The Lunch Whisperer takes on breakfast

She may be The Lunch Whisperer for the Hormel® Natural Choice® brand, but Kristina Kuzmič and the Sandwich Social Club have plenty of ideas to share for making the most of brunch time with your family. During the first ever Sandwich Social Club Live, she and her friends offered inspiration for approachable brunch dishes. Brunch is a weekend pastime to enjoy a leisurely meal with loved ones, but you are welcome to make these appetizing recipes during the week too. There’s a reason all day breakfast is a thing. No one will argue with irresistible options featuring Hormel® Natural Choice® uncured bacon. These dishes are simple to prepare, taste great any time of day or night, and are sure to win over a range of palates.

  • Kristina is passionate and intentional about making meaningful time with her family, often over food. Whether it’s making an unforgettably flavorful meal for them that didn’t take hours or getting them excited to take part in kitchen preparation, she knows the value of these special moments and the importance of keeping it simple when and where she can. Kristina has countless inspired uses for lunchmeat, for example, and reaches for Hormel® Natural Choice® products to make recipes like these.
