    • Amazingly Easy Egg Casserole

      Amazingly Easy Egg Casserole

      One of my favorite holiday breakfasts growing up was this easy egg casserole. I can remember having it on Easter Sunday and Christmas morning. Occasionally we also had this when we had some extra eggs to use up, or bread that was going stale. This week I had some bread to use up I had left from making some make ahead french toast sticks. This is also the perfect recipe to make the night before for a wonderful easy breakfast in the morning!

      Preparation

      To begin making the egg casserole, gather your ingredients and a medium baking pan. Start with greasing your baking pan if you are not using a well seasoned stone. Then set your baking pan aside while you cut up your bread. I prefer to slice my bread into 9 pieces and have small pieces of bread to sprinkle into the pan until the pan is filled. I also prefer the bread without crust, but my Mother always made this recipe with the crust on. Either way works!

       Bread Cubes for Egg Casserole

      After your bread is covering the bottom of your medium baking pan set your pan aside while mixing up the egg mixture. To start mixing up the egg mixture combine all the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt and pepper whisk well. Pour to completely cover the bread pieces in your pan.

      Mixing Eggs and Milk

      Continue with covering your egg and bread mixture with the cheese and breakfast meat toppings of your choice! I prefer bacon or ham with this casserole, but have family that loves it with sausage!

      Then place your egg casserole covered in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight (a maximum of 12 hours) before baking.

      Baking

      To begin baking your easy egg casserole preheat your oven to 350°.

      Bake your egg casserole for approximately 20-30 minutes depending on the size and depth of your pan. You will notice the cheese turning golden brown and the eggs rising completely throughout the dish when the casserole is done.

    • Cereal Snack Bars

      A Fast and Easy To Make Snack

      For the upcoming Valentines Day holiday, I began looking for something I could make that would be a little festive, and most importantly: EASY! I had a little help in the kitchen tonight making banana chocolate chip muffins for my son’s class and these amazing Berry Cereal Snack Bars! These are both perfect recipes to have your kids help in the kitchen!

      I have previously used this recipe with an old flavor of Cheerios I love that unfortunately is now discontinued. Hopefully they will bring the plain peanut butter back, but for now very berry and chocolate peanut butter are close seconds to my favorite flavor! I have found this recipe works great with almost any cereal. The best part is there is no measuring other than cutting some butter off the stick!

      To begin with I melt the butter over medium heat in a large pot on the stove.

      Once the butter is melted add in the marshmallows. Mini marshmallows tend to melt quicker and easier than full sized marshmallows from my experience. Stir the marshmallows continuously until they are completely melted. Remove the marshmallow mixture from the heat.

      Marshmallow mixture melting

      Dump in the whole box of cereal. If you like extra gooey cereal bars, I would recommend using approx 1/2-1 cup less cereal. Mix the cereal well into the marshmallow mixture until well covered.

      Once cereal mixture is mixed into melted marshmallows pour into a 9x13 pan.

      Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 pan. Even out the mixture using a spatula sprayed in oil. You can also use butter for this, but oil works just as well. I prefer to use glass pans for my cereal snack bars similar to this one.

      Wait for your cereal snack bars to cool and then cut them to the desired size. Store in an airtight container. They will keep for one week, if they last that long!

      3.5 Tablespoons Butter

      1 10.4 Oz bag of mini marshmallows
