I added these Wilton Silicone Donut Pans to my Christmas wish list with the hope of future baked donuts. Thankfully my sister got them for me I started searching for recipes across the internet and noticed how similar most of them were. As I usually do, I mixed some recipes together and came up with these Easy Baked Donuts with Simple Maple Glaze. The glaze doesn’t have to be maple, you can change the flavor to suit your liking.

I made the entire lasagna Christmas morning. I think in the future I will prep the ingredients in advance and just assemble and bake the lasagna right before we are ready to eat it because prep takes 30-40 minutes. you have to cook the bacon, then the hash browns, and lastly the eggs. Everything gets heated in the oven so refrigerating them overnight shouldn’t be a problem. If you don’t want to do the eggs ahead of time, you could do that morning of as it is the least time consuming part.

For 25+ years our family Christmas celebration started at 10am. There would be fruit and something sweet like monkey bread or cinnamon rolls, as well as lots of Christmas cookies to nibble on while we were opening presents. Last year my sister, who currently hosts Christmas, moved the start time to noon!

That seemed way too late to me so I invited the kids over for Christmas breakfast at 9:30am before we made the 30 minute drive to my sister’s house. Aaron & Summer couldn’t come, they spent their morning with Summer’s family. Jordan and Savannah came and we had bacon, eggs, and a Cinnamon Sugar Dutch Baby. It was a huge hit and a nice way to start off our Christmas Day.

I’m hoping to do that again. Summer and Aaron probably won’t be able to come since they are planning a busy Christmas Eve with Summer’s family and with 2 young foster children in their care, life is smoother when the daily schedule isn’t upset too much. Hopefully Jordan and Savannah will be able to join us again this year. As I started my search for a new Christmas Breakfast Treat, I decided to reach out to my fellow bloggers for some help. I hope you find something new to try as well.

These muffins are super easy to make, as long as you have a mini-muffin pan. I use this one all the time. It’s the perfect size and easy to clean when you are done baking.

My mini chocolate chip muffins are so moist you don’t even need to spread butter on them. This is a plus since they are so small. practically bite size. They are great for kid’s snacks too.

This easy mini chocolate chip muffin recipe requires pantry staples-flour, sugar, salt baking powder, milk, vegetable oil, an egg, sugar, and brown sugar. The only non-staple for me is the mini semi sweet chocolate chips. I usually have the regular size on hand but not the mini chips. To make this recipe even easier I use a small cookie scoop to portion out the dough.

Local kids invited to “fuel up” with a balanced meal before the big exam on Monday, April 11. For the second consecutive year, more than 800 McDonald’s restaurants across the state of Florida will provide a free breakfast to students on the first day of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Local students in grades 3 through 11 will receive a complimentary Egg McMuffin®, Apple Dippers and a low-fat milk or orange juice at any participating McDonald’s location on Monday, April 11 between 6 and 9am.*

“Whether students eat at home, at their school or at McDonald’s, it’s important to have a well-balanced breakfast every morning” said Cindy Goody, PhD, the Senior Director of Nutrition for McDonald’s USA. Dr. Goody, a registered and licensed dietitian, says a wholesome breakfast that includes food groups like fruit, whole grains and low-fat milk or lean protein helps children meet daily nutritional needs, while providing much-needed energy to start the day.

As local business leaders and parents themselves, McDonald’s 120 Florida franchise owners are committed to contributing to the well-being of children in their communities. In 2010, more than 190,000 students across the state – including over 40,000 in the greater Tampa Bay area alone – enjoyed a free McDonald’s breakfast prior to taking the FCAT on March 9.

If parents are unable to bring their children to McDonald’s, many local schools also serve free breakfast throughout the week of testing. For more information, parents are encouraged to check with their local school districts.

*Disclaimer: This breakfast offer is available in-store at participating McDonald’s restaurants in Florida on Monday, April 11 only. Valid while supplies last. No substitutions or group redemptions are permitted. Students under the age of 15 must be present and accompanied by a parent to redeem the offer.
