Retro Brunch

Retro Brunch:  what was served for brunch in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.  This was the “BH” era–the “Before Health” era.  Family recipes at our house contained gems like Sunshine Coffee Cake, First Communion Five Alive Punch, and the quite simple Egg Brunch.  Check in here from time to time for new recipes to add to your brunch repertoire
