Redawna, I love brunch! I've got a few recipes I can contribute! Oh, I sent you a PM too with a question. TTYL

Pineapple French Toast Casserole

1 15 oz Can Crushed Pineapple

¼ Cup Heavy Cream

1 tsp Vanilla

3 eggs - beaten

3-5  ½ inch slices of Ciabatta Bread

½ Stick Butter – melted

2 Tbsp Cinnamon Sugar

½ Cup Heavy Cream

3 Tbsp Sugar

Mix thoroughly together the pineapple, cream, vanilla and eggs and pour into a greased 9x9 casserole dish.  Dip bread slices in butter and lay on top of the pineapple mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes or until top is a deep golden brown. Remove from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes. While casserole is baking, beat heavy cream, gradually adding sugar, until stiff peaks form.  When serving the casserole, top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with a bit more of the cinnamon sugar if desired.

Peel, core and slice an apple and add it with the pineapple.

Try peaches! Just crush them before mixing with the other ingredients.

If you don’t have, or can’t find ciabatta bread, I’ve used regular white sandwich bread with great success.

Bacon Pizza Squares

6 slices bacon
1/3 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/3 cup onion, chopped
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust
3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Method:
Preheat oven 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
Crumble bacon into a medium-size mixing bowl. Mix in bell pepper, tomatoes, and basil. In a separate small bowl, combine mayonnaise and garlic.
Roll pizza crust into a 12x15 inch rectangular baking sheet. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the bacon mixture over the mayonnaise, and top the entire pizza with cheese.
Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Cool and cut the pizza into 24 squares.

SOUTHWEST SAUSAGE BAKE
(From Barbara Waddel, Taste of Home magazine)
(A great breakfast casserole)

6 flour tortillas (10") cut into 1/2" strips
4 cans (4 oz each) chopped green chilies, drained
1 lb bulk pork sausage, cooked and drained
2 cups (8 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese (I've used cheddar)

1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp of each- salt, garlic salt, onion salt, pepper and ground cumin
Paprika
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
Sour cream and salsa

In a greased 13" x 9" baking dish, layer half of the tortilla strips, chilies, sausage, and cheese. Repeat layers. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk and seasoning; pour over cheese. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake uncovered at 350 for 50 minutes. Arrange tomato slices over the top. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with sour cream and salsa. Yield: 12 servings.
Note: Easily cuts in 1/2

This is Patty's recipe.

And this is Leat's recipe!

Hi all.  Our meeting at church on Saturday went very well (so they tell me).  There was plenty of food and our speaker was wonderful!  I'm actually still a bit tired from all the stress and activity, but there is no rest for the wicked and the righteous don't need it!  Graduation announcements have to go out today, DS#2 needs an emergency dental visit, home schooling DD continues, grocery shopping, and I may have to go to foster son's school to discuss a spot of trouble he's in.  

The church embarrassed me by singing happy birthday on Sunday during the service.  I was really not expecting that and I looked like a deer caught in the headlights!  DH was sick (he hardly ever gets sick...) so I went out to lunch with a couple of gals from church.  We went to Baker's Square.  Do you have these where you are?  Well, the food isn't very good.  I've only eaten there 3 times and it was bad every time.  But we had fun anyway!  Went shopping but didn't buy anything.  That's OK.  DS#1 gave me a Big Lots gift card (he works there), so I'll find something eventually.

 Have a great day everyone!
