The consolation prize for my boot camp wake up alarm at 4:45 am is that I get to fuel up with a bowl of nourishing, loaded oats. Admittedly, 99 percent of the time, I am too fuzzy-headed and time-strapped to make said bowl of fabulous oats before the sun even rises. That’s why I love to meal prep overnight oats to get a jump start on breakfast.Raspberry Beet Overnight Oats

Oh, I’ve held a holiday brunch or two in my day . . . in fact, it’s what I bring to the collective family celebrating. My parents host a big Christmas eve dinner, and then on Christmas morning, everyone wakes up, checks out what Santa left in the stockings and then heads to my house for more season’s feasting!  My Favorite Holiday Brunch Ideas (mostly make-ahead!)

I’m not a graceful waker-upper, and on Christmas morn have historically had to manage the chaos and excitement from my little elves  – who are now older and would quite likely sleep through stockings and brunch if you let them, oof! However, despite the luxury of sleeping in a bit, I still like to prep as many of the menu items a day or two ahead. This way, I’m not running around like the Grinch on the most wonderful day of the year. I’m sharing some of my most requested Christmas brunch and holiday breakfast ideas, many of which can be meal-prepped and kept in the fridge or freezer for no-stress holiday entertaining.  Continue reading →
