brunch: a labor of love

This weekend I had visitors! It was a great opportunity to make brunch. It was a labor of love, and super delicious.

Saturday Brunch:

Kale: 

I grew it from seed in my planter garden.

(I grew the herbs, too! Marjoram, lemon thyme, parsley.)

Crepes stuffed with kale, shallots, bacon, garlic, herbs, and cheese, 

topped with a fried egg.

Sunday brunch:

(Quiche going into the oven.)

Quiche coming out!

Three-cheese rustic quiche with 

cream cheese, cheddar, american cheese with lemon balm (from my garden!), 

topped with shallots and prosciutto.

Served with a strawberry, cucumber, & arugula salad, topped whipped ricotta.

Beverages: smoothie and sparkling wine.

Monday brunch (for one, my guests are gone)... more crepes!

This one is deconstructed 

(what all my crepes look like right before I take my first bite), 

and ready to devour.
