Do you have a favorite Christmas morning breakfast? Every year for as long as I can remember my mother special orders bear claws from a local bakery. Yeahhhh, you can buy packaged bear claws or some even at the counter but these are special. Hence: special order.
See real almond paste is expensive and hard to come by, so most bakeries use an imitation paste in their bear claws but it never ever tastes as good as the real stuff. So my mother special orders them once a year, a ginormous batch, and what we don’t eat up on Christmas morning, she sends home with us. I usually freeze mine and try to eat only a half at a time, maybe once a week or so, just so I can savor them longer.
I’ve been craving those bear claws like crazy lately and I’m getting so excited for Christmas morning I can hardly stand it!

Amazing round up Tiffany! Makes me so ready to plan my Christmas brunch menu. One things is for certain: it always includes cinnamon rolls. I had no idea you could make them in a slow cooker!
Have a wonderful weekend!
P.S. Love your photography skills.

That’s awesome that your mom special orders almond paste! It is pricey and that’s why I always make it at home but it really isn’t the same as a french almond paste!

I really am glad to see a new spin on breakfast. I may try the cheesy breakfast casserole or even the overnight brioche bread. Whichever is simple is probably the best choice, I have zero interest in cleaning up dishes and wrapping paper.
