Besties Who Brunch

Everyone loves a good brunch, and it’s even better with your favorite girlfriends, so here are some suggestions for hosting a brunch with wines, lattes, sweet treats, and holiday platters in the comfort of your home. Holiday brunch is the time for bonding and enjoying solo time with friends to catch up on life and the daily wonders of living

This holiday season, create your brunch platters filled with cheese, fresh fruits, and an assortment of crackers with SEASON products. Host your close friends with SEASON‘s recipes with mackerel, and sardines, and adding some freshly sliced and toasted baguettes, sweets, crackers olives, and cheese will round out the holiday food platters. 

SEASON | Sardines and Grilled Mackerel, $10-20

For your next brunch experience, indulge in SEASON’s fish selections of sardines and grilled mackerel which can be arranged on the board and placed in small plates and bowls. In addition, tin fish selections can be arranged with fruits, cheese, olives, an assortment of crackers, and freshly sliced baguettes. Grilled mackerel tastes fresh because it is placed in olive oil. It has a rich, distinct flavor and the flesh is moist, flaky, slightly sweet, salty, and oily with complementing toasted baguettes. As well, sardines are mild and their meaty texture is less polarizing than, say, the salty tinned anchovy. These two fish options provide a lively contrast of flavors.

Whitehaven Wines |  Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc, $21.99

 Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc has a bright character and crisp finish and pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. A chilled glass of Whitehaven is particularly refreshing alongside fresh seafood, spicy Asian dishes, and grilled chicken. Sauvignon Blanc is from Marlborough, a region of New Zealand. It’s fresh and aromatic, with lemon verbena and lemongrass flavors and a touch of salted lime, fresh-grated ginger, pear and yuzu notes.

Candy Swag | Candy and Snacks Assortment, $25-100

Candy Swag is sugar galore and sweetness filled in every piece, and comes packaged in an aesthetically pleasing signature black and pink box. Candy Swag is a customizable box for any occasion, and offers all your choices for different types of sweet treats. Candy Swag sates sugar cravings at any party or on a dining platter.

Scoozee | Set of 4 Glass Bamboo Cups and Straws w/ Cork Coaster, $16.95

At brunch, drink your lattes and/or coffee in the Scoozee glass cup. Scoozee comes with a bamboo top, glass straw, straw cleaner, and cork coaster. This was my favorite addition to my latte routine – it’s so amazing because it is beautifully crafted, easy to drink out of with a glass straw, and you can imbue your latte mixture with espresso, ice, and your choice of oat milk or almond milk. 

Nook Theory 4-Pack Bamboo Fiber Dinner Plates | Bamboo Plates, carnival, $16.95

Brunch is more playful with these orange checkered plates by Nook Theory. They will add color to your brunch table and are great for appetizers and sweet treats. Nook Theory’s plates were created out of bamboo fiber reusable plates and they are scratch-proof.
