    Stratas are kind of having their moment in the SOC Kitchen. We have been whipping them up on the regular because they are a favorite with ALL members of the Compston household (win number 1), are ridiculously easy to throw together (win number 2), and are completely customizable (win number 3). That our friends, is what we call a triple threat in the kitchen! Today, we're throwing together a colorful mix that makes the perfect Saturday brunch or Easter buffet staple: Springtime Strata! We hope you'll enjoy it as much as our family does.
