This is Mrs. Miller’s traditional egg casserole dish served for Christmas brunch.

Another sketchy recipe from Grandma. There are notes: $7.50 for 1 log.

Grandma had a few recipes written down, mostly for her catering business. This is another cheese roll appetizer, but notes are quite sketchy. The names might have been the family she was catering.

Carmina and Eloisa were two young teenage girls from Mexico who stayed with our family for two weeks. We had such a wonderful with them. They loved chocolate chip cookies and we baked them regularly. In turn, they called their mother long distance for the homemade tortilla recipe.

These are a Superbowl party favorite and too good not to make. While not a family recipe, I have made these for family and I guarantee you can’t eat just one!

These muffins are extra large and yummy with a sugary-cinnamon crumb topping. I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top edge for a wonderful, generous-sized deli-style muffin. Add extra blueberries, too, if you want!

Healthy whole grain muffins.

Mom made this quite frequently as a healthy morning muffin. Nutri Grain just as a cereal isn’t available anymore. You could substitute with another whole grain flakes cereal. Adding raisins makes these even more moist and scrumptious…if you like raisins.

A traditional cake for the feast of the Epiphany. This one is New Orleans coffeecake style. A great breakfast bread, also. Use also for Mardi Gras celebrations.

This makes two 9×12 bread rings. Allow plenty of time to roll out, as the dough is very stretchy. The rolling and braiding is a little tricky and time consuming, but it is so delicious and festive, and makes a beautiful presentation. I’ve made this 3 years in a row for our family Epiphany celebration.

Dave’s favorite for Christmas morning.
