About Cynthia and her Christmas Morning Breakfast Casserole:
My mother makes this casserole for us every Christmas morning. To me, it tastes like being home and love. Also, I can never get it just the way she can but I keep trying for my own kids.
My mother is a remarkable woman--smart, strong, funny, caring, and we often say her love language is food. She loves to make sure the people she loves are well fed.
