OK..that's fine, just please be sure to vote on whatever. I was just trying to give her other options. To be fair, I could edit and start a new thread for her, and just leave one for the cooking club. LMK.

it doesn't matter to me. If everyone else is happy with this, that's fine.. I don't eat many breakfast foods so i could just skip out anyway this week.

No problems!

Brunch Pie

1 can of Pillsbury crescent rolls
package of bacon
6 eggs
medium onion
2 good sized potatoes
Monterey Jack cheese

Roll crescent dough in a pie pan and push together seams. Cook bacon until crisp, set aside. Chop onions and potatoes into diced pieces and sautee until brown. Cook the eggs scrambled style. Once all ingredients are finished, layer into pie pan. I first layer the eggs, then potato/onions, bacon (crumbled), then cheese. Place in an oven for about 15 minutes at 350. Basically all you are doing at this poing is cooking the crescent dough and melting the cheese. Serve with wheat toast and strawberry jam. Enjoy!

i personally aint a breakfast person either but this is what my great grandpa used to eat all the time, it was his fav!!

a pack of refrigerated biscuits, whichever you like-bake em as directed.

either take cooked sausage or ground beef and mix it with white country gravy, and pour over biscuits.

i personally like taking the gravy mixture and pour some on a baked tato or steamed ones.
