Favorite Christmas Breakfast Ideas

It seems like breakfast on Christmas morning is usually a tradition special to your family. 

Growing up, my dad always made Aebleskivers.  This was a special treat for us since they took a while to make enough to fill all of us up.  We seemed to eat them faster than my dad could make them, even with two Aebleskiver pans cooking at once.  They remind me of my Danish grandma...and of my dad. 

Since I've started a family of my own, we have a tradition of having cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas.  I mix them up on Christmas Eve and let them sit overnight in the fridge.  Then I bake them after we open presents.  Here's exactly how I prep them to rise overnight...and here's the recipe

If pancakes are more your style, my family LOVES this recipe for Light and Tender Wheat-Oatmeal Pancakes
The best part is that you prepare the dry mix beforehand and store it in your freezer, then all you have to do is measure out how much you need and add buttermilk (or milk or yogurt) and eggs and cook! 

Another fun breakfast food is German Pancakes (or at least that's what my family calls them).  Super easy to blend together and bake.  Your family will love seeing how "high" it gets in the oven.

Or if you live in New Mexico (like me) and love your green chile, then you could make breakfast burritos

One Hour Rolls

These rolls are amazing!  I've been making these rolls since 2001 when I was a newlywed and my sister-in-law shared the recipe with me.  The rolls are light, fluffy, easy to make and they only take one hour!  And delicious too!   I've made these rolls more times than I can count, so I've perfected the art of making them.  Here are some step-by-step instructions with pictures for you. Here's what you'll need.  I buy pretty much all of the ingredients in this recipe at Sam's club, thus the huge containers.  You need warm water, yeast, oil, sugar, salt, egg and flour. In the mixer bowl, add warm water (not hot), oil, sugar and yeast.  Mix together. After ten or fifteen minutes the yeast mixture should be puffed up like this.  Time to add the salt and beaten egg. Then mix in the flour.  (I've used a mixture of half wheat and half white flour successfully.) Keep adding flour until the dough is manageable.  It ...

Chicken Angelo

Don't forget to enter the Whirley Pop giveaway .  It ends tomorrow! Am I the only person that asks their friends what they're making for dinner all the time?  That's kind of why I started this blog, because I want to know what my friends are making for dinner. The other day I asked my friend, Juli (who is great cook), what she was making for dinner.  She told me she was making Chicken Angelo.   Then she told me what's in it.  I knew I had to try it too because she has some picky eaters at her house like I do.   I figured if they'll eat it then maybe it was worth a try at my house. This Chicken Angelo pasta has my favorite things, artichoke hearts and mushrooms in it.  But don't be fooled into thinking that my family likes these things too.  Because they don't.  They won't touch an artichoke or mushroom with a ten foot pole. That being said, my family loved this pasta dish.  They even gave me the go ahead to make it again. ...

The Best French Bread I've Ever Made

This is the best french bread I've ever made.  I got this recipe from my friend, Nikki, who gave us some of this bread as a thank you for my hubby helping them move a piano.  I remember it being delicious and we gobbled it up fast.  I was intimidated for some reason by the recipe and waited a few years before I made it. We needed some bread for to make some turkey, provolone, avocado sandwiches, so I made some of this bread and it was perfect!  We sliced one loaf like they do at Subway.  Then later I made normal shaped sandwiches with the rest of the bread.  Delicious... light and fluffy and yummy! Update 2/22/12: This is still my favorite bread after making it for a year! It turns out perfect every time and it's gone in a flash! printable recipe French Bread recipe from my friend, Nikki Yield: 2 loaves   Ingredients 2 c. warm water 1 pkg (or 1 heaping Tbsp.) yeast 1/4 c. granulated sugar ...
