16 Ingredients, Brunch for 8!


With just 16 ingredients you can make a healthy brunch for 8!  Perfect for the holidays!

Grocery List
1 small bottle of olive oil
1 onion
1 dozen eggs
2 10 ounce packages of frozen chopped spinach
1 small bottle of garlic powder
1 small bottle of ground nutmeg
1 bottle of parmesan cheese
4 small oranges
1 small bags of frozen blueberries
1 can of crushed pineapple
1 small bag of sugar
1 stick of butter
1 small bag of brown sugar
1 small bottle of honey
1 bag of raisins
1 10 ounce package of biscuits

THREE DISHES





These bright and cheery fruit cups can easily be varied by filling them with different fruits.  Let your imagination and taste buds guide you.

Makes 8 servings

      small oranges, cut in half crosswise
1      cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (unsweetened)
1      cup canned crushed pineapple (packed in juice), drained
      teaspoon confectioners' sugar

Carefully cut out orange pulp, using a small, sharp knife.  Leave the shells intact. Remove and discard white membranes.  (For a fancy touch, you can scallop the edges of the orange halves with a sharp knife.)

In a small bowl, combine orange sections with blueberries and pineapple. Chill at least 1 hour.  Cover orange shells and chill them separately.

To serve, pile fruit mixture into orange shells.  (If necessary, slice a very thin slice off the bottom of each orange half to keep it from tipping over.)

Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve right away.
