Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories: Christmas Recipes





Today's topic in the
Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories hosted by Geneabloggers is

CHRISTMAS RECIPES

This is our favorite recipe for Christmas Morning.  It must be made the night ahead, and it makes Christmas morning breakfast both easy and memorable.

My mother, Aileen Greenhalgh Calton, began preparing this as a traditional Christmas morning breakfast.  Many family members now serve this with a cinnamon roll, orange slice, and orange juice, apple juice and/or hot chocolate with marshmallows.  Place it in the oven while the gifts are being opened and breakfast is ready at just the right time.  Aileen obtained the recipe when I was young in a ladies group at church called the Relief Society.  It was in a handout given to each woman.


I contributed this recipe, along with my thoughts on Choosing Traditions Wisely, in Chapter 12 of Jennifer Jone Smith’s book, 12 Weeks to Greater Peace, Joy and Love in Your Family.

I hope you’ll give this recipe a try and start a wonderful tradition at your house, too.
