Breakfast and Brackets: A Selection Sunday tradition

Every year in celebration of the impending start of the NCAA tournament, we hold our ‘Breakfast and Brackets’ event.

It’s really just an excuse to cook breakfast while we work. Take a look ….

This is normally just a coffee/microwave area. We turned it into our little cook station, including a griddle and waffle maker.

A well-stocked cooler voided the need to run to the kitchen. We had OJ, butter, cream cheese, sausage, scrapple and bacon.
