My friend Summer is moving to New York City next week, so I thought it only fitting to throw her a southern-style brunch before she heads north, featuring all her favorite southern foods. With the help of my lovely co-hosts, Jessi and Chad, the brunch was a success, and we all ate until we nearly burst.
The Menu:
Shrimp & Grits
Bite-sized Chicken & Waffles
BBQ Pork Sliders
Berries & Cream
Summer’s Deviled Eggs
Pimento Cheese
Banana Bread Sandwiches with Cream Cheese & Strawberries (my fave!)
Fried Squash
Bacon
Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread muffins
Buttermilk Biscuits
Whiskey Peach Tea
Rosemary-infused Lemonade
And my friend/famed pie maker Autumn of Avant Tarte brought pecan and triple berry pies that were the perfect finishing touch! You can try her pies for yourself at Big Orange (you’ll be glad you did!).
Oh, and here’s the invitation I made:
Wow! The menu sounds so tasty! And everything looks perfect. I’m gonna miss that Summer Daniel. xo.
Rmary! This looks absolutely wonderful! Congrats on being such a wonderful hostess!
mini waffles? i die.
Thanks everyone! Corrie, the mini waffles are just Eggo miniatures from the frozen food section – topped with a Chick-fil-A nugget and drizzled with syrup. Genius, no?
Possibly the cutest invitation/party idea ever. I’m stealing all of this. And I love your mini shrimp and grits!
This looks amazing! Great idea, Rosemary!
