and there’s no need for it to be in cup form, but opt for Fritos, if you want that authentic taste.

Oatmeal-Glazed Breakfast Cake

This hearty cake is packed with oats, flavored with cinnamon and topped with a warm glaze made with more oats, shredded coconut and nuts. We used pecans, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. It's a great way to clean out the pantry and simple enough for kids to help with. Bake one on a Sunday and enjoy it all week long for breakfast or as a snack! It's delicious at room temperature or lightly warmed in the microwave.

Traditional Irish Soda Bread

While soda bread with add-ins like currants and caraway can be delicious, it's not at all authentic. In Ireland, soda bread tends to be plainer and more restrained. Here is a classic Irish soda bread recipe adapted from Darina Allen, an Irish television personality and the owner of the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Shanagarry. This soda bread is best eaten still steaming from the oven, slathered with good salted Irish butter that melts on contact with your slice. It’s a fine accompaniment to corned beef and cabbage, should you be making that dish this St. Paddy’s Day. Or make this recipe all year long. That’s how they do it in Ireland.

Hong Kong Egg Tarts

Chinese egg tarts come in a few varieties: these tarts hail from Hong Kong and consist of a puff pastry crust with a slightly less sweet and rich filling than other versions. They are enjoyed throughout the year for breakfast or as an after-school or mid-afternoon snack. In Hong Kong, there are specific bakeries that specialize in egg tarts; when a fresh batch is hot out the oven, the beautiful sweet aroma travels down the block to attract customers.

Baghrir (Semolina Pancakes With Date Syrup and Yogurt)

Thicker and spongier than a crepe and thinner and lighter than a pancake, baghrir is a staple across countries in North Africa, and particularly comforting when enjoyed for breakfast during Eid. Baghrir is made with fine semolina, flour, yeast, salt and sugar, blended with warm water to make a batter and allowed to ferment and gather airiness and tang. When the creamy batter is poured into a hot pan, tiny craters open up one by one across its surface — the process is almost mesmerizing. It makes sense that baghrir is never flipped; the holes serve as receptacles for any sticky, sweet richness the moment calls for. Typically drizzled with a mix of melted butter and honey, this version calls for date syrup (homemade or store-bought) and salted yogurt which add a delicious complexity and balance. The toppings may vary but the spirit remains the same: a bubbled, honeycombed delight meant to hold sweetness.
