Winter Brunch

What better way to beat the cold and still enjoy the huge, wet snowflakes than a December morning brunch with friends? Turn on some Christmas music, plug in the lights and start baking.
Here's what was on the menu:

Pumpkin pancakes with maple pecan syrup

Scrambled eggs with herbs, tomatoes and spinach

Cucumber dill salad (recipe below, adapted from Best of Three and Four Ingredients)

Apple cranberry crisp (I loved the cranberries in this recipe from Voila With Emily)

Elma Çay (Turkish apple tea)

Cucumber dill salad
1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
1 medium sweet onion, cut into strips
3/4 T dried dill weed (more if using fresh dill)
4-6 T apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

  1. This all sounds delicious! Have you ever made tzaziki? It's similar to the cucumber dill salad, only with yogurt and shredded cucumber. The apple cider vinegar and sweet oninion are ingredients I'd never thought of though! Will have to try soon.. :)
