Are you looking for a brunch menu to make ahead for spring holiday events? We are actually having our Easter brunch on Saturday. Our kids have to fly back home on Sunday and we want to really enjoy the day.

These brunch recipes were specifically chosen because you can make most of them ahead of time! Spring is a time of awakening and this menu also has some fresh and reviving flavors.
