Breakfast Casserole
Does anyone have any good breakfast casserole recipes? We are having a potluck breakfast at church on Sunday and I'm looking for ideas. Thanks!
Breakfast Casserole
That sounds yummy! Thanks!
Here's my favorite breakfast casserole
No bread, croutons or crescent rolls --
1 lb of ground sausage with peppers and onions
1 bag of shredded hashbrowns (get the ones with peppers/onions and save yourself some work)
8 eggs beat with 1/4 c of milk, salt & pepper to taste
Layer hashbrowns first. Pour egg mixture over.
Combine 3/4 can of cream of mushroom or chicken soup, 1/4 c of milk, and 4 ounces of sour cream.
Add browned sausage to the above soup mixture and 1/2 c shredded cheese. Layer over eggs & hashbrowns.
Refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Take out and add 1/4 c of shredded cheese and return to oven for an additional 15 minutes.
It's not as complicated as it sounds. My husband and I can whip this up in about 20 minutes. It's better the second day when we just reheat it because it sets up better. You can serve it with salsa if you like. We got this off of allrecipes.com and just tweaked it to our personal likes.
there are two sides
in my opinion, if you wrote him off because of a disagreement about money then YOU were/are wrong. i have basically already asked this and you have yet to respond.... have you ever owned up to your part of what has contributed to this dysfunction? it seems to me, from reading your posts, that you blame EVERYONE but YOURSELF for everything. dad was a deadbeat, son is ungrateful, daughter is spoiled... oh wait... i stand corrected. your hubby is absolutely wonderful.
you also mentioned above that you could not be happier with your life... well that is one very sad sad comment. i have a daughter and a son myself and i can't imagine my life being complete and happy without them in it.
I AGREE WITH BOTH SIDES . . .
I know these kids need attention, there are SO MANY needy kids out there, but you have to PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN. I have been in too many instances where the child manipulates and the parents see no wrong with what they do . . . it has been very hard to explain to my children why these kids are bad news. They can show a good front, get the sympathy and then BAM . . I have also learned from the past 12-1/2 years of being home with my children, that we cannot take care of everyone else's children . . been there done that. It's a sad, sad situation . . . and only getting worse.
2 sides to the story
First of all I think there's another option that neither you or your sister are seeing, home health aide. Look into it re: insurance etc. I can see where both of you are coming from. I don't know your sister's financial situation or how far she has to drive to see your father. I think that she probably feels she is working hard to earn her paid time off but if she has to use it all to take "everybody" to the doctor what will happen if she needs to go to the doctor herself or wants to take time off for a vacation or mental health day. You have to admit she has a point.
My advice would be not to alienate your sister. You are going to have to work together to take care of your father. I would arrange a time for both of you to sit with your father and lay out the facts. With little to no eyesight, he simply cannot live completely independently any longer. If he wants to stay at home then either hire a home health aide or a live-in caregiver or one of you would have to move in with him. Avoid the word nursing home and instead suggest an independent living facility where there is assistance with daily activities such as preparing meals. Be open and honest with each other. You have your own separate lives and not only do you not want your father to feel like he is a burden, you also do not want to feel burdened. With the cost of gas these days, your sister certainly has a valid point. As far as her popping to Wal-Mart and the mall, she could have perfectly viable reasons for going to Wal-Mart including grocery shopping or perhaps purchasing your father's medications there on their $4 plan. The mall may be her escape mechanism.
You both sound stressed out over this situation and you both need to take care of yourselves first and foremost before you can be expected to care for someone else. Good luck to both of you and remember that you both love each other and your father and only want the best for everyone.
There are several sides here, listen!
You had pain - you had suffering - you don't want to be alone. Set some rules, don't have any alcohol in the house at all. If anyone wants to visit at the holidays, they'll have to drink tea or coffee. That's what I do and barely anyone comes. So case closed as far as that goes. No one is saying you're a bad person, what they're saying is don't write your Mom and your Grandmom out of your life because you are punishing yourself. You are in the medical profession or associated with it. You know this goes on all th time in most families that will admit it. The posters who tell you to get over it mean well, they want you to have a family. You set the ground rules. Your OP said you want to forgive but cannot forget. You have gotten off the track here, read your OP again to yourself. Give them another chance with your rules, that's all people are trying to get across to you, according to your OP. Get back on track with the forgive thing and you will be happier. Just set the rules. Believe me, we've been there and just haven't posted what we've been through. Your story sounds familiar. There were no rules to protect children like there are now. You mom must have gotten the same treatment and her mom or they never would have done the behavior. Hate the sin and not the sinner is all anyone said here. They're just trying to shake you into reality before you spend a lonely holiday. If they don't keep their side of the bargain, then you have to tell them, not us. It's up to you, you asked for opinions and you may not like what you got, but you asked and people answered. God bless you and your son. Try to have a happy family holiday if you can.
And there needs to be "respect" on both sides. Neither should be "serving" the other! Yo
s
You are cracking my sides, these posts
are soooooo funny, not the BF nut but the others. Thanks for the laughs.
This is a hard topic for me - I see both sides (sm)
I have had prayers answered, but I have seen such suffering too and I know those people have cried out for help. You can always ask, but you never know if it is going to be God's will to solve the problem for you or not. I don't see how you can have blind faith that your problem will be solved when not all problems that are prayed about are solved.
Good reminder about the two sides SM
I'm not condoning the animal kicking; it's wrong and there's no two ways around it, although I have to admit that when I have been trying to go in or out of the door without coming under siege by the dogs, my foot has swung- not hard enough to do any damage whatsoever but enough that it clears a path- but my dogs are small and low to the ground so the arm or shoulder that I might use to push past my big dog converts to a foot or a leg to move the little guys.
That being said, what I'm hearing as an undercurrent is that you live either in a rural or semi-rural area, and you have decided you want to move to the 'burbs and have convinced the kids that they want to move to the 'burbs, and everybody is nagging at your husband to get them out of the wasteland he calls a home and move them to the civilization of the 'burbs. Much like the rest of the animal kingdom, backing a man into a corner is going to bring about a reaction, and the whole overboard on the hunting thing may be him thumbing his nose at your suburban ideal.
Also, there are a lot of people who when they recently get into a new hobby or past-time go just a bit overboard. I myself have about 300 jigsaws down in the basement from when I thought that would be fun (only about 50 of them ever completed). My son has a collection of stuff from his martial arts phase that now sit in the back of his closet. My ex has owner's manuals and extra light bulbs and a million parts for that period when he was restoring his 1950s pickup truck. And I won't even talk about all the crap I have from various crafts I decided I was going to take up at a given time.
If you're looking for a reason to dump him and move to the suburbs, I guess his hunting is as good a reason as any. But obviously, at least to me, there are other issues, and I agree that if you want to save this marriage, counseling is the way to go.
I've dealt with this on both sides.
I have 3 boys. My oldest son is very giving and caring (sounds like your daughter). He's been bullied a few times. Different responses apply to each individual bully. Some bullies can be dealt with best by the school or their parents. These are usually the kids who come from good homes and their parents don't always know what happens when they're not around. I generally deal with the parents if they're level-headed. If not, I go straight to the school.
Other bullies come from parents who don't give a darn what they do. These kids are the hardest to deal with. I have had to face these bullies myself. I flat out told them if they continue to pick on my son or bully him, I will call the police and they will be dealt with as a juvenile deliquent. This seemed to stop things pretty quick. I also followed that up with the letting school know what was going on because I had a feeling the child might pick on my son when I'm not there. The school was great about this and were well aware of this bully's behavior. It alerted them to keep a closer watch on my son at recess when this kid was around.
The other side of the fence is my 7-year-old son. I had gotten a call from his teacher early in the school year that he was bullying a couple of smaller kids. My son had a late birthday, so I held him for kindergarten, making him a year older than most of his peers. There didn't seem to be any problem in kindergarten, but by first grade, he realized that he was bigger than most and could use this to his advantage. From that first call I got from his teacher, I made it very clear to him that I would not tolerate bullying from him. I also told him the school would be watching him and if I hear any reports of him bullying others, I would punish him at home as well. Other than a few minor kid things, he's been pretty great. I even explained to him that because he was bigger than the little kids, he needed to protect them and watch over them like a big brother. He's come home a couple of times and told me how some older kids were picking on his friends and he stepped up and told them to knock it off. I was very proud of him and needless to say, he has a lot of "girlfriends" now.
My point here is that not all parents know what their kids are like outside of the home. It's very possible this girl's mother had no idea. Unfortunately, she was already hurt and angry when you talked to her and it probably didn't help things. I would suggest sticking with the teacher from now on with this one, and in the future, bring any problems immediately to the teacher's attention or the parents (depending on their temperament and how well you know them). Most importantly, I have also taught my children to stand up for themselves, use a firm voice, but walk away if it's just words and we'll deal with it together. The only time I allow my children to hit is if they're being physically hit and the other child won't stop. Our school has a zero tolerance for fighting, and it just wouldn't be worth getting expelled otherwise.
Hang in there. She's only 8 -- the really bullying starts in the teen years (I'm remembering mine), not being popular enough or having money or wearing cool clothes or being too smart or not thin enough. It goes on and on. In that case, I'm glad I have boys. They get less catty as they get older (I hope).
I've lived it, both sides and it goes both
I've been on both sides and I have seen stepchildren thrown in the middle, guilty parents on both sides. I have seen the new single mom (now married mom) want her husband all for herself and act SHOCKED when she realizes she can't have him all for herself...it's not always a fairytale ending. It does sound like the child is playing her and it's obvious why, but I witnessed first hand a grown woman manipulate her stepchildren and husband, until she had both turned against her. Instead of expecting all the attention, perhaps your time would be better spent with your stepson NOT expecting anything from your husband, since you're not getting it, it sounds but instead, go out of your way to give him attention. Take him somewhere just the two of you and eat at his favorite fast food place, go to the zoo, something without dad. When he has to depend on just you and dad isn't there for comparison and pity, you might see an improvement for the better.
My child has been on both sides of that fence (sm)
He has been bullied before but he has gotten really good at standing up for himself. I literally have given him comebacks that he can use if he is being verbally bullied, and have told him that while he is never allowed to start a fight he is always allowed to defend himself and even though he may get in trouble at school, he will not be in trouble at home.
One time last year (fifth grade) he was verbally bullying a boy in his class. He said some pretty mean things. I got the phone number to the boy's house through a mutual friend, called, and then too my son to the boy's house to apologize in person, in front of the boy's parents. We talked for a long time beforehand about how the boy must feel to have to go to school and have someone say things like that to him, role-playing such as "how would you feel if that was you" sort of thing. He also lost computer priveleges for a week. He has never bullied anyone else.
However, he did kick a boy in the shin earlier this year when the boy hit him and said he was going to beat him up. My son is strong but doesn't like to fight. I think all kids should be able defend themselves if needed though.
Wow! Such anger at differing sides of opinions!--sm
I don't want to change the subject here, but personally, I do not appreciate the cigarette smokers out there either, at malls, at restaurants, or even adjoinging apartments where I live and throwing their cigarette butts *in my space*, and having to smell that sickening smell coming in my patio door while they smoke, but there is little I can do to stop them. I just have to tolerate it, as it is their choice to want to die of lung cancer, etc. TOLERANCE is the word, I suppose, for the rights of others and we all should respect that. Personally, I wouldn't care if an animal were allowed inside a store. I love animals, too, and they do not cause cancer and induce second hand smoke into my space. How is an animal inflicting on anyone elses rights? I do not understand such anger and vehemence at this subject. My goodness!
Yep! Sounds like TMJ. I wake up with the sides of my tongue...
sore because my jaw clamps down on my tongue and sores on my cheeks from biting them. I would also have an aching jaw for weeks at a time that required mountains of Motrin and muscle relaxers. I finally went to the dentist and now have an acrylic mouthguard I wear at night. I hated it at first, but boy does my jaw feel better. No more aching, no more trouble chewing, no more sores on my cheeks and tongue! Cost me $300 for the mouthguard cause my insurance wouldn't pay, but it was worth every penny!
Go to your dentist!
My SIL fringed all the sides and didn't leave
an opening, although for young ones I really like the idea of sort of sleeping bag. You can buy fleece in all sizes so then you can decide how big you want to make it. My SIL made one for her 6Ɖ hubby so when he is on the couch he is completely covered up. BTW, I think they are beautiful and would live anything my MIL made for me. Well, she once made me a cake with rasins in it....very allergic so couldn't even pretend to like it.
My problem is our kids are the only grandkids on both sides....
so both sets of grandparents spoil them rotten...
100% English, all sides of family, all members. nm

What did you have for breakfast?
This morning my 2 boyz came in off of third shift together @ 7 am(rare occasion) and wanted to know if I would consider helping them with breakfast. They made their suggesttion and I told them to go the the super WalMart and get the ingredients....Well, they're both young working men and can pick up the tab!
Shrimp gumbo (from scratch), crab cakes (frozen) and an extra bag of what appeared to be tiger shrimp on steroids! Yummy!
Just to see them yuckin' it up, pokin' each other, playin' in the kitchen really did my heart good.
Mind you, last night's dinner was boiled chicken backs, pinto beans with jowl meat, turnip greens and hot water cornbread ....So, don't be impressed by this morning's fare....It's very rare.  Enjoy every moment you can with your kids  Cat
Breakfast
How about Belgian waffels with whip cream and fruit topping and an omlet bar? Nothing fancy, just some different veggies and meats with cheese. Set up a couple of pans and let the kids chose what they want. You can really prep all this in the evening and be ready for them when they return. Get paper plates and cups and have a great time. My son went to his prom and a few others over the years so we have done a couple of different things. If you have not been to one yet and are picking up the limo at another kid's house, ask what the situation will be. I went to drop off and take some pics one time and when I got there all of the adults were wearing formal wear and having a party. I, of course, had not even taken a shower that day. Apparently I was sent an e-mail about the event, but it went into my junk mail. I felt like a real rube, but it was still a fun event.
I don't eat breakfast - never have been able to
Ever since I was in grammar school I have never been able to eat breakfast. My parents always made me eat and I'd get sick. Now I get up at 8am, DH doesn't get up til 11AM (on different work schedules), so I don't eat anything. Around 11AM we have our "breakfast" - coffee and whatever it doesn't take me any time to make. I do like life cereal a lot, and sometimes we'll have a bagel or toast. Other times I take some frozen strawberries and blueberries and throw them in the blender with some water and we have a fruit drink. My sister tells me I'm boring and bland. HA HA
What do you eat for breakfast?
Do you change it up, or always eat the same thing?
Myself, for years and years and years... I eat a bowl of cheerios! Sometimes I run out and have to have a bagel with peanut butter or something.
But I still love cheerios after all this time :)
Maybe after a night out and not waking up until 11 or so, we will go eat a big restaurant breakfast of omelets/toast/hash browns, but that's like once a month.
Just curious cause I'm getting hungry and was wondering what everyone else does
Have a great Friday!!!!
Is this the breakfast one?
With eggs and sausage? My mom and sister make that one all the time for morning things. Kids especially love it.
No not the breakfast one. It is
1 bag of thawed hashbrowns (I use the cubed, my kids don't like the shredded hashbrowns)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 stick butter
salt and pepper
2 cups shredded cheese (I use sharp cheddar).
Crushed corn flakes
Melt butter, reserve about 1/4 cup. Mix everything together except corn flakes and reserved butter.
Spread crushed corn flakes over top, pour remaining butter over and back at 350 for 1 hour.
It is a great side dish, goes with anything.
Squash casserole
Here is one I get harrassed to cook every Thanksgiving, it is really good.
Squash Casserole.
2 pounds yellow summer squash.
3 grated carrots.
1 good-sized onion, chopped
1 can cream of celery soup.
1 small bag Pepperidge farm herb-stuffing.
1 egg
1 8 oz container of sour cream.
1 cup grated cheddar cheese.
1 cup melted butter.
Slice and boil the squash gently but don't cook it to death. (Squash is always better if you slice it up, salt it and let it sit out about 30 minutes before cooking). When squash is done, drain water and mash with a fork. Add the chopped onion and the carrots. Put in beaten egg but temper if first so you don't get scrambled eggs. Then add the can of soup and the sour cream mix well, add cheese Put in enough Pepperidge farm to your liking, I would guess I start with about 2 cups. Mix well. S & P to taste. Put in lightly greased 13 x 9 pan. Take about another cup of Pepperidge Farm and put it in melted butter, this is the topping. Or sometimes I just put plain Pepperidge Farm and put the cheese on top instead of in the dish. Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes.
Maybe look for a bed and breakfast place in that...
area. Chamber of Commerce might be able to help you.
Potato casserole
This is my funeral potatoes recipe which does contain cheese, but I see no reason why you can't adjust a recipe to your preference. I do it all the time when recipes have ingredients that I don't like. I'm thinking you could replace the cheese with cream of mushroom soup or cream of potato soup. Go for it. Don't be afraid to make a recipe your own!
* 6 medium potatoes, boiled
* 1 pint sour cream
* 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
* 1 bunch green onions, chopped
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pepper
* 2 tablespoons milk
try eating something for breakfast - even if just
toast - to get your metabolism going. Eat a bigger meal at lunch and a smaller meal at dinner. Do you find yourself eating more less-healthy foods than before? If you get hungry, drink 8 ounces of water before you eat to help fill you up. Eating more in the evening means you aren't getting a chance to work off those calories. Good luck.
Oh, forgot about breakfast here
I had some yogart and some fruit. I just do not know about these foods this person is talking about.
Mmmm...breakfast!
Bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast, orange juice, and coffee.
That reminds me--the treadmill is beckoning. ;-)
Christmas Breakfast
I make a big breakfast casserole (sausage/eggs/bread/cheese) and put it in the fridge the night before. I then pop it in the oven while the kids are opening gifts in the morning and we have that with some fruit or anything else we want...it's Christmas!
Ooeygooey casserole (sm)
I came up with this when we were building our house. We both were working jobs, as well as working on the house, and I just threw some stuff in the pan and it worked!!
Ingredients:
- One package frozen southern style hash browns (the cubed kind)
- One can each cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup (the small cans)
- One package shredded cheese of your choice
- One sleeve Ritz-style crackers
- One half stick butter or margarine
- 2-3 cups of broccoli florets (enough to make a layer). I use frozen.
- One package ready-serve bacon or leftover ham.
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste.
Oven: 375 preheated.
Pan: 9 x 13 baking dish, sprayed with non-stick.
Layer as follows: Potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, mushroom soup and cream of chicken (the small cans don't quite cover the entire thing if you use just one, so I alternate and then go back and "mush" it around a bit), then half the cheese, then the broccoli. Add the ham or bacon.
Melt the butter and crush in the sleeve of crackers. Add the rest of the cheese. Blend well and crumble over top of casserole. Cover with foil.
Bake at 375 until center is bubbling. Take foil off for last few minutes to brown up top. I am guessing that it takes about 60-90 minutes, as I just kind of throw it in and pull it out of the oven when it is done.
I get more requests for this from folks than for anything else I fix. It will last for days, and can be done with leftover meat. I would imagine turkey or chicken would work just as well as the pork.
Hope you like it.

Hashbrown casserole?
sounds good. Mind sharing the recipe?
Hasbrown Casserole
Mine is very easy. You need:
1 bag cubed frozen hash browns 2 lb size
1/2 stick margarine
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mucshroom soup
16 oz sour cream
1 c milk
1 small chopped onion
salt and pepper
Thaw the hash browns for 2 hours or overnight in fridge. Melt margarine and pour over hashbrown in a large bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl mix soup, sour cream, and milk. Mix soup mixture into hashbrowns. Add cheese, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Bake in a greased (I use margarine) 13 x 9 pan at 350 degrees for about 1 hour 15 minutes, more or less depending on the oven. Cover with foil to bake. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before eating, will thicken up as they cool.
Almost everyone likes these. They're great to take to a potluck too.
Maybe she is not eating breakfast before
going to church, but I don't understand why the teacher allows it to go on. Everyone should have at least 1 donut. I would talk to the teacher.

16 year-old made me breakfast!
It's a snow day today, and all three of my teenage sons are home from school. I'm sure my line counts will be low. It's not like they need to interrupt me with "Can I have juice?" or "Play with me," but, they do cause interruptions.
However, I have to say that at least I got one break so far today. The 16-year-old made me pancakes and sausage for breakfast, and he made the pancakes from scratch! He whipped the egg whites, folded them in, etc. What a catch he's going to be some day! (And he's learning to do transcription in the hopes of being able to work from a dorm room one day.)
Yum!
Your pineapple casserole sounds
Yummy. Here is the one we always have.
2 can pineapple tidbits (drained)
1 C. sugar
2Tbsp flour
1 C. shredded cheddar cheese
Ritz Cracker crumbs
1/2 stick butter
Mix pineabble, sugar, flour, and cheese. Put in casserole dish (spray first) cover with cracker crumbs and pour melted butter on top. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. We have this every Easter and always will.
casserole - easy and cheap
Chicken casserole
3-4 boneless chicken breasts
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 C shredded swiss cheese or mozzarella
1 1/2 C stuffing (Stove Top in can)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 can of white wine or chicken broth
1 stick butter
Cut up boneless chicken in bites. layer in 9 x 13 pan. top with sliced mushrooms, then shredded swiss cheese. mix together soup and wine/broth and pour over top.
sprinkle stuffing over everything. pour melted butter over and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes
What do you fix for Christmas morning breakfast?
Looking for ideas. Thanks!
I always make breakfast strata
Saute onion, chopped ham, asparagus and red peppers. Layer with cheap white bread and monteray jack cheese. Beat 1 dozen eggs with 1 quart half and half wiht salt and pepper. Pour 1 cup of egg mixture over the first layer of ingredients, then add your second layer and pour the rest of the egg mixture. Cover with saran wrap and put some cans on top and let it sit for a while so the bread can soak up all of the egg. Bake on 350 for about an hour or until the egg puffs up and browns on top. This is so delicious. You can't even tell that there is bread in there when you eat it. The trick is to use the cheap white bread. I think if you used a heartier bread, it may not turn out. My family loves this and it is something you can make the night before.

You can mince or grind down the pecans rather than chop 'em if you think that'll work for your guests. Cat...

Use 2 pkg. of Jiffy cornbread mix and mix according to directions. If you don't have that in your area, it is a 'sweet' cornbread mix. Brown 1-1/2 pounds of g. beef and mix in bowl with some mild salsa or 14 oz. can tomatoes, chopped, and a can of pinto beans. Pour that in your casserole dish and then cover with the cornbread mix. My 3 year old twins love it. If you just use the tomatoes you could add some chopped onion to the beef when you brown it. Just bake it for about 20 minutes or until the cornbread turns golden brown. this is great with a salad or green beans
