With my parents coming over for Christmas morning this year, I wanted to make something special for breakfast that we could all enjoy. But, I didn’t want to be missing out on Wee Man’s second Christmas and all the fun to go with it because I was slaving away in the kitchen. So, you can imagine how pleased I was when I found a recipe on pinterest that I could throw in the slow cooker the night before (or at 1 am because I was still tying up last minute Christmas loose ends) and have ready whenever we wanted in the morning.
