We’ve designed Brunch with a Crunch for everyone wanting to host brunch for family or friends and just need some easy steps to follow.

Inside, you’ll find everything you need to host brunch, including our family granola recipe that is not available anywhere else.

 If you’re a beginner in the kitchen, we’ll show you how to pull together a special occasion brunch from the very start.

And if you already know what to do, but want to show your kids the steps in a clear, simple way, we’ll show you how.

With so many different mini-tasks, you can have 2, 4, 6, even 8, kids join in. 
They could choose their favorite part of the project or let them take on the whole day!

And not every kid has the same likes so we have lots of choices.

How to make your own napkin rings

After offering to host brunch,  I’ve raced to the kitchen . . . 
glanced at the fruit bowl, yanked open cupboards and drawers, and swallowed a hard lump in my throat.

 

I had absolutely no idea where to begin and one week to figure it all out.

and I've wondered how to juggle it all . . .

Kids don’t always want to help in the kitchen.

Instead, they prefer being busy with their hands and feet.

 But what if you want to show them how to host a special party.

And, like learning how to sew on a button, having family or friends over is an important life skill.

Then I figured out how to fix both problems.

Imagine sitting down for brunch with family or friends to the ‘ooh’s and ‘aah’s from your guests.

You’re about to see how easy it is to host brunch in 7 steps.

FAQ's

It takes time to create a special brunch, and when kids get the chance to practice, they gain confidence each time.
As well, each  day takes between 1-2 hours which makes this ideal for home school too.

Great question! This recipe is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
It’s also perfect for anyone looking for a high-fibre, less-processed sugar recipe.

Absolutely! If all you want to do is make the recipe and set the table, then your brunch will still be delicious!

That would be amazing and thank you as I would appreciate anything you share!
