Brunch Menus and Recipes

Thought of as a combination of breakfast and lunch, these brunch menus are a most delicious way to entertain.  Brunches are traditionally served between 11a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m., and are normally presented buffet-style.  Many restaurant buffets are heavy and rich and are more likely to send you back to sleep then to start your day. 

A welcome change is to host a brunch in your home. There are not many foods that cannot be served for breakfast or lunch, so consider foods you may not ordinarily serve for breakfast such as seafood, steak and pasta.  Keep everything fresh, seasonal and not overly filling. A good brunch menu almost always includes Mimosas and Bloody Mary's.  Make sure to include fruit juices, mineral water, milk and coffee.
