I am thinking about you.🤍
The best Christmas morning breakfast egg bake ever!
I love the holiday's. But I don’t want to be cooking in the kitchen Christmas morning. I want to be drinking coffee by the fire and enjoying my grandsons. 🤍
This is why I tweaked recipe after recipe to find a GREAT morning egg bake that YOU can make 24-48 hours BEFORE Christmas morning and it will bake up divine.
You are going to love the ease of this recipe.
What makes this so special is the hash browns. The difference between using hash browns and cubed bread is huge. (Plus it makes it gluten free. ❤️)
EASY. MAKE AHEAD.
Merry Christmas Friends!
Hospitality is a message you give others about their value. It’s not about impressing people but bringing comfort and care.
Yield: Makes 12-14 servings
Ingredients
1 pound mild chicken sausage
1 pound hot ground chicken sausage ( I found this at Whole Foods)
1 (30-ounce) package frozen seasoned hash browns
1 large chopped onion
1 large tablespoon fresh chopped garlic
1 four ounce can of chopped green chilis
8 oz chopped fresh mushrooms
1 bag fresh spinach
1 red chopped pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cup shredded Gouda cheese or cheese alternative
8 large farm fresh eggs
2 cups skim or almond milk. I prefer almond milk as it is healthier and it tastes great in this recipe!
Preparation
Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well.
Prepare hash browns according to package directions, using 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Stir together hash browns, sausage, and cheese. Add mushrooms, peppers, chilies and spinach.
Pour into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
Whisk together eggs, milk, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Pour evenly over potato mixture.
Can be in your refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Cover well with foil.
Bake at 350° for 40 minutes until bubbly and hot.
Take off foil for the last 5 minutes to brown top.
Serve with a good Salsa and enjoy!

Friends!
Here it is ⭐️⭐️⭐️
My number ONE Christmas appetizer this year!
Seriously this is just incredible. The buttered  crispy sage, and mascarpone cheese add the most delightful combination.
I added dried cherries and oh my word! 
I double the recipe because I’m going to freeze one for the New Year’s Day party that we’re hosting!
Enjoy!!
POMEGRANATE WHITE CHEDDAR, TOASTED ALMOND DRIED CHERRY AND CRISPY SAGE CHEESEBALL.
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons butter
10 fresh sage leaves
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
4 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
6 ounces freshly grated sharp white cheddar cheese
1 cup sliced almonds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Several dashes of red pepper if you want some kick
1/3 cup dried cherries
1 1/3 cup pomegranate arils
Crackers for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once it’s sizzling, toss in the sage leaves and cook until crispy – flipping once and cooking about 1 minute per side. Remove the sage leaves and place them on a paper towel to crisp up a bit. Set the butter aside.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, mascarpone and cheddar cheese. Beat until combined, then add in the almonds, sage leaves, remaining butter, salt and pepper. Add cherries. Mix on low speed until combined, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides and the bottom if needed. Take the cheese mixture out of the bowl and add 1/2 cup of the arils and mold it into a big ball as best you can. Roll it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the arils on a paper towel and pat them completely dry. Let them sit out while the cheese is chilling to remove as much liquid from them as possible. Add slivered almonds. Toss together.
After 30 minutes, mold the cheese into more of a smooth ball. Add the arils and almonds to a plate or baking sheet and roll the ball through them, using your hands to press arils into all the cracks and crevices. You will need to gently press so the arils adhere to the cheese. At this time, you can serve it immediately or keep it in the fridge until ready to use. If you want to make it ahead of time, you can rolls the ball 1 to 2 days beforehand. I’d wait until the night before or morning of to add the almonds and pomegranate arils, and you may need to let the cheese come to room temp a bit so it’s sticky enough.
Also freezes great!

Faith, Food, Real People, Real Life -
START SIMPLY, but SIMPLY START!!!!! This is a most important message to women. I am not just about information, but transformation!
It’s not “entertaining” . . . but providing a comfortable setting for people to enjoy and learn from one another.
Not showing off . . . but sharing life, embracing hospitality as a message you give other people about their value.
Not kitchen theatrics . . . but kitchen-based connection, using food as a catalyst for community.
Not dinner parties and open houses . . . but mealtime communion and openhearted living.
Not house beautiful . . . but rejoicing in the beauty of shared meals and fellowship in a welcoming setting.
Not doing something unusual for “company,” but creating an everyday lifestyle that provides welcome to family, friends, strangers . . . and yourself.
And it’s not just for those with gorgeous homes, professional cooking skills, support staff on call, or special gifts. It’s for anyone who wants to invite community to come to them since most likely they won’t be connecting anywhere else but on facebook.
Maltby has a heart for this kind of miraculous hospitality.
Tammy has taught it in her popular workshops for the past fifteen years. And she’s been living it for decades . . . as a college student just out on her own . . . as a young wife inviting another family to share a tiny apartment . . . as the stay-at-home mom with four small children hosting dinner parties for the movers and shakers of the world . . . as a single mom with four teens and a full-time career as an author and speaker…and as an almost-empty-nester adjusting to a new home and a brand-new life Tammy gets what it means to relate to people just where they are.
The best news of all, according to Maltby is that we don’t have to wait for the change of perspective to begin changing how we do life. The skills of hospitality are learned by doing—literally “practicing” it. This vivacious woman provides the tools to do just that—including easy basics, time-saving tricks, and a small arsenal of foolproof, irresistible recipes. But her primary teaching thrust is not “here’s how,” but “you can do it . . . beautifully, and have fun doing it! Maltby encouraging watchword for any woman interested in creating community and kitchen connection, is to “start simply, but simply start,” then move step by step toward a life that is more beautiful, and welcoming, but most of all spicy and fun!
