Brunch!!!

Oh, how I love brunch! How could anyone not? Breakfast and lunch combined with sweet and savory treats, dessert and even some bubbles 😀 What makes a perfect brunch? The answer to that will depend on who you ask. My own opinion is that balance makes a perfect brunch - sweet and salty in perfect harmony. I have a bit of a sweet tooth so I always have to reign myself in when planning a brunch. Also I think it's important to pick dishes that can be prepared beforehand. It makes the life of the hostess a lot easier.

Here's the menu for the brunch in this picture:

Bagels - Plain and Poppy Seed

Scones

Fresh Bread with Nuts, Seeds and Dried Fruit

Jams - Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry Passion Fruit

An Assortment of Cream Cheeses

Cold Cuts - Turkey, Ham, Turkey Salami

Sliced Vegetables - Avocado, Red Bell Pepper, Basil, Red and Yellow Cherry Tomatoes

Boiled Eggs

Juices - Apple and Orange

Marshmallows

Fruit Platter - Strawberries, Grapes, Passion Fruit, Kiwi, Mango, Watermelon, Papaya and Pineapple

Lemon Poppy Seed Baked Donuts

Easter Yogurt "Cheesecake"

I'll be posting recipes for all these goodies (except for the bread, which my colleague's wife made. I don't have the recipe for that unfortunately). Stay tuned!
