Any excuse to have Sunday brunch will do nicely for most people because we all agree that there’s nothing better than a relaxing brunch with your family and friends. Why do we love brunch so much?
“Brunch, the ever playful combination of breakfast and lunch,” consists of what Guy Beringer, author of Brunch: A Plea, defines as, ”cheerful, sociable and inciting.”
Is it the warm feeling of fullness and the fizzy bubbles of champagne as it adds a special glow to all around? Or, is it the lovely simplicity of sitting down with your closest friends over a quiet mid-morning brunch with your favorite comfort foods to talk about past adventures and future plans?

Say Hello to Summer Tablescapes

Plan and Prepare a Healthy Brunch Menu
Traditionally, brunch is a meal of indulgence so don’t slim down this meal or you will face disappointed guests. People have high expectations for this meal. However, write your menu using only the freshest, healthiest options for each menu item.
Make a list of guests and possible food allergies or dietary plans to make sure you have something for everyone. Another option is to have your guests bring an item making it a potluck but be sure they understand your theme in advance.
Plan and prepare your summer brunch with these three easy steps. When your theme is decided, the guests are present, the table is set, and the food is prepared, then you can give yourself a pat on the back for a spectacular summer brunch that brings memorable delight to your family and guests.
