Brunch with the ladies

This past Sunday I had some of my favourite Ottawa gals over to my place for a special brunch. All but one wasn't aware of my plan of going back to school and thus I prepared a menu to help tell them my plans.

What a great day! I was so happy with how everything turned out. If you know me well enough, you'll know that I love to entertain! So the night before I set my table and found a neat new way to fold my napkins.

The menu was served as follows:

• Homemade hummus with fresh veggies (cucumber, grape tomatoes, celery and carrots)
• Green monsters
• Shots of wild blueberry juice
• Fresh squeezed oranges mixed with sparkling mineral water and sweetened with agave nectar
• Granola over agave sweetened plain organic yogurt with blueberries
• Smoked salmon on brown rice cakes with dill sauce and capers
• Gluten-free pancakes
• Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate and hemp hearts
• Vegan no-bake peanut butter chocolate crispies with PB fudge  

Here are a few pics that I captured of some of the dishes. I have to get better at taking more photos. When I went to find my camera to take these the previous photos on the camera were from over a year ago... terrible, I know!

Suffice to say that everyone went home happy, full and healthy! And in return I got the support of my some of my favourite and closest friends for my new endeavour of becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.

Bonus for all!
