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 a lot 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 recipes all over my blog. Below, these are some of my favorite home brunch waffle 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.
And if you don’t have a waffle maker or waffle iron, I think you will not regret investing in one. They’re fairly low cost compared to other kitchen appliances.
It’s a time saver especially on weekends when you don’t want to turn on the cooktop and you want an easy brunch meal. It heats up fast and voila! you have a sweet AND savory meal.
I hope you enjoy!
