Mother's Day Brunch






On Monday, I planned a huge Mother's Day brunch for 18 of my family and friends. Greg and I had an awesome time coming up with the menu, especially since breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. We ended up with so much food, that we ate leftovers for every meal for 3 days. We even made pizza with the leftovers! Thanks to Laura and all the cousins for helping out.

Drinks:
-Mango-Orange Mimosas
-Kir Royale
-Fresh Strawberry Lemonade
-Mint Limeade
-Sun Tea with Honey
-Coffee

Appetizers:
-Bacon wrapped scallops
-Shrimp Cocktail
-Asparagus, Tomatoes, Cheese and Crackers
-Fruit Salad

Entree:
-Smoked Salmon, Chive Cream Cheese, Boursin, Marionberry Cheese, and Olive Bread
-Grilled Vegetables in Balsamic marinade
-Baked Challah French Toast with strawberries and Cardomon-Nutmeg Whipped Cream
-Leek, Mushroom, and Gruyere Quiche and Sausage, Pepper, Onion, and Cheddar Quiche

Dessert:
-Poires Belle-Helene (Poached Pears with ice cream and chocolate sauce) -- This is Greg's specialty

... needless to say, we were stuffed for days!
