Breakfast
& Brunch Recipes
 Breakfast
is the act of eating in the
morning to break the fasting period of about eight hours of
sleep. A breakfast should provide enough energy to realize the daily
activity until noon or lunch but it should also be light enough as to be
easy to digest.

Brunch
is a late morning meal between
the typical time for breakfast and lunch. It serves as a replacement for
breakfast, usually eaten when one rises too late to eat breakfast.
Brunch
is typically served beginning in the 10:00 a.m. hour, and continuing
through early afternoon. The term is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch.
While common in the United States, unlike "tiffin", the term
originated in 1896 as British student slang (as cited in Punch magazine).
Brunch can be served after a morning event or prior to an afternoon one,
such as a wedding or sporting event. It is usually a more relaxed meal
than breakfast or lunch, and considered appropriate for informal
celebrations.
