Mimosas (a good thing to ask your guests to contribute)
Sometimes she hosts brunch, and sometimes that third (or fifth) glass of wine from the evening before can quickly turn into a hangover...listen, dahling, this is 32. Yet, she is a lady of her word and if I’ve invited my friends over for brunch, then you better trust and believe that she shall host that brunch. Making breakfast nachos is a quick and crowd-pleasing brunch option because it’s easy to prepare ingredients in advance! The day before the brunch, I grate the cheese, wash and chop/slice the produce, filter my cold brew, and set out all of my equipment. I also try to have some advil and Gatorade around for the morning...just in case.
This menu is a collection of no-recipe recipes that you can easily tailor to your preference. As I learn more about cooking, I find that recipes are merely suggestions and ways to document the general ideas about how to cook a certain dish. So, with that said, I hope you enjoy this low-drama brunch menu!
