    I don't know. Just depends.

    I'm trying to find a good breakfast casserole recipe. I usually make quiche but nobody loves it as much as I do so I want to try something different. I will make (Cinnabon recipe) cinnamon rolls and have juice and espresso. I try to keep it pretty simple on Xmas day.

    I think for Xmas eve we will have some sort of beef stroganoff or maybe beef with Guinness stew over garlic smashed potatoes with butterflake rolls.

    I'm hungry.

    6 large eggs
    1 cup whole milk
    1 1/2 cups biscuit mix
    1/2 pound cooked, crumbled sausage
    2 cups grated Cheddar cheese

    Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, break eggs and add milk. Blend well. Add remaining ingredients, mix and pour into a greased 9" × 13" pan. Bake about 40 minutes (or until eggs are set).


    With that kind of cholesterol, you know everybody will love it. Have a defibrillator handy. Some of us like salsa on top.

    Christmas Eve I always cook a goose with all the trimmings.

    I'm weird about eggs. I am not really crazy about them. I think the cream in the quiche made the eggs less "eggy". ;-)

    We're going to DH's Grandfather's for Christmas dinner. Every year there is a "fight" over the menu. Grandpa would be happy with ham, every year, maybe a turkey to mix things up. But he's not the cook. The other family members like to mix it up more so they have also had lasagna and pork roast. This year, most of the fight was about whose house it would be at, and I don't know about the food. Unfortunately, 3 years ago, DH's cousin was killed shortly before Christmas in an avalanche and her parents have had a hard time during the holidays and didn't want to do the "traditional Christmas at Grandpa's." Grandpa thinks every year will be his last, at this point, and wants to do the "traditional Christmas at Grandpa's."

    [spellcheck just dinged fritattas and told me it should be "irritates"]

    My family loves eggs so at least someone will eat it if it's too much for me. I guess I could make a frittata and a quiche but I'd rather just make one thing.

    It's just flour tortillas, I use Las Palmas enchilada sauce, cheddar and monterey jack cheese, sauted yellow onion and black olives. Squish it all together and bake.
