Whether it is Sunday Funday or some idle Tuesday when you feel like sipping mimosas, making a bagel board and lounging around with friends, these are my ultimate favorite dishes to bring or have at any brunch. They are gorgeous, delicious and always a hit!
Before we start, let me note a few things:
I am a firm believer in getting creative in the kitchen! From the recipe itself to the presentation, I have the most fun when I spontaneously add a dash of this or an entirely new ingredient to the mix all together. Just remember to make a note to yourself when you do, if you do, so that you can remember what you did differently in the case that this batch of whatever you are making just so happens to be the best you ever made!
