Breakfast Casserole

This recipe has been around a long time but it is so easy to put together and yummy, it is a favorite! You can even make it the night before, keep it in the refrigerator and bake it in the morning. We modified it using our favorite things! There are many versions so we hope you enjoy ours! This makes about 6 servings.
Ingredients:
3 c hash browns, frozen or fresh
1 c shredded cheese
1 c cooked sausage (you could also use ham, ground beef, vegan crumbles or bacon)
1/2 shallot, diced
5 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c milk
salt and pepper to taste
* You can also add green pepper, mushrooms, red pepper, onion...all your favorite veggies!!
  • Heat oven to 350F. Grease your baking dish, I used coconut oil and a 2 quart casserole dish. 
  • If you are using sausage or ground beef, cook your meat first, with the shallots, in a medium pan over medium heat on the stove.
  • I like to layer my casserole because I like to be in order - haha! (it's true). I put the potatoes on the bottom of the dish, then the cheese and the meat (or meatless crumbles). 
  • Whisk the eggs, then add the milk to them and whisk a few more minutes.
  • Pour egg and milk mixture over the potatoes, cheese and meat mixture.
  • Bake uncovered for 55 minutes to an hour. If it starts to get too brown around the edges, turn the oven down to 340F.
  • Remove from oven and let it stand for about 5-8 minutes before serving. Slice and serve.
I usually serve this with fresh fruit or juice and a muffin or toast. This makes a great evening meal too! Enjoy!
Love and peace,

Grandma's Bread Pudding and Caramel Sauce

I was trying to think of something for dessert last night and homemade bread pudding was my choice. Our Dad was not a dessert lover but bread pudding was one of his favorites. Our grandma made the best bread pudding, hope you like it! Ingredients : 5 cups slightly dried out bread, any kind. I used Italian bread.  1/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 cups milk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Caramel Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla Directions : Cut the bread in cubes. I cut some of the crust off (on about half of the bread). Place bread into a greased casserole dish or an 11x9 inch pan. Add raisins.  Microwave milk and butter about 4 minutes on 60% power or heat in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Grilled Orange Roughy

My favorite food choices are often related to family memories, so I wanted to share one of our favorite grilled fish recipes. Our Dad used to take us fishing and we grew up eating the fish we caught ourselves. Then came the time when we had to start buying fish, I searched for types of fish that didn't taste too "fishy". It's hard to accomplish that in the Midwest, we don't always have many choices. We were introduced to orange roughy during a trip to San Diego where my great-uncle treated us to some of the most wonderful seafood we had ever eaten at an establishment called Anthony's. It was the first time we had eaten orange roughy and it was white, flaky and not too fishy tasting. After a few experiments, this is my favorite method to prepare it at home. Serves 4 or 2 with leftovers! Ingredients: 4 orange roughy fillets 1/4 c fresh cilantro, I use a small handful * if you are not a cilantro fan use fresh dill, about 1/4 c chopped 2 tsp garlic powder o...

Homemade Goulash

Last weekend I made meals for the freezer. It takes a few hours but this will save you time during the week (in case you have nights like I do when you don't feel like cooking) and your family will love it! I adapted this recipe from Paula Deen (it's called Bobby's Goulash). I used organic ingredients but use the products of your choice. I would have liked to use fresh tomatoes from the garden but my tomatoes weren't quite ready. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free elbow macaroni. It's so tasty - my family loved it! Ingredients : 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound lean ground beef 1 -2 small onions, diced ( I used red onions) 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Italian seasoning 3 bay leaves 3 T soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce 1 T seasoning salt course ground pepper to taste 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) Putting it together: Brown meat and onions in a lar...
