0:01 MARIEVE HERINGTON: Hi, I'm Marieve Herington with Expert Village. And today, we're planning
0:04 a Sunday brunch. So, the thing with brunch is, is you have so many options as what you
0:12 could do. You could do something savory. You could do something sweet. You could do something
0:15 egg-based, like a frittata, or traditional, which is what I feel like doing today. I was
0:21 thinking pancakes or I could do waffles, crepe. But one thing I haven't had in a long time,
0:29 some french toast. So we're going to start with some french toast. On the side, I was
0:34 thinking, everybody always has bacon, right? It's a special occasion kind of brunch food.
0:39 But, when I make it, I find it half of the bacon grease ends up on my face, which is
0:45 really lovely as I'm bringing the guests into the house. So I will show you a really easy
0:50 way to do it in the oven, so that it doesn't splatter up on you, and also it's going to
0:55 be nice and hot when your guests arrived and you're not messing around with the pots and
1:01 pans as they come in the door. And then, I was thinking as a side bread, I would do the
1:06 traditional banana muffins. I've got some bananas that are just about ready to be used
1:13 for that. They're a little bit riper than I would eat them normally, so it's perfect
1:18 to use them that way. And as a drink of course, you could do a cocktail, first thing in the
1:25 morning. It is a party, so you could have a cocktail I suppose. But I prefer not myself.
1:32 And so, I'm going to make a smoothie. And the smoothie's going to be great because,
1:37 depending on what time you might host your brunch, your guest may eat breakfast real
1:43 early and they're not that hungry by the time they come or people might just not eat at
1:48 all in the morning and are ravenous by the time they arrived. So, at least the blueberry
1:53 smoothie won't fill them up too much, 'cause I'll keep it nice and light with the ingredients,
1:58 but it'll sort of take the edge off, so they're not, you know, dying. So that's it. We're
2:03 going to do the French toast, the bacon, the smoothie and the banana bread. So let's get
2:08 started.
