Heart & Keeper Christmas Breakfast at Ruth and Katie's

Everything was all decorated and ready for us!

The Merry Christmas blocks on top of the mirror

 were something Ruth made with her Dad when she young!

We had a drawing for a beautiful Christmas lantern and it went to PAM!

His birth - the JOY for the season! 

The table was set,

The centerpiece beautifully placed.

There were gifts to be given!!

So nice to be together!!

And just in time to make for your Christmas morning breakfast.

Here's the recipe you were all asking for:

Hash Brown Quiche

ingredients - 

3 C. loose - pack frozen hash browns, thawed

1/3 C. butter melted

6-8 oz. diced, cooked ham

8 oz. mild cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 C. milk or Half n Half

3 eggs

1/4 tsp. seasoned salt

optional - 1/4 c. chopped tomato,

1/4 c. sliced green onions

Directions - 

Press hash browns between paper towels to remove moisture.  

Press in a 9" pie plate to form a crust.

Drizzle melted butter over crust and bake at 425 degrees for 20 min. 

Remove from oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees.

In a bowl mix the remaining ingredients together.

Pour mixture into pie plate over crust.

Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.

Let stand 10 minutes before serving.  

You can substitute any meat and veggies for this recipe.

Originally from TJ

A last minute VERY EASY wrapping idea straight from Apple Farm:

You'll need a brown bag, tissue and twine.

Take your gift and put it in your tissue, nestle it into your bag.

Tie with twine, you could easily attach an ornament or pine boughs too.

Simple and quick!

How about a cute little place to tuck a small gift?

Take a empty plastic pill bottle

and embellish with scrap paper, rhinestones, charms etc. 

Just adhere with use glue gun, glue stick or decoupage.
If you want to hang on the tree just glue ribbon to the lid.

Lovely!

I was showing everyone something I've added to my journaling this year -
pictures, text from facebook and some email snippets!
It makes it all much more personal and refreshes my mind
to all the Lord's done and is doing.

Thanking the Lord for all of YOU!
