Hash Brown and Turkey Sausage Casserole, perfect for breakfast or brunch

Most mornings my breakfast consists of Greek yogurt, fruit and granola. But about once or twice a week I’ll make something warm and a little more filling. Last week was a new recipe that was delicious, substantial, but also light!

I found a recipe for a Hash Brown Casserole with Turkey Sausage and Cherry Tomatoes in my Cooking Light Cookbook. It suggested serving it as a side dish for a casual meal, or a main dish with coffee and fresh fruit at breakfast or brunch.

Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake

I wanted to make it a little special!

I looked through my recipe index here on my blog, and when I saw this Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake recipe, I knew it would be the perfect addition to the rest of the meal. I wanted savory and sweet, and this was a nice addition to the egg dish I was making. This cake is fluffy, moist and full of flavor.

Buttermilk Blueberry Coffee Cake
Fresh Fruit with yogurt and Peanut Butter Granola
