It sounds heavenly! @peaches1038: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737547 Thu, 18 May 2017 14:00:21 +0000 Mrsbells 2737547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: i personally would only do fruit if I knew I could keep it cold. I would lean towards those pull apart breads that you can dip.<br /> @peachykeen: that looks so yummy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737523 Thu, 18 May 2017 12:25:43 +0000 peachykeen 2737523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make this French toast casserole in situations like that - make ahead night before then stick in oven while getting ready for the day. It generally keeps warm for a while in one of those insulated casserole carriers, but it is good at room temp too.</p> <p><a href="http://lovintheoven.com/cinnamon-baked-french-toast" rel="nofollow">http://lovintheoven.com/cinnamon-baked-french-toast</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737521 Thu, 18 May 2017 12:18:14 +0000 peaches1038 2737521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: that sounds easy and delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737422 Thu, 18 May 2017 08:53:43 +0000 wrkbrk 2737422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: Would a caprese salad hold up?? Just tomato slices, basil, buffalo mozzerella slices and olive oil/vinegar/sea salt drizzled on top? We did that recently and it was a much bigger hit than the time it took to prepare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737368 Thu, 18 May 2017 04:51:34 +0000 Pumuckl 2737368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another thing to easily make ahead is mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes and if you're feeling fancy a basil leave on a toothpick </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737354 Wed, 17 May 2017 22:42:09 +0000 peaches1038 2737354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great ideas everyone! I think I might do a fruit pizza with lemon curd mascarpone 😍 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737353 Wed, 17 May 2017 22:38:48 +0000 LemonJack 2737353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the idea of fruit and dip or the coffee cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737351 Wed, 17 May 2017 22:33:07 +0000 gingerbebe 2737351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coffee cake or banana bread.</p> <p>Or homemade granola and bring along some yogurt and berries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737349 Wed, 17 May 2017 21:45:21 +0000 MamaCate 2737349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My vote is fruit salad because I know my kids will devour it which means I don't have to worry about them finding something to eat and then possibly dealing with hangry kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737347 Wed, 17 May 2017 21:30:37 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2737347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scones! And bring butter and a couple types of jam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737340 Wed, 17 May 2017 20:59:48 +0000 Jennibenni 2737340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you do fruit, make the fruit dip that's half whipped cream cheese, half marshmallow fluff. It's really yummy and makes fruit a little more exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737297 Wed, 17 May 2017 19:16:45 +0000 caterw 2737297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cinnamon rolls, coffee cake </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-make-ahead-item-to-bring-to-a-brunch#post-2737293 Wed, 17 May 2017 19:06:39 +0000 peaches1038 2737293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to brunch at DH's coworkers house this weekend and I need something easy to make. We have gymnastics from 9-945 and will have to head to their place around 1030. I want something easy, yummy and that can be made ahead and served cold or at room temperature. I was thinking muffins or a fruit salad. Any other brilliant suggestions?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brunch-ideas#post-118836 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 01:52:30 +0000 looch 118836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back to the drawing board, my husband said no to the breakfast pizza!</p> <p>So I am thinking about just doing 2 apps (cut out the scrambled eggs on toast) and do the french toast...most of it can be done the night before or in the morning. It's only 4 of us plus my toddler, so it isn't a huge amount of cooking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brunch-ideas#post-118085 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:16:13 +0000 heffalump 118085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds awesome! It does sound like a lot of work though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brunch-ideas#post-117832 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 09:21:50 +0000 chrispygal 117832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sound delish! I'm always a big fan of quiche for brunches. They can be made ahead if need be and can be a nice "hearty" option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brunch-ideas#post-117820 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 09:15:07 +0000 chopsuey 117820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOW! Sounds sooooo good! :D<br /> I think fruit for dessert is good in the AM! Or strawberry shortcake? </p> <p>I made french toast, sausage and cut up fresh strawberries for LO and my breakfast this am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brunch-ideas#post-117814 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 09:10:52 +0000 Alivoo01 117814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like a delicious brunch!! I agree with @hilsy85: suggestion of making it more of a buffet/self serve style so that you can enjoy the brunch with your guests as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brunch-ideas#post-117695 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 07:01:45 +0000 hilsy85 117695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds delish! My only concern would be with all of those individual things, that you would be spending too much time in the kitchen plating stuff, rather than being able to hang out with your guests! Can you do family style type stuff so people can serve themselves? </p> <p>As for dessert, I don't think it's necessary with all the other yummy stuff you'll have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brunch-ideas#post-117693 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 06:38:52 +0000 looch 117693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having some friends over for brunch this weekend, I wanted to do something a little different, so I was thinking of doing a three course set up...bad idea?</p> <p>Appetizers: scrambled eggs on toast, salmon/cream cheese on cucumber rounds, mushrooms on hash browns<br /> Main: Individual French toast casseroles with praline topping, fruit salad with yogurt dressing<br /> Dessert: no idea?</p> <p>Or, should I just keep it simple and make one thing? I could do something like a breakfast pizza.</p> <p>WWYD? </p>
