By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
You may be planning a special occasion brunch or just a lazy, sleep-in-late weekend brunch for the family.
These labor-saving recipes are a little different and a lot delicious.
One of my favorites is the banana walnut bread. We like it warm, sliced and spread with cream cheese.
I hope you’ll try all or some of these.
