brunch.



so today has been busy and lovely. i enjoy having people over, i look forward to it so so much. It makes me a little giddy...perhaps it is due to the fact that for every 6 people we invite...only 2 can come (we are WAY too spontanious and thus our invitations are often turned down due to late notice. so sad. boohoo). So when people are actually coming, and i get to set the table, make food, get coffee on, and prepare a tray of teas....i just love it! Julia enjoys the thrill as well. she sets the table (sure it is sometimes with HER dishes and tea set instead of the real thing, but that is okay) and cooks food (in her kitchen, and often in mine with me) and talks about the people coming and dances around giggling when the cars pull up to the house. ah, joy in community.

anyway. today's visit was with Aunti Ann, Uncle Eric, Oma and Opa (mom and dad naus). Eric just returned from working in the Caribbean (tanned) and so the brunch was timely for seeing him again!

I love cooking breakfast foods, so brunch is great fun for me.

ANy family favorites out there??? special french toasts? pancakes? granola's? egg dishes??

loves. from sue.

PANCAKES!!! In shapes. It all started one Superbowl Sunday when my daddy decided to make a football shaped pancake and a tradition was born. What a fond memory. I now make ABC and 123's courtesy of this someone, on whose blog I leave this comment.
We all love to make brunchy food too. Nathan likes to make french toast. Paul pulls together an amazing fruit salad and Emily likes to crack eggs!
Glad baby and you and fam are well.
Love, me

I left a soup comment for you.

My new favorite breakfast/brunch special occasion food is German APple pancakes. They can be made the night before and popped in the oven, or made in the morning. Very easy and delicious batter, and they have apples in them. Can be sugary, but you can cut come of that out. You can make them in a big plan, or in muffin pans for individual servings. They puff up, taste delicious and are pleasingly easy.

Here's a link:

I am stuck on bagel with cream cheese, and jam! or, a bagel cream cheese, and scrambled eggs on top!
I haven't been much of a breakfast person, but thats ok.

I hope you find many new things to make!
