Sunday Morning Breakfasts: Occasions to Rejoice

It's important to establish traditions since they add to the enjoyment and spice of life.

A fairly new tradition around here is serving special Sunday morning breakfasts to a couple of very dear family members. Because they both work full time jobs, it's impossible to get together during the week. But come Sunday morning, they are willing and able to join our family for breakfast.

It's fun to think of different menus as well as table settings. I love to make everything look lovely, right down to colorful, different designed napkins and matching floral arrangements.  Some weeks it's kept fairly simple; other weeks crystal glasses and more elegant serving dishes are pulled out.

 Each week  different patterns of main plates are used for the breakfast since variety adds a little zest!

The menu has been varied, too. Some weeks it might be blueberry pancakes and sausage with real maple syrup. Other weeks, mushroom/tomato/cheese/and onion omelets with crisp bacon and toasted wheat toast or homemade corn muffins are on the menu.

Shown here is berry medley, a combination of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, simply sprinkled with a little sugar and served in a pretty glass dish! Simple and sumptuous!

Here's a pretty white tablecloth with blue flowers that decorated the table at a recent breakfast:

It's great to see these family members and make them happy by serving a special breakfast. Sometimes even more people are invited to join us. It's a nice tradition, don't you think?

The weeks I'm unable to host the breakfast, I actually miss it, even though it's a lot of work.
Wish I could invite all my dear blog friends, one by one, to Sunday morning breakfast. Wouldn't that be fun?
