Wedding Shower Brunch, Part 3

When we last left off I was sharing the breakfast recipes I made as part of my friend Lauren’s bridal brunch.  In addition the quiche, muffins, and pumpkin bread, I also had a few lunch items as part of the spread. Namely, gazpacho pasta salad (which you will remember from last April’s Foxfield Races tailgate) and ham rolls.

The ham rolls recipe is a tried and true family favorite. My mom used to make them for parties when I was growing up and I have made them many times myself—for book club, for New Years Eve, for the Super Bowl, for lunch before Thanksgiving dinner, and now for a wedding shower. They are easy and always a crowd-pleaser.  They never last long and Lauren’s shower was no exception---much to poor Jason’s disappointment.
