I think that brunch is the new dinner. At least for people with kids. Anyone else notice that? The dinner invites have stopped and we do a lot of morning gatherings with friends. But I’m not sad about it.

But brunch can also be tricky because of the timing of the different dishes, and you have to plan ahead a little more (because no one is getting up at 5am to cook for friends).
To help keep brunch fun, casual and 100% delicious, here are some great tips, brought to you by Simple Mills.

At least, I hope it is.

Many of my friends don’t cook, because they don’t want the hassle of cooking for one. They think it’s too much effort, or that they’re not worth the energy. “If I had someone ELSE to cook for, it would make it worth it.” [Thumbnail Photo Source]
I know I share the sentiment of the entire country when I squeal with delight over spring’s arrival. Green leaves. Rising temps. Baseball. Swoon… It seems that spring brings with it the desire to clean (or at least have someone clean FOR you, am I right?). This year, add your fridge to the list!
