Mother’s Day Breakfast Recipes
Sausage and Potato Breakfast Casserole
In the event that you, like me, gravitate toward breakfast casseroles with eggs, then this recipe’s for you. Not that there’s anything wrong with eggs – I love them! But I found this sausage and potato breakfast casserole a delicious and hearty new option. My husband and I love sharp cheddar cheese to be sure. However, feel free to switch to a favorite cheese of your choice or a favorite blend. Since my husband is diabetic, I’m looking forward to trying chopped cauliflower in place of the potatoes. Let us know in the comments below about any substitutions or additions you make and how you like them.

My favorite store. Even though I live in California every time I come back in Michigan I make it a point to come in and purchase way too much. L O L if I lived in Frankenmuth, I would try and get a job there., Because I love Christmas.
I just love your ornaments. I received a few as gifts and display them proudly. I am always asked where I received them and I refer them to Bonners.

I want to try the lemon poppy bread!
These recipes are making my mouth water! Everything looks so delicious, especially the lemon poppy seed bread. As far as the sausage and egg bake, I’m not really a sausage person. I prefer bacon, so I’d make that substitution. Thank you for the chance to win one of the macrame’ water bottle holders.
You can’t go wrong with bacon!
It’s delicious!
Looks yummy, can’t wait to make these with my mom!
Definitely trying the apple fritter recipe. Thanks!
