Overnight Breakfast

Hello all!

I've been in the biggest blogging slump lately but I couldn't resist sharing with you my overnight breakfast I made for my husband, brother in law, and two nephews. It's usually a full house here on Nebraska game days, especially late ones, so I knew I needed to make an easy breakfast. I love "bed and breakfast" style menus but these boys don't eat ANY vegetables! After typing through a few recipes I decided on my menu:

~Cinnamon Rolls
~Bacon Biscuit Egg Casserole
~Orange Juice
~Coffee (for me :-)



I made these delicious Cinnamon Rolls adapted from Katie at Good Things Catered. Her recipes are yummy and relatively easy. I highly recommend her blog.


For the Egg Casserole, I made it on my own.
Bacon Biscuit Egg Casserole
~ 4 eggs
~ 1 c Whole Milk
~ Grands Flaky Biscuits
~ 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
~ 1/4 tsp Salt
~ 1/4 tsp Pepper
~ 3/4 c 2% Sharp Cheddar Cheese

1. In a stand mixer, whisk eggs, milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined, about 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 cup of cheese.

2. Cut up biscuits into quarters

3. Pour half of egg mixture into a greased 8 in. square baking dish. Drop biscuit pieces evenly in dish. Pour remaining egg mixture on top of biscuits.

4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (You could just cook it now if you are making the morning of).

5. In the morning, preheat oven to 360°. Bake for 30 minutes or until casserole isn't runny in the middle anymore.

Have a happy Labor Day weekend!

Product Review: CustomFlex Fit Bras

So many of you know I'm a bzz agent and I try products and rate them. Well this week in the mail, Barely There (aka Hanes) sent me this braand these undies
to test out. The bra is called CustomFit Flex meaning it's not a 34 B or C etc. It's a different sizing scale. Visit their website and you'll know what I mean.

I usually buy my bras and chones (that's undies to those not from the Southwest part of the country, or who don't speak Spanglish) from Victoria's Secret. I know they fit and it's what works...plus they're cute to boot!

The BRA: I was pleasantly surprised it was really comfy for a "going to work" or "t-shirt" bra. Not super sexy but looked great under clothes. It didn't ride up and didn't make me sweat or cut into my sides.

The PANTIES: These seemed like they were a little too small for my big butt. I'm pear shaped--well not really either, I just have an ass! Maybe a larger size would have worked better. I still wore them and they were pretty comfortable. I didn't like them as much as the bra, but still really nice for full butted underwear with no pantie lines.

Vegas!

So I've been in a blogging rut lately, nor have I had time. So here are some now old pics of our last vacation to Vegas.

Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day and I don't get to take many pics with my dad, especially with him smiling naturally (men hating smiling on cue, I don't know why) so I thought I'd share this pic from--well you can figure it out. I wish I didn't live so far away from you...I love you!
In honor of my dad, I'm using my palm sander and wood putty on my desk I'm painting. I wouldn't know any of this power tool stuff without him and I can't go into a Lowe's or Home Depot without thinking of him :-)

Oh and thanks to everyone who follows me...I have made it to the big 100!

PHX is The Place to Be!!

Since I'm so good at blogging it's going on two weeks now, B and I went to Phoenix to visit my parents and friends for Memorial Day.
One of the things B has been really into is clay/sport shooting...whatever style-- he's into it.

We went to the Ben Avery Shooting Range in the north valley and it was quite the place. They have all kinds of things you can do there, every kind of shooting scenario...it's available. I mean check out this map!I'm all for showing the best first and this is my favorite pic of my dad. If you look closely you can not only see the clay blown to pieces, you can also see the shell shooting out of the side of the gun. So lucky to catch that shot!
Is it wrong for a Coach purse to be on a shooting range? Only in AZ :-)
Here's my mom and the instructor who was awesome! He really helped us improve our style, or lack thereof.
And of course b-man had to get in some action. Yeah our newest addition to the family was his Benelli shotgun! Before I left, my mom and I were able to get some fun shopping time with my best girl Ondrea. We've been friends since freshman year of high school and she's great.More pics from Vegas!

We're BACK!!

We're back after 8 days on vacation. The first 1/2 was in Phoenix visiting my mom and dad and the second 1/2 was mainly spent here...the pool at the Flamingo Hotel.
I'll post pics soon after I can get everything unpacked...we spent a lot of money. Well when it's $24 for two drinks at this pool, you better get out the lube for your rear end. I went shopping and got some really comfy flip flops!

What I really need to do is eat healthy. I haven't been so good lately and I NEED to get back on board.

What is your favorite healthy dish?

I'll feature your recipe and repost, linking to you for all the other healthy girls to see!

Trap Shooting and what not...

I'm here in Iowa at the in-laws writing while B and the 'rents hit up the trail and exercise the dogs. I decided not to go with since I'm really lazy and only brought heels...what better time to work on my blog on week old happenings than now. I've been so bad about blogging lately since I've taken on a side job in addition to my real job. I just blog stalk now.

This is Me playing around with Photo booth while Brian drives to IA last week. (photo booth reverses shots so no I'm not on my laptop in the car while I'm driving.

Open your eyes Duke!!Okay enough with photo booth!

Last week my youngest nephew turned one and since his parents live on a farm, we thought it'd be a great idea to try out some trap shooting. While I have shot pistols and even rifles before, I've never shot a shotgun. I borrowed a 20 gauge from a friend but I couldn't hit crap with it so I upped the ante and switched to the 12. Lots more powerful but nothing this chic can't candle...I did get a bruise on my shoulder/armpit though.
