Unless it's a holiday, most people are lucky enough to eat a bowl of cereal in the mornings. Even cereal gets old though, so this section is dedicated to Breakfast...
I have to thank my sister for a lot of these...We did a recipe exchange for a little while and then right before christmas she gave me this Goose Berry Patch cookbook that had some awesome yummy recipes!!!
TUCKETT'S 2010 CHRISTMAS MORNING BREAKFAST
I tried some new recipes this year and have to say, I wasn't disappointed!
Here was the Menu: Crepes and sausage filled crepes, Cream cheese scrambled eggs, Crispy brown sugar bacon. (SO GOOD)
CREPES OR SAUSAGE FILLED CREPES
My kids and husband Love crepes and it's something I don't make often.
CREPES: whisk together 3 eggs, 1 C milk, 1 T vegetable oil, 1 T water. Stir in
1 C flour and 1/2 t salt.
Spray skillet. put about 3-4 T of batter to pan, quickly tilt to coat pan with mix. cook 3 min or until golden brown, then turn and cook other side.. Repeat until batter is gone. Serve these with flavored syrups and whipping cream or if your my sisters kids, Vanilla pudding and whip cream. (Pretty good).
If you want to try the sausage filled crepes then do this after making crepes.
Brown 1 lb sausage with 1/4 C onion. then add 3 oz cream cheese, softened and
1 1/2 C shredded cheese. Place sausage mix down the center of crepe. roll up and place in a greased 9x13 pan. Bake uncovered, at 375 for 20 min.
Combine 1/2 c. sour cream and 1/4 C melted butter and spoon over crepes. Bake for another 5 min.
CREAM CHEESE SCRAMBLED EGGS
12 eggs, 1 C milk, 2 (3oz)pkgs cream cheese cubed, 3/4 t salt, 1/4 t pepper,
1/4 C butter or cooking spray, chopped fresh chives (optional)
In a blender, mix first 5 ingredients until frothy, stopping to scrape down sides.
Melt butter or spray in a lg skillet over med heat. reduce heat to med-low. Add egg mix and cook. without stirring, until mix begins to set on bottom. Then scrape spatula across bottom of skillet to form lg curds. Continue cooking until eggs are thick and done; don't stir constantly. Sprinkle with chives if you have them.
CRISPY BROWN SUGAR BACON
1 lb thick sliced hickory-smoked bacon slices, 1 C light brown sugar, packed
1 T black pepper.
Cut bacon slices in 1/2. Combine sugar and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge bacon in sugar mixture, shaking off excess.(Hint: If you run bacon under cold water first before cooking, then it won't shrink. also cook bacon in the oven, the smell won't over run your house as bad) Place bacon on a foil lined cookie sheet. Bake 425 for 20-25 min or until crispy.
BLUEBERRY-CROISSANT FRENCH TOAST
Combine in a bowl: 1 C half and half, 2 eggs, 1/3 C sugar, 1/4 C milk,
1 t ground cinnamon, 1/4 t salt. Pour into a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
8 T bluberry preserves, divided, 4 Croissants, sliced horizontally, 1/2 C butter,
2 C bluberries, powder sugar or maple syrup.
Spread 2 T preserve on 4 croissant halves; top with remaining halves. Arrange croissants on top of egg mixture; turn to coat. Set a side until liquid is absorbed, about 45 min; turn often.
Melt 1/4 c. butter in a skillet. Add 2 croissants and cook until golden brown on both sides. melt remaining butter and cook 2 more croissants. Add bluberries to skillet and cook 3 1/2 minutes or until heated through. Spoon berries over croissants and serve with desired toppings. You could probably use any fruit for these. I would like to try Raspberries.

HERB CHEESE CESCENT ROLLS
I'm not sure if you want my short version of this or Paula Deens, so I will give both. Mine is quick & easy and still tasted as good.
Mindi's version: Crescent rolls (quanity Depends on how many people you are serving)
Then find any flavor spreadable cheese (Not cream cheese). I used Rondele' Garlic and herb.
Spread cheese on each crescent and roll. Use directions for baking on the package. These were quick and a good appetizer on New Years. They would also taste good as your dinner roll.
