{cadbury protein balls}

The other day I heard someone say “what’s a Cadbury mini egg?”  Like WTF?  Are you even living?  If you’re one of those odd ducks that don’t know – you are missing out. It’s a delicious egg-shaped chocolate that’s coated in a colorful candy shell. Sadly, they are only available during Easter season, so it’s necessary to eat as many as you can while you can!

So, let’s add some protein powder and call them “healthy” k?

{sonoma | mother + daughter weekend}

When most people think of Sonoma County, they think of wine. I used to, too. But there are things to do in this part of Northern California beyond the vineyards, and Bay and I spent 36 hours here and discovered a lot of them.

An hour and 5 minute driver from our house to Sonoma Square.  Basically Napa’s little sister.  Wayyy more laid-back and local.  After our Paris trip, I’ve realized, I’m obsessed with the Parisian style.  Who knew Sonoma gave all those vibes I was missing.

{high protein pancakes}

Cottage cheese pancakes? Yes ma’am, you heard me right. I have never ever been a fan of cottage cheese. Like it straight up grosses me out. But, I will try anything once….or twice. The way I see it – if cauliflower can be pizza, then why the hell can’t cottage cheese be pancakes?

{the perfect side salad}

Last month I scored last minute tickets to Rachel Devaux’s book signing in Larkspur. She released a book full of her easy, laid-back, nutrient-rich recipes, Rachael’s Good Eats.. If you follow her on Instagram, then you know. Rachel was legit the sweetest influencer I’ve ever met. She took time to give each person a giant hug, ask where you came from. I told her I live for her Sugar cleanse. Which she then flipped to the page in the book – there is a 2-day sugar cleanse that I plan to try next week! Oh and Bridger, her husband then offered to take our picture with my phone. No rush, just very chill and made everyone feel so special for coming. I could go on and on….

{poolside salad}

The perfect summer time salad. I always want big fresh salad after a day in the sun. Or poolside.

I didn’t measure anything. Just toss in the veggies and drizzle with your favorite ranch dressing. I’m loving the Trader Joes buttermilk ranch dressing at the moment. The leftovers are great the next day too!!!

{coffee cake cookies}

Bay saw a TikTok of a girl making these the other day. We watched the video + gathered all the ingredients and piece-milled the recipe. You guys – these are quite possibly the best cookies I’ve ever had. I know, I know – I’ve probably said that before. But, you gotta trust me on this one.

The recipe – intense. The outcome – worth it! The dough – dangerous.

Bay made me a batch to take to the Omega Nu Bunco tonight, so if you’re there, be sure to grab one and let me know what you think!!

{sausage egg biscuit casserole}

Can you believe we’re already talking Holidays? Or is that just me? Ha!

We officially put up our Christmas lights on our house. And have them plugged in! Bay + I put them up while Cory was golfing last weekend. He would have NEVER put them up this early, but he hasn’t complained. I think he’s just relived he didn’t have to do it. lol.

And, if I had a fake tree – it would also be up and lit up right now! But, we have to wait until Thanksgiving.

I got realllllly off topic….. I’m really here to share a new recipe!!

This breakfast casserole is incredibly easy to put together It can be made the night before and stored in the fridge until it’s go time. Pop into the oven and you’re good to go! This is the perfect, throw together, meal when you are feeding a small crowd or for the Holidays.

Wonder if the fam bam would be down with trying something new this Christmas morning?
