MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR KITCHEN TO YOURS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR KITCHEN TO YOURS

Call me sentimental, call me silly but I am proud of family traditions and adore recreating warm holiday memories each year. That said, our Christmas Day breakfast has been the same for decades. The beauty of Christmas breakfast is that all of the recipes can be made the day before allowing time for me to sip coffee in my favorite Christmas mug, light the advent candles and enjoy the gift opening festivities. The menu includes Amaretto Fruit, Egg Sausage Casserole and Christmas Coffee Cake. The aroma that dances from the oven always trigger Christmas morning memories. It is a joy to share this recipe so that you can begin your own Christmas Day memories.

This is the week that the countdown begins. You know the drill….Halloween is Saturday. Then we fasten our seat belts and brace for the official beginning of the holiday seasoning. You will blink and friends and family will be gathered around the table enjoying turkey and counting blessings. Blink again and the baking and festivities surrounding Christmas begin. But I digress, let’s start at the beginning. Halloween is Saturday.
No doubt this week is filled with parties at school, scouts and all points in between. [Read more…]

Hmmmm, I know what you’re thinking….this is not a recipe! That is exactly my point! On nights when the family is going in 10 different directions and dinner seems like a fragment of your imagination and you don’t have the energy to do “the gourmet” thing or even the “midwestern dinner” thing have no fear. There is hope on the horizon. The sun always does come out tomorrow. Hang in there. Please, oh please don’t give in to the drive through or pizza delivery. [Read more…]
