breakfast and dinners needed

25 years ago

My grandmother is having a bunch of company coming to stay in a couple weeks and I offered to help. I need some ideas of things we can freeze for supper, Id like chicken pies for sure, no pasta please since my grandfather wont eat it and my granmother only eats poultry and fish so red meat must be improvised with turkey sausage or burger etc. (now you know why I need help) Also breakfasts that can be made a day ahead would also be helpful. Thanks,.

Oh Lets see, Cook off a whole chicken, and then..
Chicken corn soup, chicken pot pie, or chicken and biscuits,
marinade the chicken breasts, throw on the grill when ready,
Turkey- cutlets, mixed up, and breaded, ready to go. Turkey BBQ- shred the meat, add sauce or whatever.YOu could get some nice fillets, (fish) season w/ lemon pepper, and tiny bit of marg. bake or grill.
As far as breakfast: quiche, or breakfast casserole use ham or turkey sausage.
I wouln't get to fancy- how about serve yourself- get some bagels, cream cheese( flavored if you like) granola, yogurt, and an assortment of cereals, add coffee, juice and your set. YOu can make yourself really crazy , but remember your grandparents guests are not coming just to eat, and will probable be very happy with whatever is served. Good luck!

Right off the top of my head I would suggest chicken fajitas. Cook them ahead on the grill and freeze them and then when ready to serve just pop them out and serve witn the lettuce tomatoes etc. Add a pot of beans or do a pan of mexican rice ahead and freeze it.

This is my favorite recipe for holiday breakfasts! I also take it to morning social functions at church. So easy and always a hit. I serve it with a fruit salad which can also be made the night before. I'll check back in case you have any questions. SEMI-HOMEMADE STICKY BUNS INGREDIENTS: 1 cup pecan halves or pieces 1 cup raisins 2 loaves frozen white bread dough, thawed (in the frozen pie & cake aisle) Â½ cup melted butter Two 3oz. boxes vanilla pudding mix (cook & serve - NOT instant!) 1 cup brown sugar 2 tsp. cinnamon 2 Tlbs. milk DIRECTIONS: Grease 13" x 9" pan. Sprinkle pecans and raisins evenly in bottom of pan. Tear thawed (it will have risen somewhat) dough into walnut sized pieces and place in a single layer in pan covering pecans and raisins. Melt butter over medium high heat. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well combined and heated through. Pour hot liquid over dough. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight (it will have risen a lot!). In the morning, preheat oven to 350. Remove foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and invert onto a serving platter immediately (this is a good job for a husband with big strong hands). Serve warm or cool.

It's just food, food, food all day! For breakfast, we always have an egg and sausage casserole, a jazzed up hashbrown casserole, ham biscuits and garlic cheese grits (with jalapenos -- Yum!) Fruit will be something very simple like cantaloupe wedges or fresh pineapple. I may or may not get around to making muffins or French toast fingers since sweets aren't a high priority with my crew, particularly early in the day. As some leave to go to 'the other' family's house, and others wander in for the first time, we sort of gradually segue into the brunch phase. I'll add their favorite Cajun crab spread with toasted garlic rounds and a dip or two to the buffet. Once the biscuits are gone, we'll bake some rolls for the ham. I make a super-spicy mustard sauce that my children adore and an herb-flavored mayonnaise so everybody can put together mini-sandwiches. There's always some sort of seafood -- usually poached shrimp with cocktail sauce since it's so easy to do ahead -- and a couple of salads (broccoli and pasta are the faves). Oh, and Bloody Marys to help the cook forget how bad her feet are hurting at this point... By the time everybody who had to leave has returned and we've all worked up a little bit of an appetite again, it's usually 7:30 or so. Our dinner menu varies a little, but this year we'll have Boston Clam Chowder as a starter. (Gift from a dear friend who feels sooo sorry for her poor, deprived Southern pal who didn't grow up eating this. lol) Spinach salad with poppy seed dressing. Beef tenderloin, if I can afford it. If many extras are going to turn up, it will be prime rib instead. A green vegetable TBD, and a potato gratin. Dessert will be Italian cheesecake with a strawberry/Grand Marnier topping -- not that anybody will have room for it, but you have to have one, right?

We woke up to a light rain this morning. It's got a nip in the air and got up to 62 degrees. We liked it! :0) Very hearty and I put hot sauce over mine. 3 lbs potatoes, diced(small) & boiled, skins on 1 lb bulk breakfast sausage 1 cup diced raw onion 6 eggs 1 Tbl flour 1/2 lb grated cheddar cheese Seasoning salt & pepper to taste Fry the sausage, drain any grease off & add onions in a skillet until fully cooked. Press the potatoes into a 13 x 9 casserole dish. Spoon the sausage mixture over the potatoes. In a large mixing bowl whisk eggs, flour, salt & pepper. Pour over casserole, distribute the grated cheese over the top. Cover with foil. Bake 1 hour @ 400 degrees. This post was edited by nicole__ on Wed, Sep 10, 14 at 21:10

Breakfast for dinner
Q

I will make crêpes for dinner, but seldom for breakfast. I fill the crêpes with salmon, or chicken and mushrooms, and bake them with a velouté sauce. I almost never make dessert crêpes, and I otherwise never make breakfast for dinner. I don't even like breakfast for breakfast that much, but I do like leftover dinner for breakfast. The closest cross-over dishes I might consider for both breakfast and dinner are quiches and frittata, but I never make them for any meal later than lunch or brunch. I think frittata could be a side dish for dinner, but not a main dish. I've never had or served quiche for dinner, but I like it for brunch.

Muffins are easy to make and freeze. These are lifesavers for breakfasts and snacks. Here is an easy recipe for "breakfast cookies" as well:

2 C. "Jiffy" Baking mix
1 lb. turkey sausage
2/3 C. milk
12 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease lightly a cookie sheet.
2. Mix all ingredients together.
3. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto cookie sheet.
4. Bake about 20 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet.
5. Place on paper towel. Refrigerate or freeze in covered
container.

Good luck,

Some ideas: Mexican chicken casserole, chicken and dressing casserole, chicken and dumplin's, breakfast burritos, blueberry pancakes, chili, Cavender's chicken, the list can on and on. You could also bake some tuna and have tuna steaks one night and flake the left overs for tuna salad. ( some of these recipes are for larger quanities) I cook for a family of 5.

some recipes follow:

You can also make up a batch of scratch buttermilk buscuits and freeze those, I usually make up my buscuits and then lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze and then remove and place in ziplocks.... when I am ready to cook, I just place them on a pan and bake..... I do not thaw mine, (hubby thaws his)

Mexican casserole:

3 cups of chicken cubed
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can rotel
6 - 8 american cheese slices
4 - 6 pepperjack cheese slices
1 bag of chips (Dorito's or just nacho cheese tortilla chips)

Layer chips on bottom of casserole dish
Mix: chicken, soups, and rotel
pour in pan, layer cheese on top and then add more chips to cover soup mix. cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 - 30 minutes then remove foil and bake another 5 minutes or until chips are browned. If I am going to freeze this, I usually Do not add the chips and cheese until ready to cook. I just layer soup mix in bottom of pan and cover with foil and freeze..

Blueberry pancakes:

(you can make these up ahead of time and freeze in ziplocks, you can pop them in the toaster or microwave)

1 part pancake mix ( scratch or boxed)
1 package of Martha White's blueberry muffin mix
add milk according to both packages)
cook up and freeze. I usually do this on a weekend and have enough to last kids all week. ( this is also great for a gift in a jar mix)

Cavender's Grilled Chicken Salad

3 cups of cubed chicken
place in skillet with some Pam or some butter
saute in Cavender's greek seasoning until done
Place over bed of greens and Ranch dressing.......

Breakfast Burritos:
flour tortilla's
1 dozen scrammbled eggs
1 package of sausage
1 package of shredded cheese

layer on tortilla and sprinke with cheese. Quick and easy breakfast.

Chocolate gravy and buscuits:

1/4 cup of cocoa
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of flour
1 tsp vanilla
butter
mix cocoa, sugar and flour together, add milk to obtain a creamy base, start cooking on med. heat, continue to add milk as it thickens until you reach desired consistency....
when done, add vanilla, and a lump of butter, serve over buscuits.

Hope this helps, Yvette
