#atozchallenge : B is for Booze and Brunch

Guys!  It's time for Bs and I don't mean bitches!  That was one of my topic choices, but I decided that would be a long post on how woman started being called bitches.

I'm going for Booze and Brunch!!  My friend, Mischa, gave me this topic idea.

With brunch, we think Mimosas!  I love mimosas!  I could drink them all day long and wake up fine the next morning. I got to Pinteresting mimosas, because, why not?  Pinterest even showed me how I could make my own mimosa bar.  Would people come to my house for brunch if I set up a mimosa bar?  I would so have a mimosa party.  Pinterest showed me that it's supposed to be 50% bubbly substance and 50% juice.  I will agree to disagree on that one as I prefer more bubbly than 50% of my drink.  Personal preference though.  The cheaper champagne works better for them.  I like a Brut for mine.  Andres offers a cheap Brut option. 

What are your favorite types of mimosas?  I love the apple cider mimosas and strawberry lemonade mimosas.  Plain old mimosas are super awesome also.  Don't forget the OG.  There is such a myriad of them that I know I am going to find some new ones from the comments.  What's your favorite brunch time drink?

If you want to try my Apple Cider Mimosa, here is the recipe:

Cheap Champagne

Apple Cider

White Sugar and Brown Sugar for the Rim

If you want to add caramel, here is an easy recipe for that.  P.S.  I love Sally's Baking Addiction!  So many top recipes to try.







Now, for brunch foods.....
French Toast is the first thing that comes to my mind.
Wanna hear what my secret ingredient in French Toast is? 
Vanilla.  I add it to caramel sauce also, but that's something entirely different.

French Toast Recipes for the taking:

4 eggs, beaten (a little)

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/8 teaspoon salt

bread (I like Texas Toast, but sandwich bread works the same)

Mix the first five ingredients and let the bread soak in it for about 30 seconds, then toast them on the griddle.

I always top with butter first, powdered sugar second and syrup last.

Try the vanilla in there and let me know if you dig it or not.

Breakfast Casseroles also ring a bell for brunch.
Casseroles to me are something that you can just throw together and it will taste awesome.
So, my simple breakie casserole is: bacon, sausage, eggs, hashbrowns, cheddar cheese and garlic.  Garlic is my all time fav ingredient!  What would you throw in yours?
