How about replacing rolls with something new and interesting? Yorkshire Pudding Put 2 tbsp. of oil into a round cake pan and set it in a 425 degree over to heat to almost smoking. (While looking for pictures, I saw that some people make these in muffin cups. I've never tried it, but you can if you like.) In the meantime, mix 1 c. flour 1/2 tsp. salt Dash pepper 2 eggs 1 c. milk This will make a thin batter, which you'll pour into the hot oil and bake 25-30 minutes (don't open the oven door until time is up). Slice like a pie and serve with butter/gravy.

If you've got a houseful of company for the holidays, here's a breakfast treat you can make ahead and pop in the oven just before the gift opening begins. It makes the house smell great, and when the last of the unwrapping is done, there's breakfast for everyone! 1 doz. eggs dash pepper 1 tsp. salt 2 1/2 c. milk 1 c. American cheese, grated 3 slices bread, cubed Mix ingredients ahead of time and refrigerate. Get creative with things your family likes by adding chopped ham, crumbled bacon, peppers, onion, sausage, etc. In the morning, pour mixture into 9x13 pan and bake for 45 min. at 350 degrees. You can serve this on bagels or English muffins, or with toast on the side for a complete and wonderful holiday breakfast.
