Brunch Board


So we're out of cereal this morning and I had to get creative about breakfast, which made me start thinking more about breakfast. French toast and mimosas would be excellent right about now, but alas, I have no bread, eggs, orange juice, or champagne and must settle for oatmeal.

But back to weddings! The day after brunch is becoming a huge trend these days as more and more couples are turning their weddings into a wedding weekend. We won't be having one because our honeymoon flight takes off at 7:30 in the morning (it seemed like a good idea at the time), but I would have loved to have one! And if I had, I would have done it in beautiful, soft, warm, sunrise colors, like gold and pink. Maybe I would even throw in a touch of orange. The brunch can be as fancy or as homespun as you like, and you don't even have to have it. There are some cultures (Afghan I think) where the bride and the groom typically go together to their parents' house for breakfast the next day, the idea being that the bride shouldn't cook yet. I love that idea!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these ideas for brunch, and that you get something a little more fun than oatmeal for your own breakfast!
