Host breakfast at home with this pretty recipe.

As you plan morning meals, remember that milk is the original farm-to-table food, arriving on grocery store shelves in just two days from many family-owned and -operated dairy farms. In fact, it often originates from dairy farms fewer than 300 miles away from your grocery store.
This sweet, butterfly-inspired twist on a breakfast sandwich, made with Mandarin orange slices, is equal parts pleasing to the palette and eye.
