EASY Sausage Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole
This week we celebrated our teachers and showed our appreciation in many ways.
Giving them cute gifts each day was one way we showed our appreciation. (click here.)
Another way we showed our thanks was with breakfasts and lunches.
Well, I had just finished patting myself on the back because I had finished most of the teacher gifts early, when a wave of naseau overwhelmed me...I had signed up to bring a breakfast casserole and a dessert the following morning (this is around 10:00 pm Monday night!) My go to breakfast casseroles are all the 'fix the night before and refridgerate' kind.
Besides, that, I didn't have everything I needed for one of those.
So to the internet I went in search of a QUICK and yummy breakfast casserole recipe...this is what I found at Food.com (click) (well, this is MY version of what I found at Food.com)...
(photo disclaimer..I HAD to show what it looked like, but I didn't have time to style this the way I'd like to...savory dishes often do not photograph as beautifully as the sweets...I've actually gaged at some that I've seen on the internet even though the recipe sounds delicious...hope this doesn't make you gag.)
Sausage Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole
1 can of regular sized crescent rolls
1 clove of garlic, pressed through garlic press
1 lb of ground sausage like Owens' or Jimmy Dean
2 cups grated mozzerella or monterey jack or chedder cheese
5 eggs
3/4 cup 1/2 & 1/2
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
couple of shakes of Tabasco
First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Second, get the sausage and garlic in a pan to begin browning. Third, lightly grease a 9X13 pan (I used a disposable aluminum pan to make clean-up easier for those hosting the breakfasts,) and cover bottom with crescent roll dough, pressing seams together.
Once the sausage is completely browned and crumbly, drain grease, then spoon sausage on top of crescent roll dough. Top sausage with cheese. Mix eggs and next 4 ingredients together and pour on top of sausage.
Pop in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Of course, I still haven't tried it, but it received rave reviews from the FIRST teacher brunch I delivered it to...just took the other one this morning.
Thanks again to all of our teachers and support staff!
You are awesome!
Smiles!

Teacher Appreciation Week - Day #4 - Bloom Where You are Planted!
First, I'd love for you to stop by the Pretty Packages Party and link up one of your packages or Teacher Appreciation Gift ideas!
Second, why don't you stop by and link to the Tuesday To Do Party, too?!!
Again, as I mention earlier this week, the PTA at our school sent home a list of items to send to school each day for Teacher Appreciation Week.
(This week is only 4 days as the teachers had an in service on Monday.)
Day #3 - Markers or Pens (I already had something else...candles) (click here)
AND THIS
Day #4 - a flower
AND THIS
Day #4 - a flower
Teachers who inspire know that teaching is like cultivating a garden, and those who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers. ~Author Unknown
Here is my version of the gargen basket...
Using a trusty Sonic beverage carrier, I added a spade, shears and a pair of gloves all courtesy of Dollar store.
Our sweet teacher loves Mary Englebriet.
This tin sign as a great find at Hobby Lobby.
With a paint pen, I wrote a little note to her thanking her for being such a wonderful teacher.
Flowers for her garden and tissue paper finished out the "basket."
***Tip*** Put the flowers pots in plastic baggies to keep any moisture from leaking in the cardboard carrier.***
A sweet basket for a sweet teacher.
Thank you Mrs. S. for all you do!
We'll miss you next year!
Smiles!!

Teacher Appreciation Week - Day #3 - Thanks for Helping Me Shine!
First, I'd love for you to stop by the Pretty Packages Party and link up one of your packages or Teacher Appreciation Gift ideas!
Second, why don't you stop by and link to the Tuesday To Do Party, too?!!
Again, as I mention earlier this week, the PTA at our school sent home a list of items to send to school each day for Teacher Appreciation Week.
(This week is only 4 days as the teachers had an in service on Monday.)
Day #3 - Markers or Pens (I already had something else...candles as you will soon see!)
Day #4 - a flower
So Teacher Appreciation Week Continues....
A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. ~Author Unknown
The first group of pictures is from the teacher gifts we gave J's teachers last week.
Picked up the candles 1/2 off at Hobby Lobby...100% Soy and they smell wonderful.
Put a little shredded craft paper in the bottom of a cellophane bag...
Added a hand-stamped/hand-written card...
Then tied it all up with cute leopart print ribbon.
They inspired me to do the same for H's sweet teacher.
This gift is also candle, wrapped in yellow tissue inside a vellum bag.
Cute ribbon always makes the gift!
The little tags says, "Thanks for helping me SHINE in Kindergarten!"
I made a blank tag just for you...just have your child fill in his/her teacher's name and their name. Easy peasy!
Thank you to all of the teachers for all of your hard work & dedication!
Smiles!

Found some cute ribbon at Hobby Lobby, assorted sizes of sticky notes at Target and just tied them all together with a cute little tag I made on my computer.

(Wish I had known early enough to purchase some personalized pencils for her...Oriental Trading Company has them sooo cheap!)
Anyway, this is what I did.
Anyway, this is what I did.
I'm sure this pencil can idea is all over blog land. It's easy to make and I've done it before in my pre-blog days. You simply need a clean can, about 40 unsharpened pencils, a glue gun, several glue sticks and some cute ribbon. Do I even need to tell you how to do it?!?
Just in case my dear friend,(who happens to be craftologically (new word) challenged, wants to do this,) you know who your are, I'll spell it out for everyone....
Put some hot glue in a line from the top to the bottom of the can. Place a pencil on top of that glue line. Make sure it is straight and that the wording is facing out (unless you'd rather it all faced in...just have all of them facing the same way.) Press down. Cover the can in pencils. Tie a cute ribbon around it all and fill with pencils.
Tah-dah!!! Super cute!!
If you'd like to make your own, feel free to snag a label...just click the following link.
Free label download here.Thanks to all of the teachers for all that you do!
Smiles!!!
P.S. Tomorrow is the Tuesday To Do Party!
Don't forget to stop by!
