Welcome to On Sundays We Brunch Series Eleven! I’m hoping this will be a time for us to talk about life like we’re really sitting together over brunch and share favorites…articles, recipes, products, books, inspiration, whatever it may be!
Brunch is my favorite because the spirit is light, you have the whole day ahead of you afterwards, and all food is fair game and it often involves champagne. Urban Dictionary defines brunchin’ as “Midday lunchin’ acting a fool in the mid-morning to lunch time”. Could there be a more fitting description?
Grab a mimosa, pull up a chair and let’s chat! Oh, and if anyone wants to act a fool, I’m game.
I got a chance this weekend to stop and see my super-talented friend, McKenna, who is a candle-pouring connoisseur and has a great eye for farmhouse everything. I bought her newest candle and got to see her uber-organized candle studio! Check out her website, Neat and Navy Blue!

THE BEST THING I ATE ALL WEEK:
This incredibly unattractive photo that I barely remembered to take (the actual pizza slice was beautiful until I fouled it up) is actually one of the best slices of pizza I’ve ever had! There’s a New York-style pizzeria in Des Moines that serves pizza by the slice; I always overlooked this white pizza…until this week. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered it and…WOW. Olive oil, garlic, mozzarella and creamy ricotta combined into something incredible. I’m craving it right now.

- Tahini Caesar Salad with Olive Oil Breadcrumbs
- Milk Chocolate Chip Cake
- Biang Biang Noodles
- Everything Bagel Pull Apart Bread
