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!
What are people supposed to call Christmas Eve and Christmas Day now?? (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.
Maybe look for a bed and breakfast place in that...
area. Chamber of Commerce might be able to help you.
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. ;-)

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.
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 in the crockpot

Breakfast Casserole
That sounds yummy! Thanks!
I have a standing breakfast date...
every Thursday morning with 3 friends. Weekends are mostly family time. My oldest son always comes home from school on Friday night, so we Netflix. This weekend, we were supposed to play paintball, but it doesn't look like the weather is going to cooperate.
Can someone tell me how to cook it? Breakfast food, right?

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!
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.
Breakfast casserole sides.
1. Biscuits with assorted jams and preserves, perhaps a sausage gravy boat.
2. Baked cheese grits or fried grits.
3. Cinnamon rolls/assorted pastries.
4. Blueberry or orange-cranberry muffins.
5. Hash browns or potatoes O'Brien.
6. Sausage patties.
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.
Home Alone 1, A Christmas Story, Home for the Holidays, Chevy Chase's Christmas, sm
There "The Gift of the Magi," He sells his gold watch to buy her a comb for her hair and she sells her beautiful long hair to buy him a chain for his gold watch. It used to be on "Short Stories by O'Henry" but that's long gone, long ago. Good moral to the story. I can't stand "It's a Wonderful Life" -- too depressing, especially with banks closing, too intimidating right now!!!
PUMPKIN PIE. Breakfast, lunch and dinner! n/m

Backwards night! Breakfast for dinner!
Having bacon, eggs, toast. Usually have pancakes or waffles instead of toast, but not much gumption today...
I live in Texas and have had scrapple for breakfast before.....sm
I haven't seen it around lately. We have something down here that is similar but for some reason it really grosses me out....hog head cheese.
Bloody Mary for breakfast, extra vodka! lol

Starbucks coffee IS strong. Probably Breakfast Blend is weakest,

Two youngest grandchildren here tonight. They love breakfast for supper. (sm)
Will do bacon, hashbrowns, a frittata, biscuits and juice. If their mom gets here in time for supper will do gravy for her biscuits. The kids and my husband don't care for biscuits and gravy. (Go Figure).
Breakfast - homemade biscuits, gravy, scrambled eggs,
bacon, fried bologna and potato pancakes. It was scrumptious!!!!
Made belgian pancakes & maple syrup for breakfast, then typing for

On vacation I had Bananas Foster french toast. Breakfast buzz! nm

My morning
My 9-year-old son was late for school and had to run upstairs and get his homework. He was running down the stairs, which he has been told a million times not to, when he slipped on the carpeted steps and proceeded to glide down about ten stairs. I heard the ruckus and went running towards the sound of disaster. There lay my son in a heap on the ground holding his side and moaning as loud as he possibly could. I kept asking what happened and my daughter was more than happy to give me the play by play (with every adjective possible), but her words were muffled under the sounds of his moans. I thought he must of hit the banister, as he was holding his side in the fetal position, but no one could actually hear my questions over my daughter’s story and his moans, so as loud as I could I bellowed, “What did you hit?” All of a sudden, my daughter’s rendition stopped, as well as my son’s loud moaning, and all got quiet. My son looked up at me and very seriously, with a look of utter disgust, said, “The ground!” In a little under 2 seconds I realized what a silly question that was, but what a great answer!!! I have just chuckled over this all morning and thought I would share it with all the mothers out there!
P.S. He is absolutely fine, thankfully, and I do believe making his mother feel like a dimwit was the cure-all!!!!
She ate a little this morning sm
I got her to eat this morning when I handfed her (which made me late to start working but I figured what the heck). Then I thought I would try the cream cheese trick and she took it in her mouth but dropped it and then got mad at me and ran away then tried to pee on the entertainment center. *smile* But no pee came out - so she was either just showing her displeasure or has no pee (which isn't good). Anyway, that is the update so far today. Thanks you all for your support.
Morning, oh most definitely morning!
I'm one of those tools that's always chipper in the morning doing the ol' "daylight's a' burnin" thing and annoying the heck out of the partying folk who don't get started until noontime.
Definitely morning...
I start at 5 a.m., take a break from 6:30-7:40 to get the kids up, ready and off to school, then work until I get finished for the day, usualy in time to watch GH before I have to go pick up the kids, but sometimes not!
It was on GMA this morning...
?
How many of us are up this morning? (sm)
It's 4:45 am!
I know!! I saw that this morning!!!! Wow, how sad is that??? nm
x
Thanks, this morning it was gone sm
didn't look like any disturbance in the area but I wish I could have known 100% for sure that the bunny is back home!! I think he or she is, but wish I knew for sure.
GMA this morning...sm
Did anyone catch Boyz II Men on GMA this morning? They were great! Did the oldie *I'll Be There*, sorry don't know who originally did it, but they did a great job, including all the moves...really good little concert!
They said to me this morning
"Well, why didn't you call us?". My response was, "With four of you in the room, NONE of you thought to say 'Hmmm..I wonder if she got the text'?"
Take it in the morning
I am currently pregnant. I took a test in the PM because I didn't want to wait either. I was certain I was pregnant as we had been trying. That test was neg. I waited 2 days and took another test in the AM and it was positive. If you really want to be sure you can call your doctor and see if you can come in for labs only and get the blood test. That will tell you for certain without any questions and most will do that without a problem and they can run it STAT if you request.
What a morning!
I have spent the last 5 minutes trying to get a "hair" off the side of my coffee mug. Turns out it is a crack. Then I tried to scratch my back with my pen and the pen fell into my shirt and I can't find it. It has to be in there somewhere, right?
Do I need new glasses? Is Alzheimer's setting in? Oh wait, it's Monday...never mind.
My morning's no better --
My husband took today and tomorrow off to get the trimwork painted for our new house. It needs to be done by this weekend -- about 10 bundles of 24 pieces each.
Anyway, we get up this morning and find out the kids don't have school today -- something mechanical at their school needs fixed. Then, we were expecting a delivery today for the new house from Lowe's around lunchtime. The guys called this morning at 8 o'clock and said they're at our new house waiting for our signature. 
Anything else? Oh yeah, I really don't feel motivated to get my lines in -- UGGGHHHH!
Morning Sickness
With my first daughter I didn't have any at all. I guess I was lucky. With my second daughter I had evening sickness. LOL. The only thing that would help with a cup of decaffeinated tea. It lasted I believe just a few weeks. Good luck with your pregnancy.
Third report of the morning...
Doctor starts to spell patient's name...D - i - g, as in Zebra. Yes, he's an ESL and it's too early in the morning for this!
I saw this earlier this morning, as well--sm
and on my start page, they actually showed a picture of the poor puppy! I was appalled at what I consider to be a lenient sentence for inflicting nothing but anger and hatred on a poor defensless animal. Unfortunately, treating these types of people the same way they treat other beings constitutes a crime and violates *their* rights, and would instill a punishment on us far worse than what he received. However, if it was possible to inflict on him the same as he inflicted, I would be the first in line to do so!!! I highly doubt one of his punishments of 48 hours of counseling is going to undo what is screwed up in his brain! But I would surely love to be his *counselor*.
Neither did DD who asked me this morning (sm)
Didn't even know what to tell her exactly. She's a rich brat who is going to beat the legal system, that's all I know.
