•In the Kitchen What Will Your Kids Eat
Christmas Morning? By Marcia Passos-Duffy
H
ave you given any thought to what your family will eat Christmas morning? If you’re like most people, a Christmas breakfast plan may never make it to your “to do” list ... especially if you’re cooking for a houseful of people for an early afternoon feast. If you’re lucky, an unceremonious bowl of cereal is the usual fare. And by the time your Christmas turkey rolls out of the oven, your family is starving, cranky and running only on Santa cookies and adrenaline. This year, with a little planning, you can make an easy and hearty breakfast that will keep your family going until the “big” meal. These recipes can be made ahead on Christmas Eve (okay, you’re busy enough on the 24th, but these are quick!), refrigerated and quickly prepared on Christmas morning.
