Christmas Breakfast

Well, I made the breakfast casserole and did some modifications from the original recipe posted on here. Both turned out to be a big hit.
Here are the recipes for the casserole and the crock pot grits:

Breakfast casserole
1 pound of bacon cooked and crumbled
6 eggs
4-6 pieces of bread torn
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp of Mrs. Dash
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/4 cup of onions chopped
1/4 cup of green peppers chopped
1 cup of milk

layer your greased casserole with the bread and then the bacon. Mix all the other ingredients together and then pour over your casserole. Cover and refridgerate all night. Take out the next day and cook in 350 degree oven for about 40minutes.

Crock Pot Grits
2 cups of 5 minute grits
6 cups of chicken broth
1 stick of butter
2 cups of water

place in crock pot and stir. Set the setting on low. About 4 hours into cooking I added an additional cup of water, you may not need to. Stir it every once in awhile. This is suppose to cook all night, but I found they are done in about 5 hours. Last 25 minutes of cooking, I added more butter and about a 1/2cup of heavy cream. salt and pepper to taste. so very good!!

Time for the Christmas Story

James read the Christmas story before the boys opened their gifts. He said he needed a hat to cover up his bedhead, so Landon gave him his pimp hat.

Christmas Eggnog Poundcake

James LOVES eggnog, but since he isn't allowed to add the spirits he says is needed to make it taste better, he didn't drink the eggnog that I bought him. Well, instead of letting it waste, I made a cake from it. I took a poundcake recipe and somewhat modified it. Here it is and let me tell you, we loved it.

Christmas Eggnog Poundcake

1 cup butter softened
1 cup crisco shortening
3 cups swans down cake mix plus 6 tablespoons
1 cup eggnog
1 cup flake coconut
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 tsp of lemon flavoring
1 tsp of vanilla flavoring

cream butter and shortening. Gradually add sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beat for one minute each. Add flour and eggnog, beginning and ending with flour. (Make sure you sift the flour) Stir in the coconut and the flavorings. Blend well. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 25 minutes.

DON'T PREHEAT YOUR OVEN. Let the oven start cold.
Enjoy!!!!
