Sausage, Fontina & Pepper Strata

May232013

Are you a breakfast for dinner kind of person? I am a huge breakfast for dinner person – eggs, pancakes, even cereal when I’m on my own, I seriously could eat breakfast for any meal of the day. My husband, not so much. It’s probably the only food related discrepancy we have. Since I’m the one cooking dinner, he sometimes just has to suck it up and eat what I fix, but we now have reached a very happy compromise. This casserole is the best breakfast casserole I’ve ever had. Seriously, so ridiculously good. It’s like your average breakfast casserole with the meat, cheese, and eggs, but much more polished and gourmet tasting. Make this for breakfast, brunch, or dinner and your dinning companions are bound to be swooning. The great thing is that you can prep it ahead of time, let it soak up in the fridge, then pop it in the oven when you are ready to go. This one is a keeper!

The Wifesaver

Dec212012

Originally posted on Culinary Wannabe – this is one of my favorites!

Need the perfect dish to serve Christmas morning? Look no further than the Wifesaver! This recipe is courtesy of my lovely mother-in-law, Terri. It is aptly named the Wifesaver because it can be conveniently prepared the night before, then baked up in the morning. It takes about an hour to bake – just enough time to open a few presents before you dig in. The casserole is hearty but not overly heavy. It has almost a quiche-like texture, combined with salty ham, sharp cheddar cheese and a crunchy cereal topping (the Special-K topping, though weird sounding, is awesome). Really delicious, and it makes Christmas morning a snap. Hope your family enjoys this as much as ours!

Veggie & Bacon Breakfast Hash

Nov22012

Every couple of weeks, I will clean out my veggie drawer by either making a fritatta or a hash like this one. They both make for fantastic dinners – quick, easy, warm and filling. And there’s always something fun about having breakfast for dinner. This would, of course, make an amazing breakfast as well (especially if you’ve had a few too many cocktails the night before). And I doubt you would need lunch afterwards! We still (thankfully) have power here in nyc, but the pickins at the grocery store were slim, so this was the perfect meal to use up what we already had on hand. I’m sure a few fellow New Yorkers could benefit from a meal like this. Have a great weekend everyone, and a special good-luck to all the marathoners out there – although I’m still a bit torn as to whether or not the marathon should go on, we will be out cheering!
