Friday, Jan. 6, we went to Jacob and Emma's house for dinner. We had a breakfast haystack which is almost like a regular haystack but you use breakfast foods. We had biscuits broken into bite-sized pieces, fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, tomatoes, green peppers, hot peppers, shredded cheese, onions, salsa, cheese sauce and sausage gravy. By the time you put a little bit of everything on your plate you have a nice-sized haystack.
This was the first time I had breakfast haystack. I think I prefer it over a regular haystack. A lot of people in the community have breakfast haystacks when they have their family Christmas gatherings.
