{yummy} gluten-free breakfast casserole

sunday was cloudy and deary out in northern virginia. but at the riner household the holiday spirit sure was in the air! ;-)

i held my holiday brunch and baubles event, inviting my friends to do some last minute stella & dot christmas shopping while laughing, eating, and drinking fireside. sure beats braving the chaotic malls!

when planning, i wanted to provide yummy and hearty brunch food that was easy for me to make. this time of year, it never seems like i have enough time. so a 3 dish meal that i could whip up before my guests arrived was definitely on the menu.

i got the following recipe from my friend kim and it was delish! what makes it even better is that it's celiac-friendly! so dive in and eat up.
