What do you make for Christmas breakfast AND Christmas Dinner?

[RunnerMomO]

Puffed pancakes for breakfast with sour cream and strawberries in syrup!

Sure! I found it on Pinterest, so credit does not go to me

1 lb ham (I am using sausage)
12 eggs
24 oz frozen hashbrowns
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt

Combine hashbrowns, ham and cheese in a large bowl. Put in 13x9 that has been sprayed with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs milk, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the hashbrown mixture. Bake 1 hour at 350.

Thank you very much! This looks delicious!

I thought of a question...do you know are these shredded hash browns or little cubes?

 

[bigbabyblues]

You could probably use either, but I am using the shredded ones.

No problem! This is a Paula Deen recipe I have been making for years! Super fast and easy to make on Christmas morning and quite festive too! They actually taste exactly like pineapple upside down cake, without having to prepare a batter.

Ingredients
1 (10-ounce) can crushed pineapple
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, at room temperature
10 maraschino cherries
1 (12-ounce) package refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (10 count) * I've also used flakey butter tasting biscuits with good results too.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Grease 10 cups of a muffin tin. Strain the can of crushed pineapple, save juice for later. Combine the pineapple, sugar, and butter, and mix well. Divide the pineapple mixture among the muffin cups. Place a cherry in the center of each muffin cup, making sure cherry hits bottom of cup. Place 1 biscuit in each cup on top of sugar and pineapple mixture. Spoon 1 teaspoon reserved pineapple juice over each biscuit. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Cool for 2 minutes. Invert the pan onto a plate to release the biscuits. Serve warm.

My husband requests these every single year he loves them so much! Hope you enjoy them too!

I am so making this Christmas morning. Thank You

For breakfast, we used to do a French Toast Casserole & a Sausage & Wild Rice Casserole, & we'd scramble some eggs to go w/ the casseroles. (We'd put the casseroles together the night before.)

However, for the last few years (& this year), we just have orange cinnamon rolls w/ bacon! Much easier! And that's really all the kids are interested in anyway!

And then DH & I get busy preparing Christmas Day dinner! LOL!

After a few years of doing a fancy Crown Rib Roast w/ accompanying sides, we've started doing "themed" meals.

One year, we did Italian. Last year, our dinner was inspired by 'Ohana at Disney World.

This year, we're doing a "Christmas in the Bayou" Dinner. This past fall, DH & our older DS went w/ my Dad on a fishing trip to Louisiana & caught redfish & trout, so we're using some of the fish they caught.

Following is our menu:

Emeril Lagasse's Crispy Redfish & Chicken
Turkey & Andouille Sausage Gumbo
Cajun Green Bean Stir Fry
Baked Yams
Cheese Grits
Creole Cranberry Relish
French Bread

And, for dessert, we're having Key Lime Cake w/ White Chocolate Mousse Frosting, Pineapple-Apple Bread Pudding w/ Bourbon Sauce, Christmas Cookies, & Beignets (hopefully!).

Christmas eve is always calm chowder-this is something both my mothers French Catholic family and my Husbands Belgian Catholic family have always done-fish soup of some kind before going off to midnight mass.
Christmas breakfast is usually homemade cinnamon rolls-made on the afternoon of the 24th and proofed overnight in the fridge then into the oven in the morning-Hubbys family always does eggs benedict. This year our kids wont be home til Christmas afternoon so they can spend the morning with their spouses families so we will do eggs benedict for just the two of us.
Christmas dinner is a big event for us
my menu this year
Old bay steamed shrimp cocktail
Standing rib roast
twice baked potatoes
my mothers strawberry salad
roast brussel sprouts
glazed carrots
maple sourdough rolls
banana cream pie
butter cake.

Okay, these sound so yummy that we are definitely making these this year.

Christmas morning:
Monkey Bread (I just use the recipe on the Pilsbury Buttermilk Biscuits and it is delicious. i used to make from scratch cinnnamon rolls but everyone likes this just as much and saves me about 2 hours in the kitchen)
Fruit Salad. Usually pretty basic apples, bananas, oranges, and whatever berry is the cheapest with a honey-lime poppyseed dressing.
Ham. I just stick out a big plate of cold leftover ham from the night before and it always gets eaten.

Christmas Dinner:
Fondue night
Traditional Swiss-Gruyere cheese fonde with kielbasa, bread, carrots, celery, apples to dip in it.
Mojo (broth based) fondue with steak, shrimp, chicken, baby potatoes, mushroom caps, and lobster ravioli
Chocolate fondue for dessert with pound cake, brownies, berries

I am so hungry after reading all these posts

Its just DH and I, and since our "gift" this year was our trip to Disney in April, for breakfast we decided to make what we would normally eat for breakfast at Disney: Fresh pineapple, strawberries, muffins, bacon,and homemade churros!

Sausage and Egg bake for breakfast/brunch. Leftover from Mom's for dinner-- usually Ham and a lot of Christmas cookies!

 

[Alexle2007]

Christmas dinner at our house so I am having ham and lasagna. Making the lasagna ahead of time so I can just throw it in the oven on Christmas. Anyone know if the oven ready noodles actually work? I am hoping so

 

[4HOLIDAYS]

Christmas Eve this year will be lasagna and chicken parm plus salads and such, pasta and apps for extended family, Christmas am/brunch time for just 7, egg bake, cin rolls, bacon, sausage... and Christmas dinner for self, Dh and 2DS will be Prime rib, asparagus, twice baked pot, apps and cookis rest of day.

I am gaining weight just thinking about all that food.

 

[mitchwebb]

This year is 25 for Christmas Eve and we will cook extra rib roast.
Christmas mornings the 5 of us with rib roast hash, eggs, cinnamon rolls, fruit and mimosas.

Christmas day another large group and we will do my DH seafood chowder. sis's award winning french onion soup, salad and french bread.

And all day gaming.

 

[happymommy]

Christmas Eve - we usually go out. I've been working on wrapping and readying the house for Christmas Day, so I need a break!

Christmas morning, I used to make a big breakfast. Not sure if I will this year.

Christmas afternoon, all my inlaws come over (husband's parents, his sister and her family, his brother and his family, plus this year his step sister and her family). I'll have about 17 people here.

Last year I did beef brisket, which I keep sliced and warm in the electric skillet with onions for French Dip sandwiches, plus a ham, potato casserole (you know, the one with Potatoes O'Brien, cream of chicken soup, sour cream and cheese). Then they all bring stuff over too.

This year, I'm grilling two whole peeled beef tenderloins today rare, and then slicing it and serving it room temp tomorrow with horseradish and rolls, as well as a ham & the potato casserole. I don't want to do real cooking on a holiday!

 

[kkmcan]

My mom does ham, potatoes, and rolls, cookies and candies at her house on Christmas Eve.

Christmas Day we are having the inlaws over for Tritip smoked on the smoker, potato salad, rolls and beans. Peppermint pie for dessert.

 

[2DisPrincesses]

Breakfast is cinnamon rolls ( usually homemade but no time this year), bacon, fruit, and Hashbrown casserole.

Dinner is beef Wellington, scalloped potatoes, salad, green beans. For apps we have the Brie in baked phylo dough thing with fruit and all kinds of crackers and shrimp cocktail.

Desserts are homemade fudge, pecan pie, chocolate cream pie
