AN EASY YET ELEGANT MOTHER’S DAY BRUNCH
With Mother’s Day a week away and going to your favorite restaurant for brunch not an option this year, we have a suggestion for a simple yet elegant brunch to honor that special person. What a wonderful way for her to start off the day!
Our brunch menu starts with our Spice For Life Bloody Mary made with our own newly created Bloody Mary Spice Blend, which adds a little heat and smoky flavor to the classic drink. This is followed by your choice of two different frittatas, one with lox and one with sausage, accompanied by avocado toast made with our very popular everything bagel blend. We conclude with our twist on Katherine Hepburn’s brownies, there was certainly a no more elegant lady than she.
