I hosted brunch for Mom's birthday today. It was good and all I made from scratch was the yogurt cream and roasted asparagus. Everything else was purchased. If you are local, it mostly came from Nugget. It was surprisingly good.
Honey Baked Ham (Honeybaked Ham Store)
Quiche: Pear & Blue Cheese, Mushroom and Lorianne (Nugget)
Berries & Granola with Yogurt Cream (recipe at www.thepioneerwoman.com)
Melon
Roasted Asparagus (tossed in olive oil, sea salt and pepper. 425 degrees for 15 to 20 mins)
Freshly baked croissants (William Sonoma website)
Apricot and Blueberry Scones (Nugget)
Orange and Cranberry Muffins (Nugget)
Apricot Mustard for the Ham (equal parts prepared apricot preserves and brown mustard)
Basil Garlic Aoli (for the roasted asparagus)
I tell ya what. This was the easiest, as far as prep goes, party I've ever done. And it was yummy and pretty. Mike said regarding the quiche..."if all quiche tasted like that, I would totally eat quiche." He ate five croissants. He just kept going with boysenberry jam. He loves breakfast food.
It's nice to know not all parties have to be tons of work and made from scratch.
