<p>^^^^^Awwwww!!!</p>
<p>Here is something yummy from Mitt Romney’s wife Ann:</p>
<p>[Ann</a> Romney?s Welsh Cakes - By Nancy French - The Home Front - National Review Online](<a href=“http://www.nationalreview.com/home-front/284150/ann-romney-s-welsh-cakes/nancy-french]Ann”>http://www.nationalreview.com/home-front/284150/ann-romney-s-welsh-cakes/nancy-french)</p>
<p>Another breakfast sweet option, which some might think pedestrian, is the simple coffee cake recipe on the Bisquick box. Divine comfort food and super fast.</p>
<p>Big strada fans here…eggs, savory and hot sausage( jimmy dean ) bag of Frozen peppers and onions,cheddar cheese, and use english muffins as bottom…delicious</p>
<p>Christmas breakfast is a huge big deal at our house (we go out for Chinese food for dinner if we feel like eating again). The menu usually includes omelets, fresh-squeezed OJ, croissants (sometimes homemade), sausage, bacon (lots and lots of bacon), French toast, maple syrup from Maine (grade B maple syrup has way more flavor, it’s just not as pretty). We nibble while opening presents, then eat the rest of the food as a jointly-cooked meal and social occasion. </p>
<p>I like the recipe for the Cinnamon French toast casserole… I might put that on the menu this year.</p>
<p>This thread is very helpful-
I am going to be staying at my D1 place for Christmas ( her younger sister is house/dog sitting- D1 will be out of town) & I have little idea how well stocked her cookware will be but she is close to several grocery stores so I expect a big trip.</p>
<p>We don’t usually have a big breakfast but since I am not going to be making a big turkey dinner in someone else’s kitchen I am making notes.</p>
<p>We have a Christmas morning brunch every year with a standard menu…Egg/Sausage casserole/strata (we call it Egg Pie!) w/salsa on the side (always a big hit–one year I forgot to put it out and the crowd protested strongly!), fresh croissants, strawberry bread, fruit salad (our fave is canned peaches and pears with fresh blueberries) along with various juices and coffee. I always put out a plate of Christmas cookies, all of which are happily consumed! Grown-ups linger over a second cup of coffee, kids are off to play with their toys–a good time!</p>
<p>We also usually have an egg/sausage dish, but my daughter has complained for years, as she hates eggs. So this year I am either going to make an overnight baked banana french toast (it is yummy with sliced bananas and chocolate chips) or my marmalade stuffed french toast. </p>
<p>Although it is going to be a very strange Christmas morning this year, as my husband is working at the church in the morning, so we won’t have much family time. It will probably be more like a true brunch.</p>
<p>I’m making a Hawaii-themed breakfast this year: scrambled eggs (for protein), Greek yogurt with honey we brought from HI, macadamia-nut pancakes (got the mix from TJ’s), tropical fruit, Kona coffee, POG. :)</p>
<p>We’ve always alternated between simple breakfasts and fancier things, depending on whether or not my mom was with us. (Everything had to be a Martha Stewart production when she was around, right down to the floral centerpiece that she made herself.) I’m going to make a pumpkin bread pudding that I served as a dessert last Thanksgiving (probably without the caramel sauce :(), fruit salad and maybe some fake sausage.</p>
<p>Years ago, Marlborough cigarettes had a magazine insert with a bunch of “chuck wagon” recipes. My dad tried the receipe for huevos rancheros (avocados and spicy sauce over eggs on fried tortillas) and it was excellent! So we have that every year on Christmas morning.</p>
<p>Love this thread.</p>
<p>It seems this year everyone but DH is eating low carb. Anyone have a good low carb strata type recipe?</p>
<p>I can’t stop looking at the Pioneer Woman French Toast recipe. It’s getting made for one of the days this weekend!</p>
<p>For Christmas Breakfast we have cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, blueberry muffins, scrambled eggs, bacon, coffee and some variation of a champagne mimosa (either with orange juice, cranberry juice or whatever juice is in at the moment).</p>
<p>Strawberry bread sounds wonderful—don’t think I’ve ever had it. Masslou, would you share your recipe?</p>
<p>I do buttermilk pancakes and sausage and eggs over easy and a big fruit tray from the grocery store and mimosas.</p>
<p>MaineL - huevos rancheros is my h favorite bkft/lunch/dinner - would love to have your recipe.</p>
<p>This year it will be a hearty Quebecois meal, apres gift opening: Tourtiere (a savory meat pie), fruit salad w/mint creme anglais sause, and gooey cinnamon buns.</p>
<p>Egg strata thing–made with croutons, cheese, bacon. Potato latkes. Cocktail shrimp. Fruit compote, yet to be determined. Sweet rolls with chocolate/orange filling. Ham.
Gingered asparagus-maybe; I’m the only one who eats these.</p>
<p>We graze all day long. This is the only food we have. No big dinner.</p>
<p>pathways, your recipe for tourtiere, s’il vous plait?</p>
<p>Low carb egg strata.<br>
Keep in mind that this is not low fat. Also, I never measure anything, so it’s all approximate, but always seems to turn out well.</p>
<p>Layer 6oz of mild cheddar and 6 oz sharp cheddar cheese slices in the bottom of a 9"X13" pan.</p>
<p>Spread 4 oz canned chilis on top of cheeses.</p>
<p>Beat together 12 eggs with 1 pint sour cream, 1 tsp. salt. </p>
<p>Pour egg mixture over cheese and chilis.</p>
<p>Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.</p>
<p>May be frozen.</p>
