Holiday Brunch with A Yummy Recipe


It's  December!!!! I am so excited for Christmas. There is so much yumminess planned for the holiday season. This weekend we hosted a holiday brunch.  So today I will share some pics, ideas and an easy delicious recipe.

Brunch is a great option for first time entertainers, because the dishes aren't too complex. Simple pieces can be impressive.

Here is the menu: 

Honey Glazed Turkey Ham Sandwiches



Potato and Bacon Breakfast Casserole
Banana Muffins 

Granola Yogurt Parfaits ( simply layer yogurt and granola in shot glasses, perfect for single serving)  


Fruit & Cheese Platter ( which we refilled with plantain chips and other fruits)



The cheese in middle is marinated fresh mozzarella. These were bocconcini, which are bite size mozzarella balls. You can use a regular ball of mozzarella and cut it into bite size pieces . 

Here is the recipe for the marinade: 


1/2 cup extra- virgin olive oil 
1 tsp lemon zest 
2 tbsp chopped parsley leaves
1tsp chopped thyme 
1 clove garlic sliced thinly 
1/2 tsp red chili flakes 
1 tsp kosher salt

Combine ingredients and add mozzarella (about 16oz) toss and refrigerate in a covered container for at least 3 hrs or overnight.
