Power through Holiday Shopping with a Black Friday Brunch

Surviving Black Friday is a challenge when your only fuel is leftover turkey. Hello tryptophan, hello naptime. This year plan a brunch at home that will help you power through your holiday shopping. Below are some recipes that will keep you full, without slowing you down. And, as a bonus, they all pair perfectly with a KORBEL Mimosa.

Goat Cheese, Spinach and Sundried Tomato Quiche

Ingredients:

  • 1 store-bought piecrust
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 packed cups fresh spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, drained and chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Heat olive oil and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach. Cook and stir until wilted. Set aside.

Place the piecrust into a 9-inch pie dish. Using pie weights, pre-bake the piecrust for 8 minutes.

While the piecrust is baking, whisk the eggs and milk together until combined. Stir in the sundried tomatoes, goat cheese and spinach. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

After 8 minutes, remove the piecrust from the oven. Pour in the egg mixture. If desired, sprinkle the top lightly with more salt and pepper.

Bake the quiche until it is golden brown on top, or 45-55 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

DIY Facial

Get glowing holiday skin with a do-it-yourself facial.

Cleanse: Rinse with lukewarm water then wash with cleanser to remove dirt, oil and makeup.

Exfoliate: Improve your skin’s look and feel by applying a scrub in circular motions with light pressure for one to two minutes.

Steam: The easiest way to steam is to bring water to a boil in a large pot, drape a towel over your head, then lean your face over the pot so that it is directly over the steam – Just be sure not to get too close!

Treatment Mask: Apply a mask of your choosing, leave it on for 15-20 minutes, then remove with a warm washcloth and splash skin with cold water.

Moisturize: Pick your favorite oil and cream and massage deeply into the skin for one to two minutes.
