Weekend Brunch: Quick and Easy Menu

Weekend brunches don’t have to be elaborate to be tasty. You don’t even have to serve eggs or pancakes. My menu is stress free and delicious!

This easy to prepare menu is not traditional at all. In fact, it is also a great one for game days too.

setting a casual buffet table

A little red. white and blue is just right any time, not just on patriotic holidays. It’s a comfortable ‘country’ casual look.

Fun, delicious food served for a crowd is simple to make. Perfect for grazing as folks wake up and meander into the kitchen. If you don’t have enough seats, it is easy to handle on your lap with drink on the side table if you sit on a couch or outside in the yard or on your patio or porch.

Easy to serve and easy to eat food choices

It may not look like a usual brunch buffet but I like to offer some non-traditional for a casual buffet sometimes. This is a meal my grandchildren can especially enjoy, a grab and go. Well, everyone likes it comes back for more!

Coffee tastes good with the dishes on this menu. This brunch buffet does not take much time to prepare. Having a slow morning, sitting outside in the yard or the kitchen and living room invites conversations.

Anytime is good for a weekend brunch

Anytime, any season is a great time for hosting guests and family.

Brilliant sunlight, flowers showing off against a green background of a summer yard.

Autumn cool morning during autumn are just so comfortable. Adding light blanket makes the sitting outside cozy!

There seems to be a little more time for conversation and yet another sip of coffee.

Spring is delightful. Winter, maybe siting around the fire inside or outside definitely is cozy!

The mix of formal and country is one I am loving these days. Blue ball mason jars filled with flowers and formal china on a red checkered tablecloth were a pretty combination. Don’t you love unusual shaped bread boards? Here is a similar one…bread board.

Plates were stacked. Paper napkins with mixed family silver mixed with flea market finds in a wire holder adds a little interest to the table setting.

I moved the table to the corner. It opens up the kitchen making a better flow for this casual buffet. Hot drinks and cold juice are on the counter.
