Breakfast with the Broker Menu

 

Each Christmas we like to take time as a team and enjoy a nice meal as we kick off the holiday season and wrap up our final closings of the current year.  These are 2 of our favorite recipes to prepare for our team.  This blog was written because normally someone ask for the recipe so we thought we would share (-:
