Many of us will be spending today cooking, spending time
with family and maybe opening a few gifts. Some of us will even be up until the wee hours of the
morning waiting for Santa. When it
comes time to make breakfast Christmas morning, I’m sure you will want to keep
it simple. Today I shared some of my favorite DIY Crafty Christmas Breakfast tips with Page Crawford on WNCN Today.

Dressing
up Donuts.
o Snowman Donuts. Making a snowman donut is easier than
you may think. All you need are
mini powdered donuts, mini chocolate chips and orange candy like Mike & Ike
or Jelly Beans. Simply arrange 2
mini chocolate chips, pointy side down, as eyes and 4 mini chocolate chips as a
mouth. Then add 1 orange candy as
a nose and voila, you’ve got an adorable snowman donut!
o Reindeer Donuts. An adorable reindeer donut is almost as
easy to make as snowman donuts and twice as cute. Grab a bag of mini chocolate donuts, small pretzels,
marshmallow bits and red candy (Skittles or M&Ms are perfect). Now comes the hardest (or at least most
frustrating part) – cut your pretzels in half so they look like antlers. If you are having trouble cutting your
pretzels without breaking them, simply warm them in the microwave for 30
seconds prior to cutting. Insert
your pretzel antlers in the top of the donut, add marshmallow bits eyes and a
red candy nose smack dab in the middle and you’re done.

Fruity
Santa Hats.
o Strawberry Santa Hat. With all of the Christmas treats loaded
with sugar, it is nice to have a healthy alternative the whole family will love. You will need fresh strawberries,
washed with the stem removed, small banana slices, mini marshmallows, green
grapes and a toothpick. Place a
strawberry on top of each banana slice, insert a toothpick through the center,
and a single grape beneath the banana and place a mini marshmallow to the top
of the toothpick.

Festive
French Toast.
o French Toast Trees.. Who doesn’t love homemade French Toast
for breakfast?!? One of the
easiest ways to turn any breakfast treat into a delicious Christmas treat is
with a cookie cutter. Simply make
your favorite French Toast recipe and use your favorite Christmas cookie cutter
to turn them into festive shapes. TIP: Don’t waste the scraps! Instead, cut them into bite size
pieces, drop them into a small baking dish, add a little butter pour over your
favorite syrup and you have the perfect French
Toast casserole.
Have a wonderful, safe, healthy and yummy Christmas!
Until next time,
