If you want four different kinds of muffins and an assortment of sushi for your morning repast, you should probably book reservations at a good restaurant. If you’d rather stay comfy and warm in your own kitchen, then don’t attempt culinary gymnastics: think simple and satisfying. As always, the most important part of the experience is that you’re sharing it with someone you love – and that, not the food, is what you’ll both remember!

We’ve assembled a few recipes that are perfect for waking up your favorite sleepyhead, so mix up a mimosa and enjoy!

Fresh Fruit
1. Seasonal Fruit Medley w/ Lime & Mint
Fresh fruit doesn’t need a lot of dressing up; toss together a blend of your favorites – we’re enjoying strawberries, blackberries & mango – squeeze the juice of one lime over the top and sprinkle with sugar and freshly chopped mint. Freshly whipped cream is optional.

Smoked Salmon
2. Smoked Salmon Platter
Smoked salmon adds an extravagant touch: pick out the best quality fish you can find, arrange it on a platter with capers and finely chopped onions. Squeeze a lemon over the top. Sprinkle with freshly cracked pepper and salt. Serve alone or with crisp buttered toast.

Mimosa
The classic brunch drink of choice, mimosa’s are everyone’s favorite – we like to add a raspberry to the glass for extra color and a little kick! If you’re feeling extra experimental, use peach nectar instead of orange juice.
