Welcome back to Part II of my Reusing Your Produce series! The last article shared tips on how to use Imperfect produce to decorate a table.

To show you how easy it can be to reuse produce for your breakfast spread, I am sharing a mimosa recipe. If you are wondering what to pair with your mimosa, I’ve got you covered. Keep reading!
