{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?

{bunny ear cake}

Easter Sunday is this weekend. More importantly, Good Friday! Ha! I can FINALLY drink booze again! So watch out, mama’s getting buzzed. With a couple little hiccups in the last 46 days. Keep’n it real, the struggle is real.

Since I have so much extra time on my hands, I made the sweetest Easter cake for dessert last weekend. We had my 95 year old grandmother + her caregiver, Eda and my parents over for dinner after Palm Sunday service. And I served this sweet cake.

It’s semi-homemade. Semi-naked. Bunny ear cake!

{lucky charm bars}

I kinda had a Mom fail this morning. You see, I’m known to be a Holiday Whore. Taking Holidays a little overboard is my thang. This year, not so much. Watching Instagram stories this morning made me feel like I failed. Not really! All the Leprechaun traps. Green toilet bowls. Foot prints. Festive snacks. I was THAT mom.

Honestly, I felt like my teenager was over all my over-the-top Holiday themed goodies. Turns out, she’s not. I think when you become accustomed to treats each Holiday, you actually look forward to them.

Thank god for Target Shipt. Ha! I had ALL THE THINGS green delivered to our doorstep to assembly St. Patrick’s Day green baskets. One for my girl and a couple more for our nephews.

Instantly I felt festive + happy AF! I LIVE for this stuff. And I can’t wait to drop off some Leprechaun cheer to my peeps.

I you too didn’t get all crazy this morning, don’t even trip. YOU ARE A GOOD MOM! A GREAT MOM! But, damn – social media sure can make you feel like you’re not for a hot one.

If you have a box of lucky charms. A stick of butter. And a bag of marshmallows. I got you!

{bay bakes // chocolate chip cookie bars}

Sweet. Salty. Chocolaty. Shall I keep going?

If you’re working on your quarantine bod too, I got a good one for you. Really, Bay has a good one for you!

In the last week or so there is one thing I’ve become very good at, taste testing! Ha! And these bars get my stamp of delicious approval.

Is it possible that baking cookies into the form of bars actually makes them taste better? I think Bay might be on to something here!
