THE TWELVE BREAKFASTS OF CHRISTMAS

 

Actually, FOURTEEN but I've always been bad at math! The week before Christmas and after, I treat myself to a different breakfast every morning; each is always served with fresh fruit, usually blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries and tea; delicious varieties of teas such as Wild Berry, Peach, Cinnamon, & Orange Passionfruit Jasmine, just to name a few.

For my holiday breakfasts, one morning it could be buttermilk biscuits with preserves or honey- butter and a week later Brazilian cheese bread. Also, omelets & frittatas can be made in many different creative ways. Plus, I love those Uncrustables from the supermarket for breakfast. My favorite is the honey & peanut butter; but there's always a delicious chocolate stuffed one for the following week! Plus, those tiny pizza cupcakes also make a great breakfast, as well as empanadas and gruyere & green onion croquettes.  

For my Christmas Eve breakfast I love miniature quiches. Then, on Christmas Day I enjoy walnut pancakes, or fig & orange phyllo bites. – The later, as well as most I’ve listed can be found in the frozen food section of the supermarket ready to bake.

And for my New Year's Eve breakfast I delight to raspberry & brie hor de oeuvres. New Year's Day its ginger ale pancakes dusted with powdered sugar.

Come up with your own list to make the holidays extraordinary and remember to be creative! You can diet in January.

If you don’t already own a toaster oven, get one! You’ll save on your electric bill by not having to heat a big oven. And be sure to unplug it when not in use. These days I keep the microwave unplugged when not in use as well.

And my table is always festively decorated to make sure my holidays feel as well as taste special! You can buy plenty of beautifully festive ones at the Dollar Store. – Do this before prices rise again!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
