I often look for recipes that inspire me and then I modify them for what I have in the house or what would suit the tastes of my guests. This time I followed a recipe for Brunch Bake, and made several modifications. I didn't have enough spinach so I substituted finely chopped broccoli, added green, yellow, and red bell peppers, added scallions, and extra hot sauce.
The results were good, but I didn't think fantastic, not sure if I will make this recipe again, but I will certainly use the method again. I really like the idea of using the puff pastry to make the tart.
The other delicious treats we enjoyed that Sunday morning were Traci's freshly squeezed Blood Orange Juice. So Yum, a bit of tartness comes through a Blood Orange that you don't get with a traditional Navel Orange that I just love. She also stopped by one of our favorite places for some colorful doughnuts, Dutch Monkey Doughnuts.
Lindsey made her ever famous sausage rolls. These little treats are super easy to make, unroll refrigerated crescent roll dough, spread bulk breakfast sausage, and roll back up. Slice into discs and back until golden brown. Walla, crazy delicious and they taste like you put forth A LOT more effort.
She also brought cheese grits.....not this Mid-Western girl’s favorite dish, but I did try it. It was good but for me it is a texture thing, just can't get myself to enjoy grits.
After gorging ourselves we sipped our coffee and caught up on some much needed chatting. Of course the conversation moved to my Mom. We talked for a long time, and I think that that morning is when I really started the healing process. It was nice to talk with my girls, be totally honest with all of it and just let it out. I think it was just the beginning of the journey to having peace with it, but it's a start!
Thanks ladies for the wonderful morning, I look forward to many more!
