    I Love this list, Jelli! I’m pinning it for myself because I always need new ideas. We usually have my mom’s homemade cinnamon rolls–which ROCK–but I think we need a little more substance like some eggs and definitely fruit. I’m checking out Guacamole Tostadas with Sweet Potatoes and Fried Eggs & the Christmas Morning Casserole for sure!
    Thanks!

      Cinnamon rolls are top on my list for special breakfasts too, Keri. I can’t get enough of them. This recipe is my fave, but I’m game for new recipes to try too…Any chance you’ll be sharing your mom’s recipe soon? Hope you try a few of the new breakfast ideas soon.

    I love this list! We always go to my parents’ house on Christmas Day. Since my kidswake up at “dark-o’clock” to open gifts, when we get to my parents’ house its time for breakfast. My mother always makes cranberry scones. So delicious. Now i’m looking forward to Christmas Day even more. Thanks for this list! 🙂

      I had to giggle reading “dark-o’-clock.” My kids are programmed to that hour every morning, it seems. Cranberry orange white chip scones are my absolute favorite, so I’ll bet I’d love breakfasting with your family at Christmas. Thank you so much for stopping by today, Julie!

    So many delicious sounding recipes! My kids are the kind that want to eat while opening presents, so I’m lucky if I get enough time to stick some cinnamon rolls in the oven! The overnight french toast sounds like it might work if I can hold the troops off with a bowl of cereal first!

      Cereal as an appetizer sounds like the perfect way to gain time for breakfast making! Who wouldn’t love a double breakfast (or should we call it brunch?) on Christmas morning, right? Thank you for visiting, Leslie.
