Insta Worthy Birthday Brunch Spread
The past year I’ve really struggled not being able to host in my current apartment, hosting brings me so much joy. For anyone who also relate to being the ‘Monica of the friend group’, you get it. And for any who are lost, watch the “The One with Rachel’s Crush” episode of FRIENDS.
One of my favorite things to do with people is cook meals and eat them together. Its so much more meaningful than going to a restaurant or bar, and it has much more potential to be healthy if its homemade!
For my mom’s birthday this year, I planned a safe Insta Worthy Birthday Brunch that we were able to enjoy with loved ones. The food was delicious, and everything looked on point. Here’s how to create one for yourself -
Something Easy: Greek Yogurt Parfait Cups
My summer breakfasts have consisted of Greek yogurt, an assortment of berries, homemade granola, and chia seeds. These adorable mini parfait cups were a cuter, ready to grab version, of what I enjoy myself every day!
Something Boozy: Grapefruit Mimosas
Brunch without mimosas? Next question. My cocktail game isn’t the best, so we had Prosecco and Grapefruit juice mimosas. The décor was gold, sparkly, and mimosa brunch themed!
Something Healthy: Fruit Skewers
These fruit skewers were tasty, healthy, and so easy to make! I even started getting inspiration for next year’s 4th of July while making them LOL.
Something Substantial: Breakfast Board
Expanding my cheese board creation passion to more! This breakfast board was my favorite part of the brunch because it featured these bomb Sweet Potato Waffles and because brunch is my favorite meal. It had ALL. THE. GOODS.
Something Hydrating: Strawberry Mint Water
Part of coming home to Sacramento means enduring the painful heat which meant that a large, refreshing container of flavored water was a must!
Something Aesthetic: Decorations
Arguably the most important part because clearly, cameras eat first! Since the menu for this brunch was pretty full, I decided to keep the decorations simple – gold sign, sparkly backdrop, and letter-board.
