Library Brunch Casserole

Image of basket of eggs used from the internet

The other day I walked into the library at school and they were having a breakfast birthday party for the librarian.

It was a very cute idea -- there was coffee, a breakfast casserole and a donut birthday cake!

I resisted everything at the moment . . .

then!

A friend of mine told me, after the party, that the breakfast casserole was absolutely yummy and I needed to take a bite.

So I did.

I don't like hurting people's feelings!

She was right -- it was so yummy!

So I asked the girl who made it for the recipe.

And you know what?

She doesn't like hurting people's feelings either!

She gave me the recipe!

Yeah, her!

She said it's from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook. Those are usually good cookbooks, if you haven't heard of them before. I know the name of the casserole has got be be something different -- but I don't remember, so I renamed it!

Speaking of Gooseberry Patch, here is the website where they post a recipe each week! http://www.gooseberrypatch.com/gooseberry/recipe.nsf/f.recipeweek

Enjoy!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
