Easy Christmas Breakfast

Hi Betty: I'm wondering what I could make for breakfast on Christmas morning. I won't have a lot of time so it needs to be pretty easy to make. --Patty
Hi Patty! I understand! You don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen on Christmas morning, but you still want something special for the family. I’ve got just what you need: French Toast Casserole is perfect if you have a few minutes the night before since you can assemble the casserole, then refrigerate it overnight. Christmas morning, just pop it in the oven while  you’re opening presents and soon you’ll have piping hot French toast! Breakfast Bread Pudding is a similar recipe that you can prep the night before, but it’s a savory dish, with ham and cheese. Or you might want to try my oversized Apple & Raisin Pancake or the pretty Speckled Egg Bake – although they can’t be prepared the night before, they are both fairly easy – maybe 15 minutes to put  together.  I hope this helps, and makes your Christmas even merrier!

    Hi Gramma Betty - My ginger cookies tend to get harder overnight, and I'm still experimenting to try to get a softer cookie. What do you think I could do to give more softness? But what I was originally going to ask was if you had a good recipe for either ginger cookies, or gingersnap cookies? Thanks for your help! I love your recipes! --Your Adopted Granddaughter JoAnn :)

    Dear Grandma Betty: I enjoy receiving your e-mail recipes very much! However, these days, people such as myself are interested in the calorie and nutrition counts of foods, including sugars, fats (especially trans-fats), and sodium levels. I only eat what I need nowadays, to my displeasure. Nevertheless, your Sunday Waffles recipe sounds delicious! Could you not introduce a good tasting recipe with less sodium and saturated fat (butter)? I leave substitute suggestions to you since you are our chef. THANK YOU! Sincerely,

    —Bill
