My stepson, Hunter, and our grandkids, Bella and Owen, came down yesterday for a visit, so I left all the decorations out and made a quick and easy brunch for us all to enjoy! Alex liked it and said he hoped I got a picture of everything, and I was glad he said that because I did decide to stop and take some photos.
I love making a good old-fashioned sausage breakfast casserole since it’s assembled the night before, and all you have to do is pop it into the oven the next morning.
Using a vintage Christmas tree cookie cutter, I made Brown Sugar Shortbread.
This Betty Crocker Toffee Bar recipe is one I’ve made before. So quick and easy and sooo good!
I’d already made ambrosia, so I scooped some into these mini glasses for a nice presentation.
And just so the boys wouldn’t go hungry, I made mini and larger-size ham biscuits (well, Bisquick biscuits; I was going for easy).
Didn’t want the guys to use the ladylike tea and toast sets, so they got ceramic dishes from Martha Stewart.
Bella and I used these Salem China tea and toast sets that I found last year—the first time they’ve been used—and I think they're so cute and cheerful.
Here's another view. We happily sipped our Earl Gray from them!
We had a great time visiting with these three!
But the biggest news of the day: Bella, who is about to turn sixteen, just got her first set of wheels, so it was a Merry Christmas indeed!
Oh, I love your vintage tablecloth, and your brunch looks delicious. I helped my daughter make ambrosia - it is a labor of love indeed, but was greatly enjoyed. It's been a crazy few days around here (extreme cold, canceled flights, etc.) but we celebrated Christ's birth anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat is a festive table! We were too lazy to even bring out our Christmas dishes this year. I’m so glad you like the cotton candy! Happy New Year! - Cara
ReplyDeleteLove your festive table. Everything looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like such a wonderful Christmas brunch! It's great that you got to celebrate with that part of your family. in such a festive way. Mmmm, I could sure use one of those ham biscuits right now!
ReplyDeleteEverything is just lovely, Angela. Know your family enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a festive celebration. For some reason the ambrosia looked so refreshing. I haven't made a breakfast casserole in years, but maybe I should.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous brunch for your family, Angela. Your table, dishes, and all your food looked amazing. Happy New Year to you.
