*Originally published on January 10, 2019:
We love grabbing a Bloody Mary or a donut just as much as the next brunch-goer, but some mornings we're just too tired to wait. Not to mention, going for brunch every weekend can put a sizable dent in your paycheck. But that doesn't mean you have to skip brunch altogether—no, we wouldn't dare suggest such a thing!
Instead, consider having a few friends over for a brunch potluck, or try any of these delicious recipes at home with your family.
