Delicious + Easy Fall Brunch Board Featuring Trader Joe's Favorites

Delicious + Easy Fall Brunch Board Featuring Trader Joe's Favorites

I’m not typically a big breakfast eater, but there’s something about fall that makes me want all the cozy brunch and breakfast foods! I put together this giant fall brunch board mostly to feature some of my favorite Trader Joe’s fall items I had picked up this season. It includes everything from bagels to pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin cinnamon rolls, croissants, fruit. bacon, eggs, muffins, and all the fixings you need to top all of them! This is such an easy way to serve a crowd on the weekend (perfect for an early tailgate meal!) or also so fun for a big family meal too! Find all the ingredients and instructions for putting this one together below!

No brunch spread is complete without a quiche!  This delicious savory quiche includes a one of my favorite combos: spinach + feta.  It's the perfect balance to all the sweet dishes and treats I served at our blogger brunch and was definitely the dish I got the most compliments on!  I used a frozen pie crust to make this recipe even quicker and easier, but if you prefer to make your own crust from scratch that's always an option.  You can find the full list of ingredients and step by step instructions below!

Blogger Brunch at The Amsden

This past weekend I was thrilled to host the most fun little brunch at The Amsden for a group of my local blogger friends.   I'm hoping this will be the first of many events like this in our spaces and I had so much fun decorating and setting everything up inside the coffee shop.  I decided to keep it simple and go with a winter white theme on the table settings.  I found the table runners, napkins, and cute disposable plates at Homegoods.  I wanted to keep cleanup simple so I also used this disposable wooden flatware which was super cute but also practical!  I put together some quick floral arrangements in gold jars using all white flowers, eucalyptus, and baby's breath.  I also cut some extra stems to lay on each place setting on top of the plate and napkin.
