Fruit Salad

BRUNCH MADE EASY

April 19, 2019 by Sarah Baade Leave a Comment

Hello brunch season! Easter. Mother’s Day. Father’s Day. Bridal showers. Baby showers. Brunch season is most definitely upon us. First and foremost, I love brunch because of the food. You can combine your favorite breakfast items with your favorite sweets and cocktails (or mocktails). But I also love that brunch is such a laid back, relaxing meal to share with loved ones. There is almost an assumption that people will graze on the spread of delightful dishes as they spend quality time catching up with one another. Fellowship.

Let’s spend our brunch season focusing on exactly that, fellowship. I’ve gathered some of my favorite recipes to make meal prep as easy as possible. In fact, the majority of what I’ve selected can be made a day or two in advance. I’d love to hear about your brunch adventures! Feel free to comment below or reach out to me on instagram!

Quiche and potatoes are about as traditional as you can get with brunch. This Broccoli Cheese Quiche with Sweet Potato Hash will help you keep that tradition alive



These Savory Spinach Turnovers look impressive, as if you’d spent all day making them but they’re actually ridiculously easy to make. I like to make them a day ahead and then warm them slightly when I’m ready to serve them.



Vibrant colors and flavors make this Rainbow Fruit Salad a huge crowd pleaser. Berries, peaches, kiwi, etc. How could you resist?


Feel free to customize this Vanilla Almond Granola or keep it as it is. Either way, it would be delicious served over yogurt.



This recipe is the first one I ever posted on my blog, it is also from my grandmother’s recipe box. Aside from being sentimental about these Farm-Style Biscuits, they are a favorite because they don’t require yeast. No yeast means they are super easy to make!



I created a few different mocktails for this post but the Sober Sangria is my absolute favorite. You can mix it up the night before so you’ll be ready to start filling glasses as soon as your guests arrive.
The bright lemon flavor of these Lemon Iced Ginger Cookies will have everyone reaching for more.

Watermelon Salad

August 1, 2018 by Sarah Baade 3 Comments

I keep wondering if I’m getting wimpier with age or if this summer really has been excruciatingly hot. I’m leaning toward the latter but the honest answer is that it’s probably both. I’ve been thinking back on all those summers I spent working at YMCA camps (shout out to Camp Wood and Camp Cosby!) and wondering how I survived living in little cabins with no air conditioning. I’m confident that I survived by being preoccupied with lots of fun activities and friends. I mean, who has time to think about the heat when you’re guiding a group of kids through a mud hike?! Still, we’ve been hitting triple digit temperatures on a daily basis with not much relief in sight. I give a lot of credit to all the summer camp staffers out there who have pushed through this heat to give kids the best week(s) they could imagine.

When it’s this hot outside, I have no interest in turning on the oven. Simple fresh ingredients are the way to go and summer provides such delicious seasonal produce! Naturally, I had to use this to my advantage. My daughter has been on a watermelon kick lately so I opted to use that as my base. I’m all about use what you’ve already got at home when possible. With just five ingredients, the hardest part of this salad will simply be cutting the watermelon. Other than that, this is as easy as a recipe can get. Enjoy!

Tips:                                                                                           

  • Although more expensive, you can certainly buy pre-cut watermelon to make this recipe even easier to make.
  • You can certainly toss the salad together a day ahead. Just be sure to cover and store in the refrigerator and don’t add the salad dressing until you are ready to serve it.
