what are you serving for breakfast xmas morning?

i usually make this dutch puffed apple pancake thing with walnuts & dried cranberries with roasted potatoes on the side, but i think we're having mashed potatoes for xmas dinner, so looking for something else easy as a side. or a different idea completely for a "main course" that's easy since we'll be doing cooking here for dinner as well. we eat things with eggs in them, but no straight egg stuff and dh is not a big cheese lover.

Deleting, because I didn't notice this was the vegetarian forum...clicked on the post from the forum index.

Probably pancakes.... with apples, cinnamon, and walnuts... yum! Sometimes I saute apple slices and put them on top, and sometimes I chop/grate them up and put them right in the batter. Can't go wrong either way!

You didn't say what kind of potatoes you usually have roasted w/breakfast, but we love sweet potatoes sauted in a little olive oil with a little salt and a hint of onion. yum! That would be different if you're just having regular white mashed potatoes for dinner.

good thought about the potatoes, i usually do a mix of white with sweet, but yes i could just do sweet and it won't clash with the mashed potatoes for dinner at all.

We always do orange cinnamon rolls and eggless eggnog. Yums!

Well, we're doing french toast with fruit kebabs for xmas breakfast.  

I do love those large puffed pancakes (and double yum to adding nuts & cranberries - I'll have to try it out with my recipe sometime).  Hmm. . . we did a really awesome sweet potato-beet hash one year (last year?).  I personally like sauteed spinach as a breakfast side, but not everyone else goes for that.  Roasted broccoli is another good option, and easy too.

I'm also having a tough time deciding what to make Christmas morning.  Last year I made homemade cinnamon rolls the night before and then wrapped them up raw so I would only have to toss them in the oven in the morning.  I also made a baked french toast casserole, but I worked so hard on food last year that I kind of want something easier this year.  The cinnamon rolls were amazing though!

BeanyMama...can you share your orange cinnamon roll recipe?

We'll be having Cinnamon Buns, fruit and will try the Tofu Benny from Vegan Brunch.

The cinnamon rolls from Vegan Brunch are fantastic. I usually make cinnamon rolls for Christmas breakfast, but since I've made them twice in the last month (a double batch this past weekend for our holiday brunch), I think I'm going with the coffee cake from the same cookbook. Probably some fruit too.

This is all lacto-ovo stuff:

We are having monkey bread--very decadent and not healthy in any way at all, but so yummy! I'm pregnant (#2) and don't usually eat sweets (when I'm not preggers) not even pancakes but boy right now I could eat sweets all.day. long. Sweets and grapefruit actually (don't know what that's about)!

We are also having a spinach, dill, and swiss cheese fritatta and roasted potatoes.
