Baby Brunch

Here is the menu from the beautiful brunch my dear friend Lynne hosted for me. Everything was delicious but I especially loved the egg dish and the raisin toast. The egg dish would be great for any holiday brunch or group gathering. You can prep part of it the day before, toss it all together in the morning and bake it. When your guests arrive, your main dish is done. So easy.

One thing I love about my group of friends is that we love to get together, eat and hang out and we love to do it is sweats. What better way to eat off fine china and sip mimosas from crystal than in sweatpants and t-shirts?!

(Thank you Lynne for a great meal and fun day! And thank you friends for all the adorable baby boy clothes!)
