Two Chicks Who Like To Cook

Brunch is the perfect meal.  You have the heartiness of breakfast plus the casualness of a great lunch.  You can have breakfast food and dinner food.  In my book, it's a win-win.  I typically host brunch three or four times a year for my family and friends and these are items that frequently make the list. OMELETTE STATION One of the things we often do is have an omelette station.  We provide eggs, various shredded cheeses and veggies. Guests bring various fixings like cubed ham, bacon bits and mushrooms.  We have to skillets going making individual omelettes. HASHBROWN CASSEROLE This really rivals the hashbrown casserole at the Cracker Barrel.  It is sooo good. INGREDIENTS 1 pint sour cream (fat free works well, too) 1 can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom soup for vegetarians) 2 lbs (32 ounces) hashbrown potatoes, thawed 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped 2 cups cheddar cheese 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350
