Saturday Morning Brunch - Raspberry Coffee Cake

This morning I had my mother-in-law over for a light brunch and to make handmade cards together. She has recently started using Stampin' Up products and it is fun having her over to show her some new ideas and techniques for making beautiful handmade cards. I wanted to bake this morning but also keep it light so I put together a platter of fresh fruit and made this delicious Raspberry Coffee Cake recipe from the blog Eat Drink Pretty.

We spent about 3 hours making cards and catching up and the coffee cake was a huge hit! I will definitely make this recipe again and experiment with other fruits like blackberries, blueberries, or even peaches... yummy!

Vanilla Spice Oatmeal

I love lazy Saturday mornings where I sleep in till at least 9am, take a long hot shower, and then make a delicious breakfast for myself. 

This morning I made the Vanilla Spice Oatmeal recipe that I had featured in my brunch post a few weeks ago. It was amazing and so healthy! I love it when I have everything in the house to make a recipe and it comes together quick. This recipe only has 255 calories in each serving, which I love for a recipe as filling as this one. Enjoy your (hopefully lazy) Saturday morning and make something healthy for yourself today!

Brunch Recipes - Make it Special!

There is nothing better than an amazing brunch on a lazy Sunday morning. I love the feeling of sleeping in, staying in your pajamas till at least noon, and putting together a delicious brunch menu to savor with my husband. We love sleeping in together on the weekends and plan on savoring this luxury as long as we can before having children. I have found a few new recipes online to try on our brunch menu in the coming months, and I can't wait to taste these!

• Carrot Cake Pancakes with Cream Cheese Drizzle - what could be better than a pancake that tastes like a cupcake?
• Berry Strata - the perfect mix of berries and bread and baked to perfection!
• Vanilla Spice Oatmeal - a new twist on a healthy breakfast and makes great leftovers...

Hope you and your family can savor a lazy Sunday morning with one of these delicious recipes. Enjoy!
