BRUNCH!

Tuesday night my high school friend-turned sophomore year in college roommate-turned now grown up friend Rachel joined me for yet another one of my fave local cooking classes at the New Pioneer Co-op. This time the topic was 'Winter Weekend Brunch' and it was fab as usual! We enjoyed samples of and learned how easy Egg Strata is to make with variations such as sausage, feta & various seasonal vegetables. We also devoured crepes with strawberries & chocolate hazelnut spread, frozen 'citrus fruit freeze' & crispy hash browns. We washed it all down with Mimosa's & classic peach nectar Bellini's- yum! I am inspired to create a special Valentines Day Brunch for my very own sweetie this coming Saturday morning (even though it is probably more of an excuse for me to enjoy a decadent breakfast than anything else but he doesn't need to know this).

how to make a classic peach Bellini
fill 1/2 your champagne or wine glass with peach nectar (sold in cans these days) & top off the rest of the way with Italian Prosecco wine, drop in 1 fresh raspberry and enjoy!
