Oh Sunday brunch with friends, how we've missed you! We're back in the brunch game this summer and are excited to return to some of our favorite sweet and savory brunch recipes on B + C. Whether you're looking to serve up a romantic brunch in bed for your S.O, a low-carb protein brunch for you and a pal, or a festive spread, complete with mimosa bar, for many, we've got easy and fun-to-whip-up recipes for you to try this weekend, and next, and the one after that. Enjoy!

Bite-Size Eggs Benedict

Bite-Size Eggs Benedict

Little nibbles, mini mouthfuls, or amuse bouche — call them what you like; bite-sized foods taste twice as nice when shrunk down to adorable proportions. These bite-sized Eggs Benedict look super cute and taste sensational, and they never fail to wow a crowd.

Low-Carb Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

Not only are these deviled eggs topped with smoked salmon, but the filling is also packed with smoked salmon (plus some delish extras like lemon zest and Dijon mustard). They're a low-carb treat that's perfect for picnics, parties, and brunch gatherings.

Vegan Lemon Scones

Lemon scones are the perfect breakfast pastry because they're refreshing, flavorful, and so delicious. Even better: these are vegan! They can easily be gluten-free too, if you swap out the flour for a GF blend. AND they're lightly sweetened compared to other breakfast pastries. So grab your favorite mimosa recipe, and add these delicious scones to your brunch menu, stat.

Cream Cheese Toast With Assorted Fruit Topping

For an easy brunch spread, try these colorful, fruity toasts topped cream cheese and your favorite fruits and herbs. Simple, yet delicious. Pair with our Magical Golden Flower Juice and cookie cutter fruit for a Disney-inspired brunch party.

Mini Lemon Loafs With Sugared Flowers

Three words: candied. edible. flowers. If you're looking for an easy way to impress your guests this summer, try your hand at baking these simple lemon loaves with sugared flowers. Both beautiful and scrumptious, these treats will make everyone think you've opened your own own patisserie!

Breakfast Potstickers

Here's a breakfast revamp to our favorite appetizer: pot stickers! Learn how to make these sweet and savory morning treats for really any time of day.

Mimosa Bar Brunch

In our humble opinions, brunches are better in pajamas. So why not throw a brunch party with strict PJ attire? Here's a mimosa-filled brunch party, chock full of easy DIYs and easy breakfast treats. Stock a mimosa bar with your favorite juices, garnishes a-plenty and tons of bubbly.

Lemon-Elderflower Waffles

Inspired by *the* royal wedding cake, we took the liberty of decorating these waffles in the exact style of Violet Cakes' pastry chef Claire Ptak. She's famous for dusting her Victoria sponge cakes with plenty of powdered sugar and abundantly garnishing the top with stemmed strawberries split in half and edible flowers. The results will dazzle even though the technique is so simple.

Vegetarian Egg Cups

Of all the egg recipes shared on Pinterest, these mini egg frittatas cooked in a muffin mold happened to be the most popular back in the day. Just a Taste blogger Kelly Senyei developed the viral recipe for healthy breakfast egg muffins. We had to know what attracted thousands of people to share this recipe by asking the blogger herself and recreating the dish in our own test kitchen.

Sheet Pan Eggs

True story: We are ALL about make-ahead meals here at B+C. If you're cooking for a crowd, they're an easy way to keep your get-togethers fun and stress-free. Our newest favorite? Sheet pan eggs! Make 'em for your next brunch party or busy work week.

Cinnamon French Toast Fingers

Back to the joy of bite-size treats, these cinnamon French toasts are perfect for kids or a crowd.

Gluten-Free Zucchini Cakes With Avocado And Egg

We're really on a zucchini kick this summer, and our 4-ingredient Zucchini Pancakes with Avocado and Egg satisfies all our brunchy desires.

Parchment Eggs

Cooking en papillote creates enclosed steam that locks in flavor, moisture and packs the extra punch! This French method of cooking in parchment packets is extremely versatile but is traditionally used to prepare fish, chicken and vegetables. For this recipe, we used the technique to make eggs full of robust flavor with close to no effort.

Strawberry Chia Quinoa Bowl

These strawberry chia quinoa bowls are going to be your new BFF during the summer. They're filled with so many wholesome ingredients and taste so yummy that you might actually forget about your favorite sugary snacks (okay, we said maybe).

Pressure-Cooker Ramekin Eggs

Are you ready to go beyond pressure-cooked hard-boiled eggs? The next breakfast to try in your Instant Pot or multicooker is eggs en cocotte, French for "in pot" or ramekins more specifically. Traditionally, raw eggs are cracked into a buttered ramekin along with a splash of cream and, optionally, your choice of cheese, veggies, and herbs. A multicooker makes this process less than five minutes, easy-peasy!

Bacon and Egg Risotto

Here, we elevate our eggs to the prominent position of risotto topper. Usually considered quite a sophisticated meal, this risotto has been dirtied down with fried bacon and eggs and - trust us - you will love every single bite.

Skillet Apple Almond Crisp

Craving something sweet for brunch or just planning on a breakfast dessert (no judgement)? Introducing our Skillet Apple Almond Crisp! Read on for all the deets.

Sweet Potato Egg Boat

Roast up a twice-baked sweet potato egg boat that comes fully loaded with bacon and avocado, so you can be fueled for hours. To cut the roasting time drastically, prick the potato, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for roughly 4-8 minutes, until tender. Yum!

Cloud Egg Croque Madame

This cloud-egg croque madame is a mash-up of a classic French croque madame (basically a toasted cheese and ham sandwich, which is usually topped with a simple fried egg) and the fluffy cloud egg. Such a welcome addition to the crispy, cheesy sandwich underneath!

Raspberry Crumble Muffins

Some of you may have nostalgic feelings for raspberries after childhood summers picking just enough berries for your mom to make a pie. If that sounds like you, here's a raspberry muffin recipe with an amazing taste that will take you back.

3 Discontinued Costco Food Items Everyone Misses (& Would Petition To Have Back)

Costco is the only place where you can buy everything from groceries and gym equipment to engagement rings and emergency meal kits, all during the same shopping trip.

The membership-only warehouse club is wildly popular among Americans for its shockingly wide array of merchandise, bulk deals, and low prices. However, if you're a Costco fanatic, you might be shocked to learn about three different food items you won't be able to find in stores this year.

Scroll to find out which Costco food items were discontinued for 2025!

www.reddit.com

First up on the list is the Costco churro. This fried dough pastry was initially introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic before it was taken off the food court menu. Churros were then added back in 2021 with a new recipe, but in 2024, it was removed for good.

The large chocolate chip cookie, a classic dessert that sells for $2.49, supposedly took its spot, and it's unclear whether churros will make another food court appearance in the future.

www.reddit.com

Next, the controversial roast beef sandwich also got axed — and plenty of shoppers actually seem to be happy about it. The sandwich retailed for a hefty $9.99, which is significantly more expensive than just buying Costco's hot dog and soda combo meal for only $1.50.

Some who tried the roast beef sandwich complained about its quality as well, calling it bland and dry online. So, this menu item was short-lived.

www.reddit.com

After being launched in food courts in February 2023, it's nowhere to be found and has been replaced by a turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich. The latest sandwich can be purchased for a more affordable $6.99 and comes with mayo mustard and sun-dried tomato spread on ciabatta bread.

Costco

Finally, the third Costco food item you'll no longer be able to find this year may be the most upsetting: Kirkland Signature chocolate chips. The chips previously came in two varieties, including Signature Semi-Sweet Chocolate and Signature Semi-Sweet 51% Chocolate.

According to the store, the rising price cost of cocoa made it unsustainable to offer the chips at a reasonable price. This pushed Costco to begin phasing out its own brand in August 2024 and switch to the Nestlé brand, which also faced price increases, but not to the same extent.

Costco

Countless Costco shoppers have been disgruntled by the change, with one user online saying that Kirkland Signature chocolate chips were "the best on the market" — and other users finding ways to petition for them to come back! They're reportedly less sweet than the morsels sold by Nestlé, and plenty of bakers apparently prefer that.

If you can relate, there is some potential good news. Costco suggested that the Kirkland chips might make a return if cocoa prices drop. Nonetheless, the outlook remains uncertain due to ongoing issues like cocoa shortages, climate change, and the financial difficulties cocoa farmers are facing right now.

12 Low-Shedding Dog Breeds for a Cleaner Home (and Less Vacuuming)

Do you love dogs yet dread the constant cleaning that comes with shedding? Countless people can relate.

But while every dog owner knows a little fur is inevitable, certain breeds are known for being lower-shedding.

Whether you suffer from allergies or just want to reduce the time you spend cleaning up hair around your living space, here are 12 low-shedding dog breeds that'll make great additions to your household (without the mess).

Scroll to find out the best low-shedding dog breeds!

1. Poodles

Goochie Poochie Grooming

Poodles are known for their hypoallergenic coats, so they shed very little and are ideal for anyone seeking a low-shedding pet.

This breed also comes in three sizes, the Standard, Miniature, and Toy, and is easy to train due to its high intelligence. Just keep in mind that, regardless of their size, all Poodles require regular grooming to keep their curly coats free from mats and tangles.

2. Bichon Frise

RDNE Stock project

Just like the Poodle, the Bichon Frise is another breed that features a hypoallergenic coat. These dogs are tiny, cheerful, and popular due to their friendly nature.

Plus, they're known for being very smart and trainable, making them great family pets that keep clean up around the house to a minimum.

3. Labradoodle

ten Brinke photography

Originally bred as a hypoallergenic service dog, the Labradoodle is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle.

These dogs inherited low-shedding coats, thanks to Poodle parents, and are favored for their friendly and affectionate nature. They thrive when given plenty of exercise and early socialization.

4. Maltese

Katya Wolf

Malteses are adorably tiny and cuddly hypoallergenic dogs prized for their silky white coats. They make playful and loving companions, but owners have to stay on top of their grooming routine.

If you prefer that your Maltese has a longer coat, regular maintenance is important to prevent any mats. Otherwise, keeping a shorter "puppy" cut can make grooming much easier.

5. Yorkshire Terrier

JÉSHOOTS

Affectionately referred to as "Yorkies," Yorkshire Terriers are little hypoallergenic dogs with big personalities. They crave attention and are very loyal to their owners.

These pups also shed minimally and can adapt well to a range of households, from cozy apartments to spacious homes.

6. Schnauzers

Sebastian Coman Travel

You may not know that there are three Schnauzer breeds, including the Miniature Schnauzer, the Standard Schnauzer, and the Giant Schnauzer. Despite their size differences, all three are low-shedding.

Miniature Schnauzers are revered for their intelligence and typically weigh between 10 and 20 pounds. Standard Schnauzers, on the other hand, are also known for their smarts and enjoy long walks and mental stimulation. They just can weigh as much as 45 pounds.

Giant Schnauzers can reach up to 85 pounds and are some of the largest hypoallergenic dogs. To keep these pups happy, give them a lot of playtime and exercise.

7. Havanese

Paul Groom Photography Bristol

The Havanese is a little, playful breed that's popular for its charming personality and silky coat that doesn't shed much.

These furry friends adore human interaction, making them devoted companions, and are considered low-shedding. All they need is some regular grooming to keep their coat smooth and tangle-free.

8. Italian Greyhound

Alina Skazka

Italian Greyhounds are sleek and elegant, featuring short, smooth coats that barely shed. Contrary to what their graceful appearance might suggest, these dogs are also very playful, affectionate, and sensitive.

If you're searching for a sophisticated yet loving dog that doesn't require a lot of cleanup, this breed may be your perfect match.

9. Portuguese Water Dog

Julissa Helmuth

Portuguese Water Dogs were first bred to work alongside fishermen. Today, they're regaled for their energy and athleticism, making them a great option for active families.

These dogs also have hypoallergenic fur and don't shed much. If you're an outdoor enthusiast who wants to maintain a fur-free home, the Portuguese Water Dog might be the pet for you.

10. Basenji

Elina Volkova

This unique, cat-like breed is famous for its barkless nature. It actually makes a distinctive "yodel" sound!

Basenjis are very intelligent, playful, and sometimes mischievous, with a high prey drive. Additionally, they don't shed a lot, have minimal grooming requirements, and are often free from usual canine odors.

11. Shih Tzu

Edyttka Stawiarska

The Shih Tzu was initially bred as a companion pet in China and has remained a famous lap dog to this day. They love human company and usually stick to their owners' sides.

But while they're low-shedding, these dogs will still grow a long, luxurious coat that requires regular grooming. Otherwise, you can keep it trimmed shorter for easier maintenance.

12. Brussels Griffon

Mladen Šćekić

Lastly, the Brussels Griffon is a small breed with a rough coat that's non-shedding and simple to groom. That's why these dogs are stellar choices for anyone seeking a low-maintenance pet.

In terms of temperament, Brussels Griffons are smart, affectionate, sensitive, and quite cuddly.

Here's Your Official (Steamy) First Look At Benedict & Sophie In 'Bridgerton' Season 4!

As much as we'd love to hear that BridgertonSeason 4 is releasing earlier than next year, we'll have to settle for as many teasers and first looks as we can get for now! Fans already know Yerin Ha will be stepping into Sophie Baek's shoes alongside Luke Thompson as Benedict, but Netflix finally released something that'll keep us satiated for a while. We can't promise much else — except these two are clearly going to make our hearts race when they're finally on-screen.

Here's the official Bridgerton Season 4 first look with Sophie & Benedict!

Liam Daniel/Netflix

Benedict's always been one of the lighthearted Bridgerton siblings, but Season 3 showed up just how, uh, free he can be. While he and Eloise did discuss their mutual feelings of wanting to explore life, it seems our loving bachelor is set on finding love in unexpected places.

Liam Daniel/Netflix

Benedict may not have fallen in love with Tilley, but it appears he's head over heels for Sophie and we think it's adorable. But, there's one glaring problem: Sophie's a maid who has plenty of secrets.

Never before have any of the Bridgerton children gotten romantically involved with someone who's in another social class, so this already sounds scandalous.

Liam Daniel/Netflix

Ah, but what will the watchful Queen Charlotte think? Remember, she was certain she was going to expose and punish Lady Whistledown before Penelope's moving speech got her to change her mind. We can only guess how she'll feel about the Bridgertons once she learns of Benedict and Sophie's forbidden romance.

In the meantime, we're already dreaming up as much as we can about this exciting season with these pictures! Oh, and did we mention there's a video too?!

Watch The 'Bridgerton' Season 4 Sneak Peak Here!

Seriously...season 4 can't come fast enough!!!

We can't wait to see how Benedict and Sophie's love shakes up the Ton in Season 4. We're sure Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury will have much to discuss!

15 Best Dystopian Books To Read Instead of "Doomscrolling" Right Now

Lately, we don't have to look far for doomsday news or potential policies that make us feel like a dystopian future will soon be our reality. Although we like to joke about it, we've seen pop culture seemingly predict our current societal and political landscape via everything from episodes of the The Simpsons to the books we've read over the years, wondering how these fictitious communities could experience horrible environments at the hands of others' decisions.

Since art is often bred from very real feelings about history's patterns, we think it's time to open a few relatable books. In our eyes, unprecedented times call for reading thought-provoking work that may seem bleak, but offers hope set in motion by one person's courage in the face of oppression and fear. These are the best dystopian books you should read in 2025.

Here are 15 dystopian books to read if you're tired of doom scrolling on social media.

Amazon

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Guy Montag's job as a fireman isn't like what you or I are used to. Instead of saving the lives of those affected by fires, he and his co-workers set them because it's a crime to have books in one's home. He does his job well and comes home to the passionless marriage he has with his wife Mildred, running on a mindless loop. It isn't until he meets a teenager named Clarisse that he begins seeing the world through her eyes and it makes him uncomfortable.

Underneath that discomfort is the knowledge that he's been keeping a secret all along and will have to decide which side of history he wants to be on.

Amazon

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

Even if you've never read the book or watched the hit TV series, chances are you've heard about The Handmaid's Tale. It's ruffled feathers to the point it's made it to the banned books list, but author Margaret Atwood's message is loud and clear: women's reproductive rights could become weaponized.
She begins her tale in the aftermath of a second Civil War that's dismantled "normal" America. As such, the Republic of Gilead has been set in place that's meant to remind men and women how things used to be. With men holding positions of power and fertile women being enslaved to help regrow the population comes a sordid tale of oppression and abuse.
However, one maid's memories and desire to break free from her horrible role encourages her to stage one of the biggest coups.

Amazon

The Power by Naomi Alderman

The Power places decisions in the hands of young girls who aren't typically afforded it. Readers will meet several characters like a wealthy Nigerian boy and a tough-as-nails girl, but what's shocking is what happens when something ignites teenaged girls with something powerful. If they choose, these girls can cause great harm to others or even end their lives.
It's a far cry from the idea that young girls are weak and powerless in a world that seeks to tame them.

Amazon

Chain-Gain All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

Loretta Thurwar and Hamara "Hurricane Staxxx" are a part of Criminal Actional Penal Entertainment, aka CAPE, as prisoners. They've worked their way up the hierarchy of the Chain-Gain All-Stars and are the reigning champs as they fight until the death to earn freedom.

However, there's a catch: one of them will be heavily discouraged from leaving with every hardship they face. It seems greed has no bounds and will make sure to keep viewers invested.

Amazon

American War by Omar El Akkad

Sarat Chestnut was a little girl when the another Civil War occurred in the year 2074, but she was aware enough to understand the criminalization of oil. Also, she's watched half of Louisiana succumb to being under sea level. Once her father loses his life and her family's driven to Camp Patience, she surrenders to a new normal. However, there's a false underbelly of the Camp and it works its magic on Sarat.
Before long, she's become a weapon for a war that'll change the lives of everyone.

Amazon

Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

What happens when to a world without animal meat? In Tender Is the Flesh, readers will face the horror of this staunch reality.
For main character Marcos, life has dealt him a set of terrible cards. He's separated from his wife and watching his father's health deplete quicker than he can blink his eyes. There's also the sickening fact that he's a part of the "Transition" that helps process specialized human meat.
Then one day it happens: he meets a woman who's supposed to be packaged for consumption and it shatters his usual resolve. The more he interacts with her, the more he wants to find a way to turn away from this horrific government project.

Amazon

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

But her friend Shay isn't so sure about this idyllic world and decides to escape it.
However, those in charge aren't a fan of this runaway situation and put Tally in a complicated position that'll alter her future.

Amazon

Amazon

The Ferryman by Justin Cronin

The Ferryman describes what happens when another "perfect" paradise seems like it's everything but that.
On Prospera, only the privileged are allowed to enjoy glorious living. Though they enjoy the finer things in life, the staff who makes sure they're comfortable aren't granted the same opportunities. Truthfully, they're waiting for the right time to rebel against their conditions because they know the spoiled citizens of Prospera will be granted multiple chances at life.
For Proctor Bennett, his job as a ferryman is to make sure people are able to "retire" when it's time. It's a job he does without fail until a lone message makes him question the validity of the islands.

Amazon

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Amazon
