Elizabeth Scokin, fashion darling and haute hostess, shares her stylish recipes for a cozy post Thanksgiving Day.

For me, the day after Thanksgiving is a long lazy day with a fire burning and the kitchen still filled with wonderful aromas of the day before. We begin our morning with a scrumptious scrambled egg casserole for breakfast. Your whole family will love it! Then the children go outside and play football with their cousins and before you know it someone is hungry again . We have local barbecue for lunch and play cards and nap the afternoon away. Cocktails anyone? A Wild Turkey spritzer is fabulous with my hot crab dip! Dinner is a comforting French Turkey soup that takes care of leftover turkey and mashed potatoes. I promise you will adore it. The dessert is a really surprising delight…a pumpkin roll with lots of cream cheese and powdered sugar. Delish!

Delicious Scrambled Egg Casserole

4 slices bacon (cut in pieces)
1/2 lb. dried beef (cut in pieces)
1-2 cans sliced mushrooms
16 eggs , scramble
1/4 t. salt
1 c. evaporated milk
1/4 c. butter
White Sauce:
1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. flour
1 qt. milk white pepper

Cook bacon until done, but soft. Remove bacon and add beef, mushrooms, and fry a little. Make white sauce and add bacon, beef, and mushroom mixture. Scramble eggs. Grease a large casserole. Layer mixtures starting with sauce and end with sauce. (It comes out 3 layers sauce and 2 layers eggs). Cook one hour at 275 degrees Serves 12 as a main course or 20 for brunch, when there are several other dishes.

* For brunch I love to serve it with cinnamon rolls and a salad with avocado and grapefruit with poppyseed dressing. Can be made the day before and refrigerated. Is great for a big family breakfast!
