Breakfast Casserole

-
This is one of those breakfasts that doesn't usually last as left-overs in my house.  The kids love it and request if for birthday breakfasts.  Saturday was one of those special days...its was Tava's birthday!
I actually found this picture from another day when she asked to make it.  On her birthday I let her sleep in to her heart's content and made it myself.  Although, she enjoys cooking with me so much it probably would've been something she WANTED to do on her birthday.  Hm...I'll have to remember that for next year.

Our princess turned 8 years old and since we are stuck at home during this stay-at-home order for COVID-19, the best we had to work with was anything already at home.  Luckily this dish requires items you usually have on hand anyway.  You can totally make it your own by adding your favorite veggies (mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, etc.) and other breakfast items to make an all-in-one meal with as much ease and simplicity as it takes to eat the darn thing.

Let's get at it shall we?

Homemade Mayonnaise

  I grew up as a “salad dressing girl” but my hubby was definitely a “mayonnaise man”.  I didn’t realize how many awesome recipes can be made with mayo to increase the flavor, perfect the consistency or add that certain something  to make a dish sooooo good:  Chicken broccoli casserole, scalloped potatoes, fry sauce, cilantro-lime ranch dressing, chocolate cake, and the list goes on. Well today we just felt like having good old fashioned sub sammies after church—until we remembered we were out of Mayonnaise ☹️.  Our family tries not to “break the sabbath” by shopping or doing other things that would keep us from spending time with family or focusing on the Savior.  And though it may seem small and insignificant to grab something as simple as mayo from the store, we try to alleviate all the extra running around on the sabbath by taking care of such things on Saturday.  Anyway, here we were without Mayonnaise.  So we did what we usually do in such s...
