Mother's Day Brunch

My mom, sisters & I were treated to a delicious Mother's day brunch yesterday courtesy of our beloved Uncle Manuel.

The table was set adorably. The menu was an array of savory goodies. Crispy chilaquiles with perfectly seasoned scrambled eggs (thanks Danny!) smothered in a tasty tomatillo sauce & topped with crema fresca and queso cotija, velvety refried beans, crispy bacon & polish sausage. For dessert, courtesy of Will, we had a delightfully moist applesauce cake, a zesty refreshing orange cake that made me feel as if I were biting right into a juicy sun kissed orange and farm fresh strawberries straight from the farmer's market. Ooh the icing on the cake was too die for! And my hubby brought the kiddos muffins (bless his heart), it was a group effort;)

We had brunch at my sister & brother in laws house. Their backyard is easily one of my favorite places, they have a vast & beautiful assortment of flowers (including plumeria and chocolate orchids that really smell like chocolate!) and fruit trees. Heavenly!

It was great to spend time with the family. The Mom's were spoiled, wonderful food & roses from Danny. What else could we ask for? I love my family!
