Sausage Breakfast Casserole

My son asked me today (he's 9) if I would teach him to make this recipe, because it is the best in the whole world! I love him!!!!! I have been making this recipe since before he was ever born (10 years before to be exact ) but who's counting? It is excellent on Christmas morning :)

10 slices bread (cubed)
10 eggs
1 cup milk of your choice
1 lb breakfast sausage
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Brown the sausage in skillet, I don't drain the grease off, but you can if you want to. Cube the bread and place loosely in a greased casserole dish. Crack the eggs, scramble with the milk, vanilla and spices. Spoon sausage onto the bread, pour over the egg mixture, sprinkle the sugar and cheese. Bake at 325 for 45 minutes or until top is toasted. It is also great topped with maple syrup or ice cream!

Italian sausage and stir fried sweet peppers

We did the 21 day sugar and wheat detox and are technically on day 25. We have found out that we love eating this way and feel so much better. My husband and I both had achey joints and terrible acid reflux, both of which are now completely gone. I haven't eaten a TUMS in 3 weeks!!!! One challenge we've found with excluding wheat is balancing your meal with vegetables. Tonight's dinner was a winner and we will make it again soon, I'm sure.

1 package Italian sausage links
1 sliced onion
1 small bag fresh tri-color sweet peppers
1 large green pepper
1 tsp. fresh garlic

Cook the sausages in the pan. (I add a little water to steam them and find that it also helps in caramelizing the veggies before it evaporated out) Slice the vegetables into strips and add to the pan. Stir fry the vegetables. Serve warm.
