Hope you enjoyed the long weekend. I know we did!
J had some family visiting from out of town, so I offered to host a little brunch on Sunday. The most important thing about hosting a brunch is having all the prep work done ahead of time so that morning you can relax and just put it all together. Overall it was a big success and everyone left full of yummy food.
Set the table the night before! I set out all the platters and put little post-its on each with what was to be in/on them for my own peace of mind.
Trader Joe's mini croissants thaw on parchment overnight and swell into these lovely decadent beauties! 20 minutes in the over for perfection, and super easy!
I made these the day before, then rested them out an hour before putting them in the oven to rise a bit. Store bought sweet dough or pizza dough with homemade filling and cream cheese frosting was a decadent treat.
Veggies cooked and potatoes roasted the day before makes for a delicious 20 minute frittata.
Also on the menu was bacon, fruit salad, and store-bought Trader Joe's banana bread! It was nice being able to sit at home and chat and relax rather then being rushed around and shouting in a restaurant. It was a great morning. My mother in law took a pic with all the food on the table- I was shy to take my own so I'll have to get it from her!
