Happy Mother's Day ( a day late)

It was celebrated yesterday, but I was lazy and didnt post this until today - whatever, its the thought that counts right?  I'll keep this short and sweet.



Sunday Jake and I invited our moms up to our place for brunch.  It was great because we FINALLY had finished painting our dining room and moved all the furniture back to its proper place.  It's so nice to have to feel like a room again.

The menu for the morning consisted of;

white peach & nutmeg whole wheat scones (with homemade whipped cream, sadly not pictured)


 fresh fruit salad - it just screamed "SUMMER!"

  I had also made a mixed pepper, fresh herb and Gruyere cheese quiche.  I totally forgot to take a picture of it but it looked great and tasted awesome!


table all set
I really love hosting and having people over.  So I always jump at the chance to cook and have people to my house.  Brunch and breakfast parties are probably my favorite though. 


I will try and be back later to let you know what I've got in store for the week (race week, yikes!).  Talk to you later friends :)

    Brunch was delicious and elegant as is always your way. Using your grandmas china that she gave you made it so special and she was so happy and proud when I told her you were using it. You make me feel so special and loved and of course your cards always make me cry and I save every one of them. Being your mom is a joy and I only wish Sam were closer so we could all partake together! Mumsy
