Sunday Brunch

I love going out for brunch on Sundays, but try to resist the temptation since a delicious brunch is so easy and inexpensive to make at home!  You probably already have most of the ingredients lying around in your kitchen anyway.  Eggs, bread, milk, syrup, cinnamon, cheese, etc.  I pick what to make based on whatever I have in the fridge. This morning I made vanilla french toast with strawberries.  Some of my other favorite brunch-at-home suggestions, that you would easily pay ten bucks for out at a restaurant, are:  almond crusted french toast with raspberry sauce, made dredging your french toast in an egg wash and then in sliced almonds, and throwing some fresh or frozen berries in a blender with a tiny amount of water and sugar to make a topping; Stuffed french toast with cream cheese, powdered sugar and almond extract layered between two sliced of french toast and covered with berries; heuvos rancheros, ground chorizo sauteed with hash browns and onions (from your freezer or fresh) and topped with a fried egg, some salsa verde, and sour cream; Or a savory breakfast scramble with sweet potato pieces, scallions, egg, and bacon or sausage crumbles.  It will cost you much less to make any of these delights at home, and bonus...you can even stay in your PJs!
