I entertain. A lot. Because of that, my brothers and sisters typically place me in charge of holiday dinners.
This year, my brother Cornell (and his wife Sophia) are in charge of Thanksgiving dinner.
So, I am in charge of desserts (of course) and our Thanksgiving Day breakfast. With so much to cook for a holiday dinner, your holiday breakfast (or brunch) shouldn't be hard.
Here are some great breakfast recipes that you can make with ease. In fact, some of these can be prepared on the evening before the big day.
French Toast Casserole. My family loves french toast, but I refuse to spend the entire morning making French Toast to order. This French Toast Casserole recipe gives you the taste and texture of French Toast, without all of the work. This casserole tastes fantastic with warm maple syrup and a couple of sausage links.
Egg and Sausage Casserole. This is the #1 request from my nieces and nephews when I prepare the holiday breakfast. This Egg and Sausage Casserole is pretty dense -- it contains eggs, sausage, cheese, mushrooms, tater tots, . . .you get the picture, right? So, I typically serve it with fruit salad and some yogurt, and call it "a day."
Baked Garlic Cheese Grits. I am not a fan of grits! They are so "gritty!" But, thanks to an episode of Paula Deen on Food Network, I discovered Baked Garlic Cheese Grits. All I can say is "Yum!"
Steamed Asparagus with Poached Eggs. I found this Steamed Asparagus with Poached Eggs recipe on Gina's Skinny Recipes blog. I am happy to let all of my Weight Watchers buddies know that this recipe tastes good, and each serving is only two WW points!
I have a thing for spicy hot chocolate, and my son cannot have dairy. So, we enjoy this vegan hot chocolate on chilly Sunday mornings.
Enjoy a fabulous holiday breakfast!
Love and Soul Always, Kay

Baked garlic cheese grits, now that sounds delicious. I love grits, but I must say they have to be cooked right way. Otherwise, they are like you said too "gritty" ... I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
