Weekends are perfect for brunch. You know that wonderful cross section of a meal between breakfast and lunch where you don’t have to choose one or the other. You can mix and match your dishes at will. It’s a beautiful thing.

If you’re looking to have a week-end get together, brunch is perfect and definitely budget friendly (well as long as you’re not wanting to serve caviar or truffles with your eggs and if you are let me know what time to be there).

I’ve teamed up with my friends at McCormick to create a recipe and share with you some of my favorite tips and tricks for entertaining. Crepes are much easier to make than you would imagine, no need to be intimidated (because honestly I was for years until I tried it). Now the first one or two may come out a little wonky but once you get the hang of it you’ll be whipping out so many you could make a crepe cake standing on your head.

Crepes are the perfect brunch choice. The filling possibilities are endless and they can be made sweet or savory. Options. We like them. These are sweet and tangy and remind me of the crepes my Mom would make me for breakfast growing up.

Tips and Tricks for Entertaining: 

 

If you stress about entertaining or just get butterflies about the whole situation (it happens to all of us, anyone who says they don’t get stressed or nervous well then I can only assume they have a party planner, a caterer and a stylist to get them ready and well that just doesn’t count.)
 

Here are a few of my tips and tricks for entertaining:

  • Always have something ready for guests to nibble on when they arrive. Always. Appetizers are a must.
  • Keep the party going. Set up different serving stations around your entertaining area this way guests can mix and mingle.
  • Remember your guests are there to SEE you, not your house! Don’t stress about the “mess” no one will see.
  • Don’t be afraid to take a few short-cuts. Yes I said it. If you don’t have time to make fresh whipped cream because you were too busy picking up the kids mess and throwing it into a closet minutes before your guests arrive (anyone?) then by all means use pre-made. Add a few drops of McCormick extract and voila’ it’s instantly better.
