Sunday Brunch

One of my favorite ways to cap off a great weekend is brunch with friends. There are some fabulous brunch places around here, and I love it even more by enjoying it out on a patio by the water.

I also enjoy making hot breakfast for us at home on the weekends. I tell H all the time that he's spoiled since he usually has his pick of pancakes, french toast, or scrambled eggs and turkey sausage on the weekends.

Because I enjoy cooking a hot breakfast on the weekends, and all our friends enjoy brunching I thought it would be neat to host brunch at our house one weekend outside.

To me brunch is a colorful meal... between the different juices for mimosas and fruit platters I believe the decor should be full of pretty colors as well.

Necessities:

~ Beautiful bouquet of flowers as the centerpiece

~ Bellini candles

~ Make your own coffee bar with k-cups and colorful coffee cups and saucers

~ Make your own mimosa bar with fresh fruit and a variety of juices to mix with the champs

~ Bagel station complete with a bagel slicer (one of my favorite items off our Crate & Barrel registry from our wedding) and a cream cheese schmearer *also from C&B*.

~ Waffles with VT maple syrup

~ Bacon... always bacon

~ Melon balls *melon baller also from C&B*

~ Omelettes topped off with avocado slices

~ Angel food cake with fresh strawberries for dessert
