Easter Sunday

Easter basket, thanks mom!

One thing I promised my dad when I left for college was that I'd be home for every holiday.  In this case, Easter had me on the road Friday afternoon with a friend of mine here at school, Peppiina.

The week before Easter Sunday, I scavenged for recipes on my favorite food blog, Food 52.
No doubt, breakfast is my favorite meal. However, brunch allows room for flexibility.  I like being able to handle sweet & salty, spicy & mild; adding a kick to the OJ is a brunch bonus too!
Once I spotted a few eye-catching dishes, I customized a menu to the liking of family and friends:

Easter Brunch Menu:

Fruit salad kissed with a modified "coeur a la creme"
Grapefruit brulee
French toast
Baked eggs over a mixed potato hash
Quinoa pea salad (compliments of the NY Times)

French Toast
Quinoa salad, grapefruit brulee, eggs & potato hash
Mom, Dad, Nana & Joe

 Happy Easter!
