    I love these brunches that you have with your family! Brunch is definitely my favorite meal. Everything looks fantastic, especially the bagels! I’ve never had homemade ones!

      The cream cheese icing is what makes cinnamon rolls, in my opinion πŸ™‚

    Your family is so cute. And girl you are rocking the bun. I’ve been doing loads of basketball lately and might rejoin since my foot is healed. Crazyyyy. Have fun at camp for me and make some shots! Anyways, on to important things, like your brunch. I saw this on insta and died a little inside. I love my morning smoothies and oats, but this brunch took the cake. This is the perfect thing to do in the summer! xx

    Banana wheat bagels?! Yum! I’ve always been a fan of fruity bagels (strawberry cream cheese and blueberry bagels being an all time favorite of mine) I will have to try those out!

      You should definitely try them! I got the recipe from the manual of my bread maker (which I just got at a thrift store!). Let me know if you want it! I’ve tried blueberry bagels but never strawberry cream cheese.. but I think I need to!

    Eh, I’m not a fan of bacon either. I’ve smelled it too many times at my job for the past few months…ha! I want to come to one of your brunches! Maybe one time I’ll show up and you can make me some cinnamon rolls. Like my own pan….(extra frosting pleez).

    Have fun at camp, love!!

    Some of these comments are so like minded haha! I can never, ever have brunch either! – It is always breakfast no.2 for me! I always get so hungry in the morning! Only exceptions are when I am abroad and the time zone has messed me up. I am so in the mood for a brunch date now! πŸ™ Everything looks delicious – I’m glad that I am not alone by not being a bacon fanatic either!!
