Planning a Brunch

Although preparing a brunch may seem overwhelming - it doesn't have to be. You can keep it as simple as you like.

The key is planning. Some tips are listed below.

Decide who you are inviting. The number of guests and their age and gender all play a factor in what you will choose to serve. Teenagers are far different eaters than ladies over 60.

Pick recipes that have proven to be favorites at your house. You may have a few new recipes you want to try, but when entertaining, a good rule to follow is "use what has worked before."
Don't do it all yourself - choose some food items that can be done ahead of time, some that can be purchased from a favorite deli or bakery, and some that can be pulled from the oven right before serving. This will relieve the last minute stress.
Chart a food prep schedule - when things will be mixed, cooked and baked. You don't want to have conflicting oven times for different recipes. Know how long your recipes take to prepare and set a starting time for each dish.
Will you be setting the table for an elegant brunch with fine china and nice linens? Maybe your brunch will be a buffet that allows your creativity to show. Start viewing your knick-knacks, scarves and colorful mugs as possible table decorations. Wildflowers and flowering bushes often will lend a bit of color for fun! Even flowered flat bed sheets can be used to throw over a pinic table to give just the right touch.
Make sure you have all the serving tools and dishes you need to fit your recipes. Do you need to have some thermal serving bowls to keep dishes warm?
Keep ahead of the clean-up so you won't be spending hours in the kitchen after everyone leaves. There are many pretty disposable plates, cups and napkins available for spring.

One final hint - keep a smile on your face even when the quiche becomes a little brown or the cake falls. Make light of any small bumps in your brunch. If you are happy, your guests will be happy too!
