Wife Saver Breakfast

Good evening friends, well since Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it can be a busy time with family and friends I thought I  would share one of my kids favorite breakfast recipes.  I like it because it frees up my time so I'm not in the kitchen all morning. 
Now with this recipe you make it the night before, cover with saran wrap and put in the fridge till morning.  It is so easy to make as little or as much as you want. 
All depends on the size of the appetites!
Wife Saver Breakfast
So here we go......
In a greased 9x13 pan cover with bread cubes half way up dish. Add a layer of cubed ham, mushrooms, layer of grated
cheddar cheese.
 In a blender add 12 eggs, 3/4 cup milk, 2 tbsp parsley,
2 tbsp oregano, 1 tsp dry mustard, 1/2 tsp pepper.
Pour evenly over dish then cover with saran wrap put in the fridge and forget about it till morning.
Preheat oven to 350 
Now you have a couple of options for a topping you can layer crushed Corn Flakes or a layer of Rice Krispies.
Melt 2 1/2 tbsp margarine, drizzle all over.
Bake 45 min.

 

And it's done!

If you like sweets like my hubby does then try it with 

Maple Syrup, he absolutely loves the sweet with the savory.

Sweet Potato Balls

 I saw this recipe on Pinterest and thought it looked interesting, so I decided to try it one evening. I would serve these with a Chinese dinner or as a dessert as they  taste like a sweet doughnut. I could not stop at 1 or even 2.....
 they are very addictive! Yummy!!

 Ingredients:

1 lb sweet potatoes

1/2 cup rice flour

3/4 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

Peel and cut potatoes place in a pot, cover with water.

Cook till tender.

Mash and add ingredients. 

Pinch a little dough roll between palms to form a  1 inch diameter ball. Dough should be soft not sticky, add more rice flour if needed.

Fill a medium size sauce pan with 1 to 2 inches of oil. 

Heat to medium high.

I used a deep fryer, when sweet potatoes rise and are golden they are done.

Happy Cooking!

Getting Crafty

 If you have ever planned a wedding then you know how many little details there are to take care of and how costly it can become. Our daughter wanted their reception in our back yard so that meant getting to work sproosing up the gardens.

 We went on the hunt for all kinds of glass jugs and bottles  to paint and decorate to use for center pieces and decorations.

 We displayed wedding pictures of parents and grandparents from both sides of the family's
 

 Instead of the traditional photo booth we strung pictures of both the bride and groom starting with baby pictures on up and through their courtship. Keeping with the picture theme we provided two Polaroid cameras for guests to take pictures, they were a big hit!

   We decorated with chock board signs

 Wine bottles wrapped in jute lined the isles at the ceremony.

 Everyone in the family worked hard to get things done.... even our son in-law to be. He really did an awesome job he built two pergolas one so "we" ya lol..... so he could string lights from the deck on the house to it. Which he also did.

 My son in-law also made this beautiful light to hang in the other pergola. We had this wagon wheel  light fixture hanging around for quite some time, just waiting to be transformed for a special occasion.
 

 Signs were cut down from pallets, painted and decorated.

 Beverage dispensers with chalk board labels, mauve and sea foam green drinking jars.

 There was something for everyone to do. The grooms dad made a life size Jenga game.

 For the little ones to keep them busy we provided coloring books, bubbles and chalk to draw on the cement.
 

 Thanks for letting me share our family's special day with you.
