Hearty Sausage Mini Quiches
Christmas Day breakfasts are big at my house. This makes nice individual servings. It'd be great with a sweet roll and some fruit.

1/4 c. milk
1 c. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 c. frozen hash browns
1 lb sausage, cooked and drained
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Place foil baking cups in a muffin tin. Fill with sausage mixture. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Yields 12.
Home Ec Muffins
These muffins tasted great and were very moist. You could serve them for breakfast or as a substitute for a roll at supper.
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 c. unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. vanilla wafer crumbs
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 c. chopped pecans
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat well. Stir in applesauce and vanilla. Combine flour, crumbs, cinnamon, baking soda, and nutmeg; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in pecans. Fill greased or lined muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cool for five minutes before removing. Makes 12 muffins. Serve warm.
Honeybun Cake
I got this recipe from my cousin Patricia many years ago. It's a really good one to take somewhere since it makes a lot.
1 box yellow cake mix
8 oz. sour cream
1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
2 c. powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
3 Tbsp. milk
Stir cake mix, sour cream, sugar, oil, and eggs well. Pour half of batter in a greased 13x9 cake pan. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over batter. Top with remaining cake mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Make a glaze with powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk; spread over cake while hot.
