The brunch to end all brunches
Hi friends 🙂 Happy Sunday! Hope you’ve had an amazing day so far. Loved reading your wedding snafu stories- they’re always funnier after the fact, right? 😉
We just got back from the brunch to end all brunches 😀
I told ya about this before, but my nana used to own a catering business back in the day and always makes beautiful spreads for family parties. The Pilot was bummed that he had to miss Easter, so my nana did a repeat brunch today in his honor 🙂
We brought flowers for the hostess:
and the donuts that I made last night.
I was so happy with how cute they turned out!! The chocolate ganache was just melted dark chocolate chips (melted in a double boiler, thinned out with a little almond milk) and topped with sprinkles.
When we got to nana’s house, per usual, she had a bunch of foodgasmic delights waiting for the fam to get there 😀
Egg casserole (my fave!!!) with salsa, ham, bacon and sausage
Potatoes, apple puff pancake
(EEK! Blurry photo- sorry!)
Biscuits, butter, cinnamon rolls (<— everything homemade)
Fresh fruit, orange juice, tea and coffee
The dessert table dreams are made of:
Italian cream cake, turtle pie, blueberry peach cobbler and the donuts.
Heaven, my friends.
I enjoyed the above plate of egg casserole, fruit, potatoes (+ more potatoes and egg), some cobbler and a donut + orange juice.
Hellooooooo food baby 😀
The best part was spending our Sunday with the familia <3
We’re off to do the errand thang and clean around here (maybe nap too? Heh heh), and then I’m getting a fun new recipe in the dehydrator 🙂
See ya later today!
xoxo
Gina

oh man i want a spread like that, that would have been awesome. family time is the best 🙂
family time is the best 🙂
Those donuts are so adorable!!!
That brunch sounds ridonk, especially the homemade cinnamon rolls. Your nana is awesome. 😀
Gina, so happy for you and the Pilot that you guys got to spend a lovely day with your family…and all that home cookin’…love it!
I know you’ve mentioned your nana’s egg casserole before and how you love it. I would have been all over the homemade cinny rolls, the cobbler, and your donuts (which turned out FABULOUSLY!)
love the last shot…artsy and hip. Dig it 🙂
This brunch looks amazing! I would die for one of those donuts
That’s quite the spread! I would’ve attacked those desserts.
Enjoy the day!
O.M.G. that brunch spread is LEGIT!!! props to your nana!!
can your nana be my nana, too? She sounds amazing and I’m so glad you all had a nice day!!
YUM! I can never resist a good brunch spread…
All of that food looks amazing! Homemade cinnamon rolls? Yes please!
Family is the BEST! I always enjoy every minute when I get to see mine! Love u!
Yum! Your donuts look so good!
Whoa, that’s one awesome brunch!! I always overdo it at those things..so there’d be no stopping me at one like that!
The brunch looks to die for. I bet the pilot was in hog heaven!
yes he was very happy 🙂
That spread is seriously impressive. Major kudos to your Nana! 😀
I love the hand holding picture. Some people forget how close you feel when you hold someone’s hand
my fave 🙂
I read your blog all the time, but was disappointed by this post. Your plate had barely any food on it, not sure it even counts as a meal. You call that a food baby? Do you really think that is a meal that makes you so stuffed? Maybe I am misinterpreting this so please correct me if I am wrong. If I am right, really bad example for the people struggling with EDs.
Toward end of her post she said she had the pictured plate of food plus more casserole,potatoes, cobbler donut and juice.
THANKS! I thought she was just listing the items on the plate, oops!
i think we all know i like my food 😉
Sorry!
no worries at all 🙂
exactly right- thanks 🙂
Aw, what a sweet post!
I have a questions for you, Gina. I bought the chocolate protein powder from your OpenSky recently and am excited to give it a shot. Can you give me some of your fav ways to use it?!
TIA!
amazeballz, breakfast cookie, smoothies (banana, almond butter, almond milk, sun warrior), protein fluff, perfect protein pancakes and adding it to brownies/cookies 🙂
Your nana is amazing! What a spread! And how nice of her to cook it again for the pilot 🙂
Hope you two have a wonderful rest of your day! 🙂
Please tell your Nana that I will dream about her brunch forever. Looks. So. Good.
i will tell her 🙂
it was AMAZING
Um..your grandma sure does know how to make a mean brunch spread! I’ve never been a brunch fan.. but I think I’d enjoy it if it was made by your gram!
Do you have any advice on binging? I keep eating and eating until im sick andi dont know why 🙁
i don’t :/ i’ve eaten way too much of things before, but never to the point where i felt i was out of control. definitely seek out a registered dietitian or doctor who might be able to help you <3
Thank you <3 your blog is inspirational, you are a wonderful person.
Wow, you nana is an amazing cook! This post made me think about my own grandma and her wonderful food. Glad you had a fun Sunday!
I would have eaten EVERYTHING!!! My grandma has seriously been slacking! I need to show her this to get her to up her game 😛
don’t do that! gma won’t let you read my blog anymore 😉
hi gina, so glad you enjoyed your sunday with the family. its so awesome that you all get together for brunch. your Nana is so cute. well, very happy that have your husband back home now.
thank you 🙂
i like having him around too
i mean “you”
Your donuts look amazing!!! Make me want one so badly 🙂 glad you enjoyed your brunch with your family!
aw.
sounds like an awesome day.
the brunch spread = amazing!
Yum! You should have a donut giveaway! Or just send some to me. 😉
The food looks delicious but those donuts you made takes the cake for me!
love that your g-ma makes so many things from scratch! do you know what she puts in the egg casserole?
nope and i always want to ask her, but not knowing makes it even better. i know there are green chiles in it
Looked like the best brunch! glad the donuts turned out 😉
By any chance did your Nana look SO happy because you just told her your BIG news!? (I may or may not currently be re-reading your last two months of posts for baby news clues!) 😉
yes!! i actually got a pic of her face as she read the card, too… priceless 🙂
Ahaha! I’m loving this right now! 🙂 Your hints were so subtle but seem glaringly obvious now! 🙂
