  Sharing one of our favorite Christmas morning breakfast dishes (again).  However, I have made it for other occasions. The recipe is on my blog HERE .  I have made this with homemade bread, and it still turned out delicious.  Homemade sage sausage is good with this too. The best part of this breakfast recipe, is it is made the night before, covered and baked the next morning.  You could also use leftover ham, or bacon, but we've always made it with sausage. The recipe was given to me by a co-worker, many, many years ago. The weather here is still rain. It's also causing a muddy mess outside.  It's definitely been a warmer December this year.

Thankfully, while they were here.... They helped move the couch to the living room.  We are so happy to finally have it back where it belongs.  There is so much more work to do, to get everything back in it's home, and we are still waiting on the flooring transition piece to finish that and the rest of the trim. The storm is over, and we are predicted to be up in the upper 40's or low 50's by later this week, but rain moves in. I don't like to go out a lot during winter, so I attempted to purchase a desk top file holder for my office area.  Well, it was delivered and returned.  It had mold ...

  (note:  you could use ham or bacon or any mix of meats really, but we've always used breakfast sausage) The original recipe was given to me by a co-worker many, many years ago.  She had brought the dish in for a potluck, and it was amazing.  We've been baking this for Christmas morning every year since then, because you can make it the night before and bake it in the morning. Brown one pound of organic (or homemade) breakfast sausage.  Drain. Set aside. Recipe calls for "8 slices of white bread" I use homemade white bread, and use about 6 slices, because my loaf is much larger than one from the store. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.  I've also used a thin layer of organic olive oil. Dice the bread with kitchen sheers or a knife. Layer the cubed bread into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked breakfast sausage evenly over the cubed bread. Grate 1 cup of organic sharp cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over...
