Homemade Italian Cappelletti (Little Hats) served in a chicken broth with homemade pasta, rice and carrots. The recipe has been passed down a few generations in my father's family.
Here's a copy of Alli's breakfast casserole if anyone's interested!
Sausage & Egg Casserole
1 lb sausage (Jimmy Dean Regular is the best..or use hot if you like a little spice)
6 slices bread, I use hearty white or regular white...wheat is too sweet for me)
1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
6 Eggs well beaten
2 cups milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried mustard
Fry sausage , breaking it up as it cooks. Drain and cool. Cut bread into small cubes and layer in a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle sausage on top and then cheese. Add the milk to the beaten eggs, add salt & mustard. Whisk well and pour evenly over casserole. Cover and let sit in the frig overnight...or at least an hour.
Uncover and bake at 350 about 30-45 minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy!
This is also good to use through out the week as breakfast for rushed school kids or busy moms! If you are on low card...omit the bread. You can also use diced ham instrad of sausage, and add other ingredients...onion, mushrooms, peppers.
Also good served with warmed up salsa on the side.

great menu JR!!! can't ever have enough wonderful potatoes!!!
care to share your twice baked recipe?
I love ambrosa...may add that to our menu. We have a baked country ham and shrimp. Lots of side dishes....with 18 people eating, everyone has a "must have" favorite. Coconut and Red Velvet cakes are a must as well.
All right, I'm starving now. So hungry I could eat a standing rib roast raw! 
Gosh you know I havent even thought about it and this is the year that I must.
This is the first time since being married (13 years) that it is just me, Mr. IBD and little iBD. no other family!
I guess I gotta cook.
maybe fried turkey
dressing
corn casserole
green beans
pound cake
not sure what else, how much can 3 people eat????

Rapunzey bread:clap_1:
Everyone knows what I have on Xmas Eve from the D and K thread 
, but in case you missed the story, we have the Feast of the Seven Fishes.
Usually it's baked clams, Fried Calamari, Flounder, King Crab Legs, Lobster Tails, Cod Fish (which is served cold in a salad, and then also added to a separate pot of pasta sauce) Shrimp scampi, and I also get a monk fish (since this is the closest thing to lobster that I can eat because I think I am allergic to shellfish now ) This is served with homemade pasta sauce red and vodka sauce.
Dessert is usually homemade biscotti, cannolli's and a mix of Italian Pastries with expresso. I usually make fresh butter cookies in the morning on Xmas Eve as well as fresh egg nog called Coquito which was passed by father who was born in Puerto Rico. I will post the recipe when I get a chance. It's basically egg nog with coconut milk added to it and lots of cinnamon.
It is a very nice dessert drink.
For Xmas, in the morning, I make banana pancakes with Pineapple syrup and Ghiradella hot cocoa, eggs and bacon.
Late afternoon, we usually have a ham, fresh made escalloped potatoes, asparagus wrapped in Prosciutto and wrapped and baked in a light pastry dough and glazed carrots.
Dessert: Creme brulee and a varied blend of different flavored cheesecakes
