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…

Homemade Crispy Cheese Chips
Crispy Cheese Chips are one of my favorite snacks… and they are low carb too! So Crispy There are so many options when it comes to your cheese options but when I went to the store to get the cheese slices I found a party pack of pre-sliced cheese and I grabbed it right up. It had cheddar, havarti, colby and gouda. I was so excited to see how each one would work. Much to my delight they all worked amazing! All turned out super crispy just like my favorite chips.

If broccoli is a no go in your house you could use cauliflower, asparagus or another of your favorite…
