Reader Challenge: The Brunch Edition

Let me set the scene, Monday morning you rise with the nagging feeling that you have forgotten something or that perhaps there is something you should be doing. Rather than pay attention to the feeling you begin attacking the weekly laundry.

Mid-morning your sister calls and asks what time you and the kids will be arriving in a town two hours to the north. Hastily you pack for five people, realizing it is your week to host a women’s group, the morning after your scheduled return. You spend a few moments asking your husband to lend a hand (he’s willing, but works crazy hours) and depart.

Return home Wednesday evening with grouchy children and no time for the grocery store.

Here’s your challenge, Home Eccers, what do you make for a casual brunch serving ten people only out of your pantry and refrigerator?

My solution:

  • biscuits and sausage gravy (strawberry jam or honey for those who don’t like sausage)
  • onion and zucchini frittata (really just a crustless quiche)
  • vanilla yogurt with sliced bananas (must hide the freckled peels) and granola

Now it’s your turn.
