Brunch {2/23}

02/24 by Leigha 20 Comments

Camera Cleanout #2
Dad-Filled Day

Morning everyone! Blah, another Monday. On the bright side, I only have 4 days of school this week! Yesterday my mom made us a delightful brunch. On the menu:

brunch menu 2-23-14

She used this coffee cake recipe and this quiche recipe! Picture time πŸ˜€

coffee cake, quiche, fruit, and donuts

coffee cake slice

crustless quiche with mushrooms, spinach, and feta

brunch plate

It was hard waiting to eat later than normal, but it was well worth it! Doesn’t everything look awesome? It was the perfect fuel for my 7 mile run.

coffee cake and quiche

We’d like to do this once a month. Maybe next time I’ll do the baking! Thanks for the wonderful meal, mama! 

Are you a sweet or savory brunch eater?

    Seriously drooling over all this food. I haven’t had a donut since like July. Also, you pictures are gorgeous. When I get enough money for a fancy camera I seriously need to invest. And I forgot to tell you I love your new header! The cats are my favorite πŸ˜‰

    Did you change the design of your blog or am I going crazy?! Either way it looks awesome! Sorry if it’s looked like since for a long time please just ignore me haha. Anyways, I’m definitely a sweet brunch eater. I’m not a fan of many savory breakfast items unfortunately. Super jealous of your awesome photography skills!

    Umm can YOUR mom make me some food?! All of that sounds so, so good. I’m a huge sucker for coffee cake. But the quiche and donuts sound equally as appealing. Alright I’m just gonna go now, because all this brunch food is making me jealous. πŸ˜‰

    Note to self: Don’t read Leigha’s blog when hungry!

    I love the whole idea of brunch. I’m such an early riser, so I’m ALWAYS hungry before 7, so the idea of waiting for brunch time to come is unbearable to me, but you make me want to give it a try! I LOVE all your pictures. Seriously, that new camera of yours is doing wonders! The fruit looks so good, and the quiche oh my goodness! ( I really need to go get a snack before I drool all over my screen!)

    Have a lovely Tuesday xx

      Oh you HAVE to try brunch! It’s like my favorite foods – eggs, french toast, coffee cakes, scones, fruit, you get the idea! Maybe you should eat a small snack when you wake up so it will hold you over until brunch πŸ™‚ thanks! Have a fabulous day also πŸ˜€
