Brunch!

For years I have always dreamed of having a great kitchen with lots of good appliances so that I could cook and entertain family and friends -- now its finally happening. Today, Charlie and I hosted out first official brunch party to celebrate his father's birthday.

I had so much fun setting the table and pulling out some of our new serving pieces. Unfortunately, I was too preoccupied with making sure the food was coming out OK that I forgot to take photos. But I thought I would share my menu with you. Here goes:

Starters

Assorted bread basket

Banana Bread, Tuscan Lemon Muffins, Irish Soda Bread, Semolina Bread

Fresh Fruit Salad

Entrees

Goddess Salad with Haricots Verts & Feta

Prosciutto & Mozzarella Frittata - definitely a make again. SO GOOD.

Kale, Potato & Onion Frittata

Breakfast sausage & bacon

Dessert

Layered Chocolate Mousse Cake (courtesy of my soon-to-be in-laws)

Milano cookies

Cappuccinos

Beverages
Bloody Marys, Mimosas, Citrus Water

Twenty-five eggs and one slow-baking oven later, I'd say our first brunch gathering was a success!
