Make Ahead Christmas Morning Casserole (repost)

This casserole is delicious and so easy. It is also our most popular recipe EVER! While we’ve always loved it, in the past I would only make it for Christmas morning. However, I have started making a bit more often since it is so good and easy. Jordan made it for her early morning Bible study and we even made it this year for Thanksgiving morning. For Thanksgiving we added cooked Italian chorizo sausage instead of bacon- it was a bit spicy and delicious. Below is the original post – I hope you like it as much as we do.

If you end up making this recipe, we’d love to know about it. Take a picture and post it on Instagram and tag us @mydaughterandi and include the hashtag #mydaughterandiblog so we can see your wonderful creations!

In case you are planning your Christmas menu, I thought now would be a great time to share this recipe with you.  I started making this recipe for our family probably 15 years ago.  With three small children wanting to open gifts and play with toys and two hungry adults wanting to enjoy a nice breakfast, this was the perfect solution.  I’m really not sure where I got the recipe, but we all love it.

You make this dish the day/night before and put it in the refrigerator.  It is cooked the next day, so it is simple if you’re expecting guests or you are busy opening presents! We serve ours with cinnamon rolls and fruit.  This year I am going to make these shortcut cinnamon rolls.

I love to set the table for Christmas morning during the day on Christmas Eve, so everything is all set and looking festive on Christmas morning.

This past weekend we were going on a family hike before church on Sunday, so on Saturday I decided to make this dish.  It was weird because I normally ONLY make this dish on Christmas.  It was delicious and perfect to have ready when we got home from our hike and it made me wonder why I don’t make this recipe more often.

Easter Breakfast Casserole

easter breakfast casserole 1

Easter is such a great holiday and such a wonderful time of year! We often go to a sunrise church service and by the time we get home, we are all ready for a delicious breakfast. This breakfast casserole is so simple and delicious and we all love it! At Christmas time, this recipe was our most popular post ever and I can understand why.

You mix the casserole up and leave it in the refrigerator overnight and then pop it in the oven the next morning. We serve ours with fruit and either muffins or cinnamon rolls. Listed below are a few of our favorite breakfast sweets. Enjoy your Easter!

Veggie Egg Scramble

My Daughter and I- Veggie Egg Scramble

In an effort to mix up our eating a bit, we’ve been making a lot more eggs for breakfast – for dinner too, really. The other day we had a ton of eggs and I didn’t have a dinner plan, so I whipped this delicious egg scramble up. It was so colorful with all the yummy veggies and it was really quite hearty too. It was so good, I’ve made it several more times, using whatever veggies we have on hand, so you can get creative!

My Daughter and I- Veggie Egg Scramble 1

Veggie Egg Scramble 

8 large eggs
1 cup cubed butternut squash
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped white or red onion
1 cup cubed zucchini
2 cups chopped spinach
3 or 4 T feta cheese

In a large skillet, add about 1 T of oil, whatever you like to use. We’ve recently started using coconut oil. I was worried that the flavor might be too strong for my taste, but it’s not. I don’t even notice it once it is cooked.
Add the onions, red bell peppers and butternut squash. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper over the top and cook until the butternut squash is slightly softened. Add the zucchini and cook a bit more and then add the chopped spinach and cook for just a couple minutes, it will wilt down quite a bit. While the veggies are finishing up, start cracking the eggs into a bowl and mix with a fork. Pour over the top of the veggies and stir. Cook until the eggs are ready. Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top of the cooked eggs and give it one more stir. That’s it. This makes 4 servings. We served ours with toast and avocado and a bit of green salsa. Enjoy!
