does anyone have any idea for a brunch menu? Thanks.
 
The Baked Eggs Benedict is fabulous! You can use the Rectangular Baker, you could probably also use the Oval Baker. Anyhoo, bake it for 5-10 minutes longer than it says to.

What do you mean you are two shows away from a prromotion?
 
I do the Bountiful Brunch Pizza - everyone loves it

I think it means that when her recruit has 2 more shows she will be a director.
 
ding ding ding...Gillian is right. If I don't look at it that way, I start to look at it in time, and I get tense!!! The best part is that she does have the 2 shows...she just needs to submit them :D
 
Congrats, Kate!!! Whoo hoo!!!

I can't wait to be just like you! ;)

WAY TO GO!!!

Along the Breakfast idea, has anyone done pancakes in the bar pan? Can you just pour the mix in the pan? If anyone has done it, does it take longer than doing them on a griddle? Thanks for any input, I want to do one large pancake that can be cut with either the creative cutters or the kids cookie cutters.
 
I have done it. Make sure you line the bar pan with parchment paper and then just pour the batter in. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until it starts to turn golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and remove the parchment paper with pancake from the pan. I placed it on a tarp on the kitchen floor (parchment between the tarp and pancake) and gave the kids the creative cutters set while I did a demo for the parents.

I just made the Carmel Apple Cake (got the recipe here - thanks Karlene!) - it is awesome and easy!!



CARAMEL APPLE CAKE
2 (8 oz) cans Pillsbury Refrigerated flaky Biscuits
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 stick melted butter or margarine
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
1 medium Granny Smith apple
Mixture of 2tbsp. sugar and 2 teaspoon cinnamon

Melt butter in a skillet. Add brown sugar and corn syrup. Mix. Chop nuts and sprinkle on top. Core, peel and slice apple, chop, and sprinkle on top. Dip one side of each biscuit into cinnamon/sugar and place sugar side down (I cut the biscuits in half and coated them in the cinnamon/sugar and then spread the rest of the cinnamon/sugar on top). Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes in the skillet. Remove from oven and invert on platter.

One of my future host wants the Eggs Benedict recipe in the Season's best but I don't have a 12 inch skillet - It works of in the stoneware??
Any good alternative ideas - She is a potential consultant so I want to try to do a really good shows. I mean I always try to do a good show but I am not where close to perfect
LOL!
 
Kate,

I haven't recruited anyone. Not for lack of trying... I had three potentials in one week and all of them flaked out on me. Not one would return my calls.... I keep trying... I want to get there...

We'll see... :)

Kathytnt,

I haven't tried it in the stoneware... I thought about that too. I didn't have a 12" skillet either, so I used my 10"....

If you give it a try with the stoneware, let us know how it turns out.

Jaye
 
It works great in the rect. baker!
 
Thanks Kate!

I will give that a shot!! :)

I can't believe it's Sunday... I am not ready for the week to start! :)

Habe a great day!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some easy brunch menu ideas for a crowd?

For a crowd, consider a mix of sweet and savory options. A great idea is a breakfast casserole, which can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning. Pair it with a fresh fruit salad and a selection of pastries or muffins. Don't forget a coffee and juice bar to keep everyone refreshed!

How can I incorporate Pampered Chef products into my brunch menu?

Pampered Chef offers a variety of tools that can make your brunch preparation easier and more enjoyable. Use the Stoneware for baking casseroles or quiches, the Mix 'N Chop for scrambling eggs, and the Food Chopper for prepping fruits and vegetables. Their serving platters and bowls also add a nice touch to your brunch presentation.

What are some healthy brunch options I can serve?

For a healthier brunch, consider serving a quinoa salad with fresh vegetables, a yogurt parfait with granola and berries, or an egg white frittata loaded with spinach and tomatoes. These options are nutritious and can be prepared in advance, making them perfect for a stress-free brunch.

Can I make brunch items ahead of time?

Absolutely! Many brunch items can be prepared in advance. Breakfast casseroles, muffins, and pastries can be made the night before. You can also chop fruits and vegetables ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Just remember to reheat items like casseroles before serving to ensure they are warm and delicious!

What drinks should I serve at a brunch?
