Make-Ahead Christmas Morning Cherry & Almond Sweet Rolls

While Christmas morning's main event is usually under the tree, a big holiday family breakfast around the table can add to the magic of the morning as well. And I don't know about the rest of America, but waking up to a yummy breakfast on Christmas morning is a tradition all across the South. However, the last thing most of us want to think about is spending hours in the kitchen on the most anticipated morning of the year! So what's a Texas gal to do? Serve breakfast dishes you can prepare on Christmas Eve and simply pop'em in the oven come Christmas Morning! These sweet rolls can be found on our table along with an ample-sized bowl of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs and some sort of breakfast meat — and I'm a happy girl.

Bacon and Egg Muffins and The BIG DIG!

Today has been a busy one here at Porter Central. Starting early and ending entirely too late. In between, I have washed, dried and put away clothes.....and I think Mr.P's ADD has rubbed off on me because in the midst of ALL that I decided my closet needed it's bi-yearly overhaul, which then led quickly to the drawers. I had two meetings today and made it to one. Ran by the Goodwill, I have been on the hunt for old candlesticks to paint or stickle. Cooked a loaf of banana bread only to realize that the element in my oven is ka-PUT...ran out again to pick up a new element. And now for the last hour  have been on the looking for my tropical banana bread recipe. And may I just say that digging through recipes when you are hungry is NOT the most intelligent idea. I still have NOT found my recipe and about ready to eat the wallpaper!
