Recipes from the Front Porch

All of my recipes are done in advance so that, on Christmas morning, I can pop these in the oven to cook or heat and it is ready after we finish opening presents. All of the recipes are so easy that I almost hate to give them out. This year I am a new mother of twin girls so I know I will be using these time saving recipes. The Muffins, crab quiches, Apple-Sausage Balls will be done the week before and frozen, then taken out before we hit the bed Christmas Eve to thaw. The others will be made Christmas Eve afternoon to set overnight. I also do the Christmas Morning Casserole , Hashbrown Casserole, Coffee Cake , and Apple/Sausage Balls the night before Thanksgiving and my Husband has a "hunt" breakfast for he and his relatives and friends before the Annual Thanksgiving Day Hunt begins. Now on to the recipes!-Sandra
