Notes from Liz
I made up this recipe for a brunch pot-luck before skiing at the Dartmouth Ski Way in Hanover New Hampshire.  It is also delicious for any meal.  When my girls were in elementary school, we would have breakfast for dinner on Sunday evenings.  Since their favorite breakfast foods -french toast and pancakes took more time to cook before school, we saved them for Sunday evening  Apples and Sausage was another favorite, especially with pancakes.  Enjoy!
