Happy Monday friends! What a great weekend. I recently moved into a new place a couple of weeks ago during my transition from San Jose to New York. The new situation is totally relaxed (unlike the last) and my new roommate loves to entertain. With that said, I have been wanting to have people over for a brunch of some sort. It was very last minute but I managed to put together a pretty delicious menu. The menu included a vegetarian quiche, ham quiche (for my meat lover friends), french toast with fresh berries, fresh whipped cream, breakfast potatoes and plenty of fruit! I don’t normally consume these breakfast foods but sometimes you have to splurge a little. Let’s just say it was a nice treat from the steel cut oats, juices and no sugar items I usually eat. The turnout was perfect, about 10 people and before I knew it the mimosas were in full force along with the food being devoured quickly! I love cooking but more importantly, I love hosting for others and showing them that home made food isn’t that hard, can be organic and enjoyed in moderation and tastes delicious! From what I heard, the food was a success and there will have to be another brunch before I move! Can’t wait!

Tamale Time.
Friends! How was your Chritmas holiday?? We made it through! Mine was a two day filled family event. Christmas eve we spent the morning at my sisters for brunch and some quality time with my, mom, uncles, aunts, cousins and the friends we choose to call family. It was such a great day- the rain broke so we were able to enjoy the day without horrible weather. We celebrated with mimosas, an amazing vegetarian quiche (courtesy of my sister) and of course tamales (jalapeno and cheese for me) + rice and beans. What kind of Mexican holiday would it have been without that! They were sooooo yummy. It’s always a great time to spend with the family that lives so close and don’t see enough! I hope you are all enjoying the time off and preparation into the new year. Don’t forget, just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean you get to be sluggish. Think ahead, you won’t have to work as hard come January 1. I’ll share more pictures from Christmas tomorrow….until then- Â Happy Wednesday!
