Earlier this week Ro-Ri San’s childhood friend and family came to stay with us. It was a very short visit en route to the East Coast. It was very nice of them to make the 5 hour journey by bus up from Iowa where their son recently graduated from college. Thankfully the weather cooperated and we made the most of it with a barbecue for dinner, followed by tea and desserts on the patio beside the fire bowl. It was a relaxing and good place to sit and chat.

For dinner, I decided to serve up some good ol’ home cooked American food which consisted of salad, grilled sweet corn, Seared Tuna with Wasabi Mayo, beer bratwursts, and grilled ribeye steaks similar to this Grilled New York Strip Steaks. Being a firm believer in cooking seasonal, I also made a Mango Peach Salsa as mango and peaches are just beginning to appear at the grocery stores. Serve with corn chips, it gave us something to munch on while we pottered around preparing dinner. Be sure to check back next week for my Mango Peach Salsa recipe.

The next morning, I wanted to prepare a hearty American breakfast for our guests. What better than to make this classic Sausage Hash Brown Egg Bake. After all, Minnesota is “Hot Dish Heaven” and chilly mornings call for a nice, big casserole fresh out of the oven.

I added one onion, one green pepper, and one punnet of mushrooms to give it extra flavor and color. I used 8 large eggs but it can easily accomodate 10 to 12 eggs to feed more people.
