I’m not very good about organizing the recipes I post here in any sort of easy-to-locate fashion, so when holidays roll around I usually get emails with subject lines that say things like “Coffee Cake Recipe?” or “Breakfast Casserole Recipe?” or “WOMAN, WHY CAN’T YOU FILE THINGS SO WE CAN FIND THEM?”
Maybe notsomuch that last one. But I bet y’all think it.
Anyway, most of the requests are for breakfast dishes (I am such a fan of the two-meal option when there’s company in the house; I love to fix a big breakfast and then supper late in the afternoon…at lunch guests can have snacks or leftovers or air, it’s totally up to them), so I thought I’d put them all in one spot for you hostesses with the mostestses.
Quick Oatmeal Granola
Cheese Grits
Breakfast Casserole
Apple-Craisin French Toast Casserole
Granite Steps Coffee Cake
Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole
Angela’s Chocolate Gravy
Pound Cake (if you have never had pound cake for breakfast, you have no idea what you’re missing)
Coconut Cake (I mean, WHY NOT? Coconut is a fruit, and I think fruit always qualifies as a breakfast food.)
Fig Preserves Cake (again, IT’S A FRUIT)
And as always, you can never go wrong with identifiable meat.
Hope you enjoy All The Butter, y’all.
Edited to add the Chocolate Gravy link – and I corrected the salt amount on the fig preserves cake, just FYI.
Wonderful! I just love love love recipes. All in one place! Thanks!
For the cheese grits, do you cook the grits in the water AND the chicken broth?
I’ve got a hungry 15-year-old nephew coming for the weekend. He HAS to try the cheese grits : )
Thanks for all the fun recipes!!
I think you’re forgetting my favorite recipe of all of yours.!?!.WOMAN!.? Just playing… I think you are my biscuits and chocolate gravy lady. Oops if I’m mistaken.
Blessings

I just discovered that Granite Steps Coffee Cake….and I have made it 3 times this month! Amazing is an understatement. Can’t wait to try the others!
Actually I WAS feeling this way last week, when you were heading out of town–“WOMAN, WHY CAN’T YOU FILE THINGS SO WE CAN FIND THEM?” Ha! Ha! Hee!
I was re-ordering the cookbooks and making sure all the recipes were right, when Chris said for the Fig Preserves Cake (that is totally wonderful!) that 1 tablespoon of salt was too much and was I sure? So I came to look for it…and gave up….and wrote 1 teaspoon of salt, thinking I had truly erred on the side of caution.
So the next 100 people will have this recipe slightly wrong.
Ah well! At least I did fix/ change the bread machine recipe that called for 3 tablespoons of yeast. I knew it was a bit much, but then made it and it OVERFLOWED the machine!!
Julie –
Yep, cook ’em in both. SO good! :-)
I’m with you on the pound cake front. Mmmm. Delicious, delicious, tasty, wonderful pound cake.
Best breakfast ever? Pound Cake with Hershey’s Syrup on top of it. Oh- it just doesn’t get any better than that.
I was just going to leave the same link that Dee did!! Thought of you when I saw the headlines! Great minds think alike :)
Pound cake for breakfast is family tradition with us…we probably eat more of it that way than we do for dessert! Of course, you have to slab on extra butter before you toast it in the oven, and that makes it so much yummier…
MAN! I am in sore need of some new recipes. So thank you for this timely and informative and organized post. WOMAN.
You mean you don’t make Edna Holland’s recipe for garlic cheese grits? I thought you would have for sure used hers. That’s the one I use (courtesy of Liz) but did you know they quit making the Kraft garlic cheese rolls? So frustrating…the only substitution is using velveeta and adding garlic powder.
Nom Nom Woman!
I’m linking this on Worthington Wire for recipes now!
xo, alli
The pound cake?! yes, Yes, YES!!! Love it sliced about one inch thick, popped in the toaster and then spread with, you guessed it, a slab of real butter!!!!!!!!!
Sweet! I’ll be trying some of these. Thanks for putting them all in one place for us!
Mmmm, sounds delish! Ok, so I have to share my cheesy grit recipe. I have been making this for Christmas breakfast for about 10 years, but my family still asks every year to make sure that it will be on the table.

My mother-in-love got me started on the two meals for company deal – love it!
“or air” reminds me of the SNL skit with Drew Barrymore where they do the 80s aerobic video. Have you seen that one?
Awesome, Mama. We have a play date tomorrow, and I will try to make the granola. My kids love granola, but I usually buy it.
And I’m sure missing my fig tree after you mentioned fig cake.
Not sure if I have ever commented or not on your blog, but I visit often. You always crack me up! Just wondering if you have ever seen this comedy routine about bacon

I think he is hilarious and when I saw this I immediately thought of you.
God bless you. Every time I have to sign up to bring a breakfast dish to MOPS, I start sweating. I’ve never tried to make a breakfast cassrole, which is dumb because I love eating them! I’m gonna take the plunge. Thanks!
Pound cake for breakfast is a must at least once a month in this family. Now that the kids can serve themselves, life has gotten easier. :) Ha!
Oh thanks a ton….can’t wait to try these out and let the kids help! And by the way, have you tried Beth Moore’s 5 flavor poundcake recipe….oh, my word, delish. Last summer during one of our “cooking camp” sessions (in the kitchen at home with my 3 kiddos)…we made it! And you’re right, it was equally tasty as suppertime dessert, or with a glass of milk the next morning! :)
Thanks for sharing your recipes!
