Some say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I disagree. Brunch is the new breakfast. Why have one meal, when you can put breakfast and lunch together and have the two at the same time? Brunch is love. Brunch is life. Sitting down to a nice, big 'ol meal in the mid-morning, having a drink, and relaxing with friends is absolutely the best way to pass the time and fill our stomachs, and here are some reasons why:

1. Brunch gives you an excuse to sleep in.

Knowing that you can have two meals at once when you wake up, sleeping in until a later hour and waking up to have a leisurely brunch at 9, 10, or 11 AM (or maybe even the afternoon!) just feels like the right thing to do.

2. There are endless food possibilities.

It isn't quite breakfast, and it isn't quite lunch either. You get the best of both worlds with brunch. Literally any breakfast or lunch food is up for grabs at this point, and it is all delicious.

3. Dessert. Always.

My favorite part about brunch is that it usually doesn't feel too early too to eat sweets, so I always ask for the extra chocolate drizzle on my pancakes. And I never hold myself back from ordering the cinnamon roll ice cream sandwich at my favorite diner in downtown to finish off my meal.

4. There is usually alcohol.

Self explanatory. But keep them coming, please.

5. Brunch is just more fun.

Why say breakfast and lunch...when you could just say brunch? Why eat breakfast and lunch...when you can just eat brunch? In my opinion, there is no better, more fun, or more fulfilling meal than brunch. Happy eating!
