Holiday Brunch

By going out for Thanksgiving dinner, Adam and I saved up all our energy for our brunch on Saturday. We cleaned our apartment, rearranged our furniture, shopped for food and baked up a storm for our 23 brunch guests. We thought we made just enough food, but we had way too much. We also thought we'd been really good about planning ahead, but we were still scurrying around a lot so we took notes on how to improve for next time. Here's our menu:

Beverage:
Coffee and OJ

Buffet:
Chedder Scallion Biscuits
Yogurt & Homemade Granola
Pumpkin Coconut Bread
Sour Cream Coffeecake
Oranges in Lime Sugar Syrup
Cheesy Potatoes
Scrambled Eggs with Avocado

Grill (manned by Chef Adam):
Pancakes
Bacon
Sausage

Cookie Bar:
Adam's Favorite
Chocolate Ginger
Oatmeal Raisin
Mexican Wedding
Chocolate Peanut Butter

The Cheesy Potatoes were a huge hit and ironically the easiest to make. Tator tots, sour cream and cheese all baked up in a casserole...what's not to love.

I was looking at the reviews for the Cheesy Potatoes on Food Network and there are all these comments on how healthy the dish is. Turns out most people use frozen potatoes... not Tator Tots. But Ann's way is way more tasty!

Also, I suspected we had way more food than we needed... I restrained Ann from making two coffee cakes!

Sandra Lee clearly uses tator tots when she made it on her show.
