Brunch for the picky. Help.
DH and I are hosting a family brunch for 11. I really try to be careful about what I serve based on who is attending these things, but sometimes it's tough when people are picky.
Suggestions, please!
Here are my restrictions:
DH is lactose intolerant.
MIL is hypoglycemic and doesn't eat chocolate
2 Kids under 12
*And there is no room for interesting or brave foods of any kind. I might be allowed to use fresh pepper, but nary a water chestnut or baby corn. (DH never had chinese food growing up, if this is any indication). He told me "No one will eat quiche." My mom brought a kugel to the last event and I thought my ILs would run screaming for the hills.
So far I've got: fruit salad, muffins or butterscotch scones, possibly ham with pineapple/orange glaze, and red potato homefries.
This is, by the way the exact brunch I made 5 years ago when our families met. So I'm willing to branch out a little.

baked french toast - easy, sweet, etc.
scrambled eggs? or devilled eggs?
eggs?
ziti with sauce?
a simple chicken dish?
Make omelets with what people want? It means one person is cooking while others are eating, but omelets are delicious!
If not, make an egg scramble that can be done ahead of time and baked right before people come over.
Like PGH said - french toast or pancakes/waffles.
What about an assortment of bagels?
Omelets - where people can have what they want on them
crepes - where people can have what they want on them
Waffles
pasta
