MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
I think I just gained 10 pounds!!! That all looks so wonderful. Yum! Thank you for all your hard work! I love the Christmas pizzas!! What a great idea! This brunch has been so nice. Thank you!
This brunch has been wonderful! Although I must say I’ve had to catch up in spurts trying to keep off the computer during the holiday season, but I’ve enjoyed reading them all! Question on your vanilla soother – being pregnant, I’m leary about eating things with uncooked eggs – does this “cook” them enough to feel safe? Or is that not really something I should worry about – our eggs come from our own chickens so I’m not worried about them in general – just uncooked. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Looks delicious!
That fudge looks amazing! Thank you for sharing all of this. Merry Christmas!
Everything looks so good. Thank you for sharing with us.
Yummy! Thanks for having us over for the brunch :-) You’re a gracious hostess! I think the Christmas Pizza is going on the menu this afternoon. Have a great Christmas!
Oh so delicious looking! Glad I could attend your brunch :-)
Thank you for a very fun week of recipes and ideas. I hope you make this an annual tradition!
I’ve had my eye on that fudge sauce recipe for a while now. I think it’s time to take the plunge. Have a great Christmas Eve! Thanks so much for all you do!

Christmas, brunch and buffet are three words that shouldn’t be separated! :)
How fun this brunch was! Thanks!!!
Thanks for all your posts on the brunch! It’s so great to have new recipes to try out!
I would love to try some of these recipes!
Enjoyed the brunch! The black bean and corn salsa is calling my name, I love that stuff!! Merry Christmas!
I’m making your orange cream cookies today!
This has been nice. I’ve only gotten around to making a couple different cookies, but we’ll be enjoying the egg casserole tomorrow! We absolutely loved the orange cream cheese cookies. I had to make them into cookie sandwiches so the icing wouldn’t get all over the containers. You forgot to add the Peppernuts to your list! We LOVE the peppernuts! I still plan to make the chocolate snowballs sometime. We need a rest from all the sweets, as we are so used to not eating many. I’m so glad I found this website, you cook the way I do, but with new, and many better, ideas! Thank you!
Yum! Great inspiration for a day of baking! Thank you!
Christmas Pizza are such a great idea!
I have been looking for a good hot fudge sause recipe! Thank you!

CHRISTmas is certainly about more than food; however, food treats are wonderful blessings to those around you. Thank you for some great suggestions.
Merry CHRISTmas to your family!

Those all look so yummy! We’re planning to make your monkey bread recipe for Christmas breakfast, although I think we’ll end up actually making it tonight and reheating it tomorrow morning. Merry Christmas!
Oh yum… I wish I could make that fudge! Sigh, dairy-free/egg-free/nut-free diet!!
The orange cream cheese cookies sound so good…remind me of the orange rolls we eat every holiday…
Can white chocolate sub in for chips in the pb and honey fudge (caffeine restricted here)? Might have to experiment…

Someday I will be this ambitious! Thank you for the ideas – I love having ideas stashed away for yummy goodies to give as gifts.
I did make your breakfast casserole (with cheese and bacon) and the cinnamony muffins for our Christmas breakfast. My husband loved it! It may be our new tradition. :-)
I needed some breakfast ideas and you have saved me. Thanks…applesauce bread and the egg casserole tomorrow!!!
Merry Christmas!!! The gingerbread men turned out GREAT. Everyone really enjoyed the little men.
Wow! That looks so delicious! I’m coming over!
I giggled about those Christmas tree pizzas! They’re so cute. Bet your boys gobbled them up.
Very cute dessert items…but they don’t turn out too hard, do they?
