wilkes

I am DEFINATELY tryin' the first one with the fruit. It sound DEVINE! Thanks!

The first receipe is one of the most interesting tastes you will have. If you don't like raspberries you can increase the strawberries and blueberries or substitute diced, sweetened peaches.

1
loaf white bread

16
ounces cream cheese

1
cup blueberries

1
cup strawberries

1
cup raspberries

12
eggs

2
cups milk

1/3
cup honey

1
teaspoon cinnamon

1/2
teaspoon nutmeg

Trim crusts off the bread and cut into cubes.

Cut cream cheese into i/2 inch cubes.
Spray a 13x9 inch baking pan with non stick baking spray.
Arrange 1/2 of bread cubes in the bottom of the pan.
Top with 1/2 of the cream cheese cubes, mixing the layers somewhat (you do not want smooth layers).
Mix all berries together and pour on top.
Top with remaining cream cheese and then ending with remaining bread cubes.
In large bowl beat together remaining ingredients.
Pour entire mixture on top.
This can be frozen as is or baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then frozen. Be sure to wrap and label before freezing.
To reheat:
from raw: thaw in fridge overnight then bake as directed above.
from baked: cover with oven proof lid and bake at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until completely warmed through.
Serve with your favourite syrup.

The old standby Breakfast Casserole

8
large eggs, beaten

1
lb sausage, ham, bacon, canadian bacon, or any other type meat you like, browned and drained

2
cups grated cheddar cheese or cheese, of choice

1
can mushroom stems and pieces

1/2
cup chopped sweet onions

1/2
cup chopped bell peppers, (colored peppers are nice for Christmas but can use diced, canned pimentos

1
cup milk

3
slices whole wheat or French bread, cubed

1
can cream of mushroom soup


salt and pepper to taste

The night before: Mix all ingredients as and place in a 13x9x2 inch casserole dish that has been sprayed with oil.

Place in refrigerator.
Morning: Remove dish from refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cook for 1 hour or until lightly browned.

Now, this is the time to purchase and use disposable pans. At Christmas, or when guests are around, you don't want to be in the kitchen scrubbing cheesy dishes.
