New Year’s Brunch

Champagne Bar

Bloody Mary Bar

Baked French Toast with Praline Topping

Hash Brown Casserole with Chicken Sausage, Red Peppers and Cheese

Hot Chocolate

Happy New Year’s everyone!  I wish you all the best for a healthy and happy 2014!  We had a New Year’s brunch and had a lot of fun.  I set up a Bloody Mary Bar and typed up some recipes so people could create their own concoctions, a champagne bar with several fruit juices, and served hot chocolate with candy cane and marshmallow stir sticks.  I made a hash brown casserole with chicken sausage, red peppers and cheese, and made a baked French toast casserole with a praline topping.  For a healthy option (just for kicks!) I made a honeydew, mango and blueberry fruit salad with cardamom syrup and fresh mint.  I asked guests to bring muffins, or other breakfast treats, and I made some marzipan and raspberry jam pastries.  I get so much inspiration from the internet and love to find printable banners and food cards to customize.  Michael’s is a great resource for buying glass vases, sparkly picks and curling ribbon and I bought a  piece of black fabric to scrunch down the middle of the table.  My twinkle garland came in handy for adding a little light and glitter to  the table, and I reused my silver Christmas balls for champagne bubble decorations.  Click here for the menu, time line, printable banner and shopping list….
