Last weekend, Karina planned a lovely Sunday brunch to officially ask myself and six other girls to share in her big day as bridesmaids. I was touched. Karina's best gals all live in NYC but are from all different walks of life so brunch at her apartment was a great way for everyone to get to know each other. Karina is a wonderful cook and prepared a delicious spinach and goat cheese frittata that she served with fruit, bagels, and some great Trader Joe's nibbles. It's hard to believe frozen food can stand up to the real thing, but Trader Joe's mac and cheese balls and mini éclairs were perfect brunch fare. The girls bonded over bridesmaid dresses (which thanks to Karina's keen fashion sense will not look too bridesmaid-y) and bachelorette party plans while sipping mimosas and joining in a rousing game of Taboo.
Moral of the story: I highly recommend frittatas for brunch since it's a "set it and forget it" type dish and can feed a crowd. Then just round out the menu with some of those cheesy mac balls and you're set. Throw Taboo and mimosas into the mix and it turns into a party.
