Or Whatever You DoBreakfast Casserole with Ham
A breakfast casserole with ham is a perfect way to have a quick breakfast in the morning. Toss it together the evening before, pop it in the oven when your coffee is brewing, and by the time youâve finished cup #2* this will be ready to take out of the oven.
I love fall, but hate pumpkin AND chai â so that puts me in some kind of a weird club at this time of year. Not that I mind. Weird clubs and I tend to somehow go together pretty well. I am a bit of an oddball, and the older I get the more I embrace it instead of battling against it.
The perks of aging, I guess.
Iâm about to be an age that used to seem so OLD to me which is odd and a little surreal, but also really exciting too. Iâm pretty happy to report that I donât FEEL that old, and at the exact same time I also feel way older than I am too.
I joke sometimes that each kid aged me an extra couple years, and thatâs probably pretty close to the truth.
It has been quite the 2016 so far, and Iâm not quite sure where it has gone or where it is going, but Iâm sure happy to be along for the ride. Even if it is a scary, and stressful, and chaotic ride most of the time.
Iâve been debating a little bit internally about whether I want to share some of that on the blog. I have talked a little bit about whatâs going on behind the scenes here, but it is pretty rare. It is pretty scary to put yourself out there like that, and the yourself that is messy and dirty and not at all put together.
Sharing food isâ¦safe. It is fairly impersonal, and is very thought out. My pictures are well framed to exclude the messiness in my life, though so spills into the background at times. I try and be authentic and real with everyone, and donât shy away from the fact that most nights Iâm calling an audible and we do a lot of frozen foods, take out, and boxed convenience items. But all the food I make here is really food I make and enjoy.
Just because I donât have time right now to do all that making and cleaning and baking doesnât make it less authentic, it just makes it less frequent.
Now Iâm just rambling. Iâll stop, and get back to the good stuff in a minute, but hereâs your fair warning. This month, it might get real over here. Like, really real. Uncomfortably real.
I always feel like I have to temper any admissions of life not being all sunshine and roses with a bunch of disclaimers about how fortunate I am and how good it is. I donât want anyone to worry about me just because things are hard now. They are hard, but I know I can do it.
All the rest is just details, right?
Sometimes really delicious details, like this ham and cheese breakfast bake. (P.S. These buttermilk pancakes with this blueberry syrup would be PERFECT with this!)
