Make Ahead Breakfast

By -
Last night I decided to mix things up a bit around here and make something yummy for breakfast. I get so tired of oatmeal, cold cereal, eggs and pancakes, so I pulled out one of our all time favorites. I often make this when we have company over for breakfast and growing up, it was Christmas morning breakfast. I've posted this before on our other website, but thought I'd share again. I also have added one or two ingredients that we like. I'll put an asterisk** next to the ones I added.

Make Ahead Breakfast

8-10 slices of sourdough bread - torn into small pieces
1 lb. breakfast sausage meat, browned
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped
*1 (4 oz.) can mild green chilis
4 eggs beated (*I add 5 eggs)
2 cups milk (*I add 2 1/2)
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Spray the bottom of your 9x13 inch pan. Put bread pieces in the bottom and then put the cooked meat on top of the bread. In a separate bowl mix together the onion, *chilis, eggs, milk and soup - pour that mixture over the bread and meat.
Spread cheddar cheese on top.

Bake at 325 for 45 minutes -- its called Make Ahead because it tastes the best when it sits at least 24 hours in your fridge before cooking.

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this again Stef! I have been wanting to make breakfast one day per week, once we start school, and this will be a great one to make!

Jill, when I first read your comment I was thinking "who makes breakfast for her kids?!" and then I realized you don't have a bunch of toddlers anymore. I still cannot get used to that. :)
We ate the entire 9x13 inch pan in one day... we had it for breakfast, Rachel requested more for lunch and then we all ate it again for dinner. Crazy pigs, I know.

If you're ever in the mood Sara, its totally worth it the next morning. :)
I am one of those weird people that likes to cook and clean more at night. Its probably because I'm married to a major night owl. :)

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
