As we enter a new year and swear out our resolutions, some of which we'll keep, others that will fall by the wayside, I'm reminded that it's the little things that make life worth living. We all have our lists of what they are.

If you're not enjoying breakfast, then you're missing out on one of the greatest pleasures in life. Most chefs that I know, my Top Chef Brother included, relish making breakfast. The tastes of it -- from sweet to savory, often including bacon, butter, and egg yolk, the three best tasting things in the world -- are legendary.

While they used to be available only at specialty Asian grocers, they're become more widely accessible over the last few years. Even Trader Joe's sells them now.
