Christmas Breakfast

The Holidays present some challenges for menus. Most families with young children get up early to open presents.  So what do you prepare for a chaotic morning? Some ideas include the usual pancakes and waffles.  Or you could have some Cinnamon Rolls or even a coffee cake to tide everyone over until lunch or dinner.  For those who don't have young ones try a Fritatta or a Strata.  Easy to do and you can use almost anything in them.

A Strata is basically a savor bread pudding.  You can use meats like sausage or ham or chicken sausage in them there are several great recipes on line for these.  The best part is that you make them the night before and pop them in the fridge.  Then when you get up they go in the oven. 

My cookbook has a great recipe for Cinnamon rolls too.

So what do you do?
