25 Christmas Breakfast Ideas & ‘Your Great Idea’ Link Party
Every year for Christmas, we have my in-laws over for breakfast and present opening. It’s so fun to have grandparents join in on the fun and to share a yummy meal with us. It’s especially fun that we don’t have to leave our house. Yay! The kids get to play with their presents all morning. Mom and Dad get to recover from a long night. And, finally when evening comes, we head out to my family’s house for Christmas dinner. I love our set-up. Love it, love it, love it! Anyway, I get excited every year to plan a scrumptious, but not too time consuming, Christmas breakfast. In the past, I’ve done bread puddings, omelets, biscuits and gravy, and cinnamon rolls. I haven’t decided what to do this year, but I’m starting to think about it. So, today I have 25 Christmas Breakfast Ideas for you… hopefully, it will help us both out!
Peppermint Creme Brulee ~ The Perfect Christmas Dessert!
So, on our recent Disney Cruise (did you read about it?? If you ever want to go on one, check it out!) I became obsessed with Creme Brulee. I thought I wasn’t a fan of it. But oh, I was. I was. I just didn’t know it yet. I literally ordered Creme Brulee for dessert every single night!
When I got the assignment to do something ‘peppermint,’ I was having a hard time. I had already shared a favorite Peppermint White Chocolate Trifle, so… what to make, what to make. I called my mom, who is a cooking extraordinaire, and she suggested Peppermint Creme Brulee. It turned out awesome, if I do say so myself.
Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting (she: Ruthie)
Happy November to y’all at Or so she says I’m in a bit of denial this year about the Holidays… what happened? A whole year gone. It’s time to get in the swing of it and what better way than to get some Holiday Baking going on in the kitchen? This Spice Cake with Cream…
Mint Cocoa Krispie Treats (she: Cathy)
Hey,’ Or so she says …’ friends! It’s Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling, and I’m so excited to be back with you today… sharing my first Christmas post! In my world, as soon as Halloween is over, the holiday season might as well be here! I start planning our Thanksgiving menu, picking out Christmas presents,…
Tin Roof Sundae Pie (she: Jana)
“We’re Thankful for Pie Night!” It’s okay to be thankful for pie, right? It makes everything in the world good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself!
We celebrate Pie Night on Thanksgiving Eve (Wednesday night) because, honestly after a big nice Thanksgiving dinner who has any room left for pie? This way we can have all the pie we want & then will still be hungry for Thanksgiving dinner the next day. Win, win I tell ya! We have every family invited bring their favorite pie & then we go to town. If we’re not with family for Thanksgiving we have a nice Pie Night at our home with our friends. Such a great tradition!!

Bonnie’s 4-Ingredient Soft Pretzels
So, I recently shared a recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup and I promised that I would share the soft pretzel recipe that was in the picture. Today’s the day. I’ve already bragged about my sister-in-law, Bonnie, who is one of the many that supply me with delicious recipes, but this is another one of hers. (Other Bonnie recipes: Gingerbread Crumb Cake, Favorite Cinnamon Rolls, and Death by Special K) I first had these soft pretzels at a family gathering. She served them with a big pot of soup, and I had to have the recipe… along with everyone else. I love how there are only four ingredients and they’re all things I have on hand. Plus, the kids loved helping out on this one, shaping their own pretzel, painting on melted butter, salting…
Apple Banana Bread (she: Ruthie)
Hi to all my friends at Or so she says… I’m so happy to back again to share another delightful recipe with you.
I love the fall because it’s pretty hard to beat a fresh-off-the-tree apple and of course I find lots of yummy ways to bake them up too!
This recipe has two of my favorite fruits— Apples and Banana’s. I love them both so combining them in a delicious and healthy loaf was a no brainer…
Tips for Starting a Dinner Exchange (she: Allison)
Hello! It’s Allison from Tips for Family Trips. I’m straying from travel this month to share an idea that has made dinner easier for my busy family.
My family’s dinner will be delivered to our house tonight, and not by Pizza Hut. I participate in a dinner exchange with two other families where each of us cooks the same meal for all three families on one night each week. Wednesday is my night to cook. Friday is my family’s pizza night, and we often spend weekends traveling or with extended family. These days, I only cook on two nights each week.
Here are my tips for starting your own dinner exchange:
Broccoli Cheese Soup
So, this recipe has actually been shared on the blog before. I’ve been trying to go through some of my old ones with super crappy pictures and update them, so they actually LOOK good, besides just taste good. I recently updated a great recipe for Chicken Alfredo. Today it’s our favorite Broccoli Cheese Soup. I love making this soup for several reason… 1. I love soup. 2. I love broccoli. 3. I love cheese. 4. It uses REAL cheese. 5. It’s delicious. Five good reasons, I would say. And, now is the perfect time to bust out those soup recipes. Be sure to add this to your collection! (Oh, and 4-ingredient pretzel recipe to come!)
White Chocolate Candy Corn Buckeyes (she: Cathy)
Well….it’s just about that time! Time for Halloween!! Which, around here, means enough candy to last the rest of the year. I don’t know what it is, but for some reason, my kids seem to come home with a bigger haul than I ever remember as a kid! And even though their dad and I go to town on it for a good week or so, there is always enough left over that I am convinced we will never need to buy candy again. And, for a long time, we don’t! Because after the first few weeks of candy-mania, we all tend to lose interest….and whatever is left in the bag is sure to be left there for a long time! But I’m thinking this year might be different. I’m thinking this year I’m going to have some fun with all the candy that’s left come mid-November! Starting with these White Chocolate Candy Corn Buckeyes.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cupcakes (she: Jana)
One of my favorite sweet combinations is peanut butter and chocolate. Whoever first came up with combining them IS A GENIUS! We can’t get enough of it at our house. And these cupcakes are perfect for the chocolate/peanut butter lovers in your life! Honestly, the peanut butter frosting is beyond amazing! So, just know that when you make these you’ll probably end up eating your weight in frosting…you’ll be lucky if there’s any left for the cupcakes!
