While I’m so sad to see #BrunchWeek end, I am excited to share my favorite recipe of this year’s #BrunchWeek with you. I have a recipe that I have been obsessing over for some time. I first saw the Barefoot Contessa make these baked blintzes on a show of hers eons ago and it was filed in that “I’ll get to it” memory bank where I have a slew of recipes mentally bookmarked. However when BrunchWeek comes around, I always want a showstopper recipe or two like my Chile Relleno Quiche, Croque Madame Muffins, Mexican Chocolate French Toast with Spiced Blackberry Syrup, or my favorite Cheesy Breakfast Burgers. This recipe is definitely a weekend brunch showstopper. These Lemon Blintzes with Summer Berry Compote are so easy to make but will have your family and friends swooning at first bite….

One of my favorite recipes to make is a quick bread. No fuss, a few ingredients and in a little while you have a delicious bread to enjoy with coffee or on its own. Whether it’s my Mexican Chocolate Loaf Cake, my Blueberries and Cream Quick Bread or even my Harvest Bread, quick breads are always a delicious brunch recipe. However, the perfect Lemon Loaf has always escaped me me. I often go to that coffee shop that we all frequent from time to time and they have this iced lemon loaf that tastes heavenly. Well – no more because I finally found the best lemon quick bread recipe – this Meyer Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf with Lemon Vanilla Glaze. It is packed with lemony flavor, is moist yet a bit dense, and drizzled with a sweetly tart glaze….

I am so excited that we are kicking off #BrunchWeek today. It is one of my favorite community blogger events and this is my 4th year getting a chance to play with some of my favorite food bloggers. Who doesn’t love brunch, right? This year’s #BrunchWeek has some new sponsors including Michigan Asparagus. So, to kick it off, I knew I wanted to incorporate some delicious spring asparagus in my recipe. To go with, I wanted to also make sure to add a bit of cheese (my fridge is packed with Cabot cheese for days – I love using it in recipes). I was marinating on ideas for brunch that I haven’t tried here before and I have been obsessed with the flavors of spinach and artichoke lately. I thought – what if we take that combo and add some crisp spring asparagus and sharp cheddar cheese and bake it in a perfect breakfast casserole. A few tinkerings with this recipe and this Spinach Artichoke and Asparagus Strata is ready for the #BrunchWeek brunch table. …
