There is a specific kind of peace that comes from opening the refrigerator on a chaotic Tuesday morning and seeing a glass dish of breakfast already made. No scrambling eggs while packing lunches, no debating between a protein bar or skipping the meal entirely—just a slice of something warm, nourishing, and ready to go. That…

There is a distinct comfort in waking up on a Tuesday morning—usually the most chaotic day of my week—knowing that breakfast is already done. I’m not talking about a cold protein bar or a hard-boiled egg that’s seen better days. I’m talking about a warm, savory square of comfort that smells faintly of sage and…
