Saturday Simple Happinesses

This morning, I got together with friends for a potluck brunch. We planned it last weekend and I have been looking forward to seeing them and enjoying all the delicious food all week. As you can see, it was a hodgepodgery of yumminess, with everyone bringing whatever they were craving and/or had the ingredients for in their fridge. My favorite mid-week planning message from a friend: "I will bring chocolate milk! (because I am a child)."  You all know how I feel about chocolate milk, so I was delighted by its appearance at the table. 

1. The whole spread. 

2. My brunch contribution: Strawberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake with Chocolate Chips. This was a new recipe and I really liked the way it turned out, so look for a post with the details this week. The hubs really liked that there were a few extra pieces left over after brunch. He gave it a thumbs up too. 

3. Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake. Yum :)

4. A brunch favorite and staple: cheesy potatoes. 

5. Egg bake filled with veggies, Italian sausage, and cheese. Great flavors. 

Happy Saturday. Hope it's a great one :)
