The whole crew is coming to my house. Mom, Dad, Sis, Sis's live-in, and the 4 kids, plus me and hubs.

Mom is bringing homemade chicken and dumplings.

Kids are the pickiest damn eaters ever.

Suggestions, ideas on what else to make? I have a few ideas, but was hoping for more. Not too concerned about anything being uber healthy, just something that everyone would like.

So, what will YOU be making/serving on Sunday? INSPIRE ME!

    I'm thinking of trying this out. If your not a fan of Jalapeno and add something else instead.

    Jalapeño , Sausage, Jack, and Egg Breakfast Braid
    1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
    Cooking spray
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/4 cup chopped onion
    4 ounces chicken sausage with jalapeño peppers, chopped
    2 large eggs, lightly beaten
    1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
    1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    1/4 cup chopped seeded jalapeño peppers
    1 large egg white, lightly beaten
    1. Preheat oven to 425°.

    2. Unroll dough onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; pat into a 15 x 10–inch rectangle.

    3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sausage; cook 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in eggs; cook 1 1/2 minutes or until set. Remove from heat.

    4. Sprinkle Monterey Jack lengthwise down center of dough, leaving about a 2 1/2-inch border on each side. Spoon egg mixture evenly over cheese. Sprinkle cheddar over egg mixture; top with jalapeño peppers.

    5. Make 2-inch-long diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart on both sides of dough to within 1/2 inch of filling using a sharp knife or kitchen shears. Arrange strips over filling, alternating strips diagonally over filling. Press ends under to seal. Brush with egg white. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into slices.

    Mom is making lasagna, and a 7 layer salad. I think my gramma is making potato salad and probably deviled eggs... and then there will be cake - there is always cake. They don't let me cook (which is probably a good idea considering it usually ends in disaster)

    My cousins kids are picky but they do enjoy fruit so there will be a fruit tray, and probably a veggie tray, and of course cheese. My family is pretty basic though nothing super fancy.

    Sorry I am really no help.

    Ok, my family is probably too picky to eat this, but I totally printed it to make for me and hubs one night. Nom nom nom.

    Same with the Jalapeño , Sausage, Jack, and Egg Breakfast Braid Artemis!
