Happy Easter!!! We had a really nice, low key, and impromptu brunch with family and friends today. We both have been traveling a lot and just wanted to be home and relax this weekend. Yesterday evening, we decided to invite people over brunch and have a lazy Sunday. I didn't know what we were eating until 10am, headed out grocery shopping, purchased some peeps and flowers, and came home to make brunch before everyone arrived at 1pm. I'm a little biased, but thought my centerpiece came out really cute with a peep-lined vase with daffodils and tulips :) Just like I do at my mom's house for Easter, I folded our napkins into little bunnies for a festive touch. And now for the menu:
Main Course: Sausage, Spinach, and Onion Strata

- 2 packages of bacon
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

It wouldn't be Easter without reminiscing our Easter party in SF a few years back....Gotta love the bunny costumes!
