It's Mother's Day!! I hope everyone did something nice for their mothers or the mother figures in their life. All my sisters and I made brunch for our mom and grandma, but also for our dad, grandpa and uncle. Dad, Saritha, and Sukyong helped me so much in making the brunch! Together we made potatoes, quiche, coffee cake, and crepes with Nutella, bananas, and strawberries! Yum! When I was planning the brunch, I thought of all the foods I consider brunch foods, which are coffee cake and quiche! Crepes are just fun and taste good! The recipes I used were:
Pecan-Streusel Coffee Cake http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Pecan-Streusel-Coffee-Cake-352072 It turned out we didn't have any pecans, so I just left them out. Also the recipe called for whole milk or plain Greek yogurt. We didn't have either of those, so I substituted vanilla bean yogurt. And it turned out great!
Speedy Spinach Quiche http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Speedy-Spinach-Quiche-2049 This recipe asked for Monterey Jack and Parmesan cheese, we had none so dad recommended I use cheddar cheese. We also added spicy chicken sausage for more flavor and protein.
Crepes http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/basic-crepes/Detail.aspx The crepes were good, but a little runny and not very sweet, so after I made one I added a tablespoon of flour and a tablespoon of sugar to the mixture.
And my dad made the potatoes. You can see that two of the recipes are from epicurious.com! That is because I love that website, and whenever I'm looking up a recipe, thats the first place I look!
So the brunch was great and now I'm stuffed. I think I'm going to go hang out with my mom now!
