My favorite Christmas breakfast dish is simple and easy to make and oh so satisfying! It feels light and airy but still somehow filling and leaves room for Christmas dinner later.
This is often served as dessert however the cranberries and egg filling checks the box for me for breakfast food and I am usually too full after Christmas dinner for dessert!

I just harvested the last basket of zucchini squash from the garden with some fresh parsley and decided to make one of my favorite quick and easy recipes - Zucchini Patties!
These are so easy to make and they are perfect for a quick dinner or they are great for breakfast as well.
Rosehips are the fruit of the rose flower. Most people are familiar with and understand how touse rose petals but are not so familiar with rosehips.
If a rose is left on the plant and not picked, it is fertilized by pollinators and the petals will fall away. The base of the flower then swells and develops its "fruit" which will look like a pod.
It is usually a soft peach color or can be pink during the hot months but once the frost hits the fruit it becomes a beautiful crimson color. This is when the "hip" is ready to be eaten.
If you need to beat the heat these popsicles are the perfect solution!
