Happy Easter, everyone!!
I know we did BLOG Easter a few weeks ago with this deeeeelish quiche, but today is actual real-life Easter for us, so I couldn’t resist doing it up with another decadent brunch recipe! Sweet, not savory, this time. Because brunch is meant to include eggs AND French toast. Why choose when you can have both? Such is the beauty of brunch!
What do you make for your mom for Mother’s Day brunch when your mom is the biggest chocoholic of all time?
Answer: Enormous chocolate-chocolate chunk muffins. Obviously.
I inherited many things from my mama: a big head of curly hair, a love of crossword puzzles, and a healthy appreciation for some serious trashy reality TV. But maybe the biggest thing I got from my mama? Her major chocolate sweet tooth. (Well, my dad has a giant sweet tooth too, so I was kinda done for at birth on that one, but work with me here.) My mom takes a love of chocolate to the extreme – she has no interest in any desserts that DON’T have chocolate. If there’s chocolate anything on the menu, she’s going to be all about it. Which I love, because I know exactly how to make her happy for virtual Mother’s Day brunch!
Are you finding yourself in the midst of a too-much-leftover-ham problem this Easter Sunday afternoon?
Well, to be clear. Extra ham is not so much a problem, PERSAY, as an opportunity. An opportunity to make as many delicious hammy things as possible in the name of efficiency and non-wastefulness. These few post-Easter days aren’t QUITE as exciting as the post-Thanskgiving turkey-leftovers days, but they are pretty darn close if you ask me.
Question: Will I ever get tired of the combination of bourbon and vanilla bean?
Answer: No. Never. Definitely not. Especially when it’s all wrapped up in a super rich, crispy and creamy French toast that is just begging to be your warm and cozy not-leaving-the-house-or-changing-out-of-these-pjs-all-day Christmas brunch.
