Brunch desserts and Sunday Brunch has a special place for me…
Because for years, I co-hosted group brunches at DC-area well-known places like Jose Andres restaurants, Le Dipomate, and Founding Farmers.
And the funny part is that around the same years when I was not in restaurant chair pose 😊, I was BUSY doing the event planning at neighboring restaurants.
I was around FOOD and planning event parties all day… and that makes a foodie happy!
These days, I’m inspired to be on the other side yet again. This time around, I’m making recipes and not just consuming them..
…So, you’ll find healthy and easy dessert recipes all over my blog. Below, these are some of my favorite home brunch dessert recipes and pairings.
You’ll find a lot of blueberry 🫐 as one of the healthiest, anti-inflammatory foods that can be a morning staple you store in your freezer (and conveniently pull out when you’re ready to use). Blueberries substitute well in any sweet brunch recipe.
My favorite tools include a Magic Bullet for mostly smoothies and a waffle iron for sweet waffles.
They’re fairly low cost compared to other kitchen appliances and make life easy (that’s cozy for lazy weekends!) or hosting events like home brunches.
And they’ll make your life easy for these recipes (click on the blue links below for recipes that aren’t displayed on the page). 👇
