Wesley’s Breakfast Casserole
I always love my time with my AMAZING Niece and Nephew and this weekend was one of the best. Not only did we get a lot of “chill time” but we played a ton of games, laughed until our bellies hurt and we also cooked… rather the kids cooked. First they made dinner (stay tuned) and then breakfast. My niece, Audra, made French Toast Casserole (recipe coming soon) and Wes made this delicious Breakfast Casserole. Start Your Day Off Right! They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and my nephew loves a good hearty breakfast… sometimes he even has two. So when we started talking about…

Sweet & Spicy Bacon
Bacon is always a good thing in my world… but this bacon is AMAZING!!! Bake it Baby! The trick to this bacon is baking it…do you normally bake it? I started baking mine a while ago…not only does it make perfectly crisp, but still tender & it is so much LESS messy. There is no grease spattering up to burn you and you can let it bake while you work on something else such as eggs or gravy, making breakfast a breeze and so YUMMY! Spice it up! For this recipe I sprinkled it with a spice combo that is a little sweet with a little heat making for a perfect piece…

KETO Queso Burger
This KETO Queso Burger is everything you need in your life RIGHT NOW! This whole burger kinda happened by accident. I was craving a burger but I also wanted Mexican food, well really just quest dip, so I decided to marry the two into this amazing KETO QUESO BURGER! It all starts with the burger (and then the toppings) For this burger I went with a 80/20 blend of ground chuck.
