At first I thought we were bonkers for throwing a New Year’s Brunch with only a day of prep, but it turned out to be a good idea – forced us to clean house! Not that I’ve unpacked, mind you…

…stopped by Veggie Grill for a free birthday meal (<—which you can get by joining their GrillClub online)…

…my standard non-menu item. Stretched it into two meals by adding the dressing to some frozen spinach.

Sharing is caring…

…I even took less “chicken!”

As the sun went down, we stopped by Griffith Park for one last sunset…


…one of the reasons I love living in Los Angeles.

More brunch baking! Some ready-made Chocolate Chip Cookies with Peppermint…

…and a Cranberry Bread Mix that I added dried figs to.

Taste tested…

…along with some PB M&M’s…

…and two Clementines.

We were reading in bed at midnight – a very mellow end to a crazy year.

Entertaining is totally the best as your house is always spotless after (well, aside for the party cleanup!). I think I need to plan a New Year’s brunch for next year! Happy New Year
