The holiday season may be over, but that doesn't mean gatherings with loved ones has to be! There's nothing better than having a cozy meal in gathered around a table full of delicious food. Something that my girlfriends and I enjoy in the winter is a hearty homemade brunch. We take turns hosting every few weeks, and everyone brings their favorite dish. Over the years, you may be surprised at what has become my go-to ingredient for brunch dishes: Brussels sprouts. They pair well with both sweet and savory, and the added fiber keeps you satiated throughout the day.
One of my favorite things about brunch is that it's equally acceptable to eat a salad as it is to devour a stack of pancakes. Adding sweet strawberries to a bed of Ocean Mist Farms greens in this Ocean Mist Farms Breakfast Salad makes it feel brunch-y while also giving you a nutritious start to your day (and your New Year!).
Italian Veggie Breakfast Bread
Adding veggies to a sweet breakfast bread may seem a little out there, but trust me, it makes for a delicious and hearty treat. With plenty of fiber from Ocean Mist Farms artichokes, Brussels sprouts, and fennel, you can feel good about starting your day with our Italian Veggie Breakfast Bread. Plus, our Season & Steam products make it that much more quick and easy to prepare.
Is there a better companion to Brussels sprouts than bacon? They really are a match made in heaven! This Shredded Brussels Sprouts skillet has minimal ingredients yet maximum flavor. Serve alongside a quiche for a perfectly balanced brunch!
