“There’s nothing like a grandchild to put a smile on your face, lump in your throat and a warm feeling in your heart.”

Life is short, but Sunday brunch should be long, especially when you have a loving family who enjoy each other’s company. Cecile and I had a delicious Sunday Brunch with Jason, Michelle, Kyle and our Grandkids, Lyla, Emmy and Gus at Karen’s European-Style Bakery & Cafe located near the American River Bike Path. It is known for its cozy atmosphere and delicious baked goods and is a popular spot for breakfast, brunch and coffee.
Kyle had the Grilled Carnitas Burrito filled scrambled eggs, sautéed Red peppers, onions, Oaxaca Cheese, Salsa Verde and Lime Crema with a side of fresh fruit. Jason had the Chilaquiles Verde with House made White Corn Chips tossed in Salsa Verde topped with Oaxaca Cheese, Lime Cream, Pickled red Onions and Cilantro topped with two Sunny-side Eggs. Cecile and I had Avocado Toast, and Michelle ordered a fresh plate of yogurt topped with sliced bananas, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries and sliced almonds and Quiche topped with a dollop of sour cream and a croissant that she shared with the kids. The presentation of the food prepared by the cooks was a work of art and the portions plentiful.
Postscript: The first thing that caught my eye aside from the glass cases filled with delicious looking bakery goods was what appeared to be a framed ornamental needlework called the "Ten Table Manners.” (See photo).
