Sunday Brunch - Blood Orange Mimosas

If you are entertaining houseguests for the weekend, you want to keep the cooking to a minimum.  That doesn't mean starving your guests, it means planning ahead and getting organized

By the time it comes to Sunday morning, I'm pretty exhausted so whatever i am going to serve is going to be pretty simple.  I already impressed them with Saturday's dinner! Combining two meals in one, such as breakfast and lunch is the answer...hello brunch.  Prepare a pot of coffee the night before and leave a box with some cinammon buns or bagels by the pot so your guests can serve themselves when they wake up.   Plan brunch for around 11:00 - 12: 00.  and you are done until dinner, which hopefully, will be a simple BBQ.
