Freezer Meal Cooking Day! Can I get a Whoop! Whoop!

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a big freezer meal cooking session. To be exact- it’s been one week shy of a year. Time flies! It’s going down today! Last year I did over 50 meals and that was too much. This year my goal is 34. I’m working with 17 recipes that…

Broccoli Rice Casserole

This holiday classic is one of my favorite side dishes. I was super excited a few years ago that it was also a hit for our littlest kiddo that likes broccoli and loves cheese. I’ve tried several versions and this is a tried and true favorite. This poor recipe didn’t get a separate pretty picture,…

Hash Brown Patty Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast casseroles are one of my very favorite things to have for breakfast.  I think it’s because they are easy to toss together the night before and then it is easy peasy to toss in the oven the morning you are having it.  This one comes together so easy that we did it the morning…

Mini Banana Bread Loaves

Our littlest kiddo has been asking for banana bread and it isn’t something we’ve made in a while so it seemed like the perfect time to put the ripe bananas in our fruit basket to use.  This recipe comes together super fast and was a big weekday hit.
