We Love Brunch!
Breakfast + Lunch = Brunch.
Brunch is generally served at about 10 am and can consist of breakfast and/or lunch items! For a wider spread, you could even include some of both. What’s not to love?! We especially love serving a brunch spread for special occasions and holidays.
Hosting brunch may seem a bit daunting, especially if you’ve opted to make it all yourself as opposed to potluck style. We’ve rounded up plenty of our best brunch ideas to make it a breeze! Because it’s a mix of breakfast and lunch, we’ve included a variety of flavor profiles to make every spread perfect.
Several brunch recipes can be made ahead of time, even the day before! Make your morning smooth and those bellies happy. Enjoy, and get your brunch on! 😉
