Come Party With Me: New Year's Day Brunch — Drinks
After a long night of New Year's Eve parties, there is only one thing that will make guests feel better: Bloody Marys. Nothing beats the classic hangover drink's power to make a headache disappear. If there is leftover champagne, mix it with orange juice for mimosas.
Come Party With Me: New Year's Day Brunch — Menu (Savory)
This year, instead of planning a blowout bash for New Year's Eve, invite everyone over for a New Year's Day brunch. With all of the hustle and bustle from the holidays there was no time to make beautiful invitations! Luckily, we can download, print, and fill out our fabulous New Year's party invite.
Come Party With Me: New Year's Day Brunch — Menu (Sweet)
When planning a New Year's Day brunch, don't forget to include sweet dishes on the menu. At first I thought French toast would be a bad idea — individual pieces of toast can be too much work — but than I remembered it can be baked! A lemon raspberry French toast strata puffs up into a delicious dessert-like dish.

Noteworthy Nibbles — Oct. 27-Nov. 3, 2009
With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, everyone's in for a fun-filled week. Although every major city's likely to have some sort of costume-heavy celebration this weekend, leave some time (and belly room) for some serious food events. New Yorkers have their annual Chocolate Show, Bostonians can veg out on eco-friendly fare, and San Franciscans will discuss and sample the best of the city's street food.
Indulge One Last Time With Honey Sticky Buns
The holidays are a time for serious indulgence, and I like to end my indulgence on a sweet note before I worry about all those pesky New Year's resolutions. If you're hosting a happy New Year brunch or just want to have a few friends over for breakfast, bake up a batch of these honey-drizzled sticky buns. Made with cool-rise dough filled with brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and pecans, these sweet treats will decadently conclude your holiday celebrations and start 2009 on a high note.

Healthy Start to 2009: Hash Brown Strata
Since having kids, my New Year's Eve celebrations have become considerably toned down. Although I do manage to stay up until midnight. Instead of partying all night, I host a New Year's Day brunch followed by a hike.
A Vegetable by Another Name
My brother enjoyed Spiderman pancakes and Superman eggs when we went out to brunch growing up. I've heard of parents telling their tots that broccoli florets are lil trees and carrots are the Easter bunny's candy, but have never called them by another name to my own kids. The results of a Cornell study may have you calling cucumbers "flying torpedoes" and spinach gratin "brilliant brain-food."
Do You Like Runny Eggs?
On New Year's Day, out at brunch, I ordered poached eggs — extra runny. My friend asked for fried eggs, over hard. They messed up our orders: I got the hard eggs and he got the runny eggs.
