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!

You really can easily customize this with a variety of different baked goods, desserts, and sweet treats or by doing a certain color-scheme or theme if you need to!
