HINGHAM, Mass. - BostonChron -- What is better on a weekend morning in spring than to make brunch? You can open the windows wide and let the warm breeze of daybreak invigorate your home. Finches, cardinals, and wrens sing their sweet songs as the sun turns the sky orange, then pink, then clear blue. It's the perfect accompaniment to onions sizzling in the fry pan or the spicy aroma of a cinnamon roll casserole!

One of the great things about brunch is the many different flavors and styles you can bring in. Sweet, savory, spicy, light, filling… it's all there. You can lean toward more traditional breakfast items or you can go all out and try new creations and combinations. It's the perfect place to stretch your culinary skills and add some new things to your menu.
