Food IS love made tangible... it is a gift that meets the needs of the soul as well as the body. I have found that preparing and presenting food with great care is worth the effort....creating an atmosphere that warmly invites guests to linger. As Julia Child said, "Nothing is too much trouble, if it turns out as it should."

Breakfast Casserole

There's a plethora of recipes online for breakfast casseroles.... and I have gotten a couple from friends, as well.  This is a very easy and crowd-pleasing version from cooks.com.   I recently served it to guests for brunch, along with homemade applesauce (with a few strawberries mixed in). 
 
1# sausage
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
6 eggs
1 3/4 cup milk
6-8 slices of bread, cubed
salt and pepper

Place cubed bread in lightly greased 9x11" casserole dish.  Top with browned sausage.  Add cheese.  In a separate bowl, beat eggs and milk and a bit of salt and pepper.  Pour over top.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.  I topped the casserole with chives.  The finished product serves 8-10, and you will be asked to share your recipe!
