Good Morning!
Fall is in the air, and I couldn't be more thrilled! I know that many people would agree that fall is one of the best times during the year. The crisp air, and the changing colors just really make me happiest.
This year is the first year I have a place of my own to decorate, so I am extra excited. I had pumpkins in our house the first day it was even a little bit chilly!
So since I now have a house to host things in, its becoming my favorite season, AND I've been able to decorate for fall, I felt it was appropriate to host a fall themed brunch with my 3 oldest and closest friends!
With us all living in different directions and having separate lives it's been a WHILE since the four of us got together. I'm so happy they all made it out here this weekend. It was a lovely day of laughing, drinking mimosas and casually annoying Scott while he tried to watch football. I'm also glad that I now have the opportunity to host casual events with my friends. It's something I always wanted to do!
So we started our morning with some apple cider mimosas...crucial brunch drink, with an added fall twist. HIGHLY recommend.
This was paired with a yogurt bar! Also, everything on that we ate was gluten free! One of my friends unfortunately is allergic to all things gluten so we figured we would all just cut it out for the brunch.
We also a caprese option, AND the big hit of the day the toasted pine nut and ricotta tartine.
We paired this with an arugula, grape and walnut salad with a honey balsamic dressing, AND some extra bacon!
Last, for dessert we had... you guessed it.... doughnuts!! From my favorite doughnut shop, Broad Street Dough Co. We kept them on theme of course, and there were some additional gluten free doughnuts as they offer gluten free/ vegan doughnuts as well!
Overall the brunch was a success and we all had a great time! I'm happy with the menu I created and got to spend some actual quality time with friends who I once saw everyday. Maybe I'll host a brunch for each season ;)

Then we made an assortment of "tartines" as the main course. We went light because it was just the four of us... and Scott. Had to feed Scott for listening to all the laughter and girly conversation!
So we of course had the fan favorite bacon and avocado.
We also a caprese option, AND the big hit of the day the toasted pine nut and ricotta tartine.
