Brunch and Bible Study

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." 2 Peter 3:18 NIV (2010)

I love Fridays! That's the day I get to gather with friends, have a little gourmet coffee, and dig in to God's word. Nothing formal, just friends sharing life, and growing in faith. This Friday is the last session of our current study, so we're having a little brunch. Remember, this blog is for both "Daily Bread and Girly Food", so in addition to today's verse, here's the recipe for the dish I'm bringing to our brunch. It can be made the night before and baked in the morning, if you like. Enjoy!

Amish Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

1 pound sliced bacon, diced

1 medium sweet onion, chopped

6 eggs, lightly beaten

4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese

1 1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp; drain. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in bacon mixture. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until set and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

**Note: I use low fat cheeses and cottage cheese, and lower sodium bacon for a healthier dish.

Prayer for Today: Father, help us to make time for life-giving friendships and study of Your word. In Jesus' name, Amen.
