Breakfast in bed is a birthday tradition in our house, and I recommend everyone start this tradition! Last year Alex whipped up his own version of mini frittatas and I was very impressed. I love the light airy texture of frittatas and these mini frittatas make serving a crowd effortless. This recipe can easily be altered with different meats, vegetables, and cheeses. I have also tried a version with bacon and sharp cheddar, but nothing beats the lightness of turkey breakfast sausage. Enjoy! xoxo

During the holidays we spent half of our time with family in Dallas and the other half visiting family in Houston. Christmas morning we were in charge of providing breakfast for our Dallas family. This breakfast casserole was the perfect solution to feeding a large group on an already chaotic morning. I made the breakfast casserole a day in advance, froze it, and reheated it that morning. We typically add a little heat to most of our food, so I like to garnish this dish with Chipotle Tabasco. xoxo
