  • Hello everyone! In this episode I'm sharing with you my tips and recipes for an elegant late-winter brunch party. All of the recipes can be made ahead of time! xKevin
    *Stainless Steel Coil Whisk: amzn.to/3k6MwWe
    Ina Garten's Blood Mary recipe: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/i...
    Baked Oatmeal recipe: www.agardenforthehouse.com/ba...
    Egg and Sausage Gratin
    12 large eggs
    1/2 cup (118ml) cream or half-and-half
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    2 cups (240g) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (plus extra for sprinkling)
    20 ounces (566g) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess moisture
    1 1/4Lbs (544g) cooked, crumbled sausage
    6 slices bacon, cooked and cut into 1-inch pieces
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 2 1/2 quart (or 9x9-inch) baking dish.
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Then stir in the cheese, spinach, and crumbled sausage. Pour into the prepared baking dish, and top with the bacon and a light dusting of cheese. Bake until set -- usually 35 to 45 minutes.

    I am an older , single person living alone. All the recipes have helped me to take an interest in my health. It’s hard when one lived alone to be interested in cooking. Thanks for helping me tackle this.
    I have learned many new things about gardening, etc.
    Thanks for everything.
    You asked about markets. I live near Orillia, Ontario Canada. I enjoy getting fresh food and flowers. I am so lucky to live here and to have found you Mr. Jacobs on UA-cam.
    God bless you.

    🌄 Good morning Kevin- Always a pleasure to watch you whip up a brunch. Crisp New Hampshire morning here.
    I am calling this ☕ coffee with Kevin. Currently reading The SWEETNESS of the BOTTOM of the PIE by Alan Bradley, who wrote his first mystery series when he was 70. It is set in an English village in 1950. I mention this, not only to say the novel is excellent, but to talk about 1950, my birth year. Reading Bradley's story reminded me of how different life was 73 year's ago, minus all the technology clutter and loss of the genteel side of life. Life was straight forward and full of exquisite details, showcasing the art of the household, cooking foods with friends & family. Zen & the Art of Adding a Touch of Elegance to One's Routine.
    I buy those gorgeous croissants at Cosco. They are flaky and buttery and freeze well. That 🍓 strawberry butter looks wonderful! Make no mistake, we are working farmers. There is that side to our existence, but still room for 🍐🍇🍐🍴🍸🍸 🍴 good china and a glass of wine. Thanks for sharing this beautiful brunch! ~ Diane

I was horrified by how much you're paying for croissants. They're no where near that price in the UK. But they did look delicious. Thank you for posting, your vids always leave me feeling so relaxed.

    Trying this out when my grandchildren visit next weekend. The dessert trolley will be a favourite for them, and their parents will appreciate the Bloody Marys and casserole. Will work really well as they are visiting in time for Brunch and I even have an extensive collection of the Liberty Blue crockery, inherited from my late parents but in immaculate condition. Thank you so much for the inspiration xx

    My sister and I used to go to Empire casino in Yonkers NY a few Sunday mornings every month. We would start with a Bloody Mary before our slots play. They used Ocean Spray tomato juice and it made the best Bloody Mary I ever tasted. You can’t get it in the store but it was so delicious. We would only spend an hour play a hundred dollars and we usually won. Then it was off to brunch at one of our favorite restaurants
