Breakfast Casserole / Quiche

My mom has made breakfast quiche every year for Christmas till recently since we are all grown and gone. I really wanted it this year so I got all the stuff (with my own twist) to get home and realize my pie pans are in storage so I made it in a casserole dish instead. 

Ingredients: 

1.5 (box of 2) refrigerated pie crust 

1 roll breakfast sausage

3 hand fulls (so about 2.5 cups) shredded cheddar cheese 

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms

12 eggs 

1/4 cup heavy cream 

Salt and pepper 

Lightly press pie crust in casserole dish, may be uneven on sides and that's ok. Bake 350 8 min. Pull out and let cool.

Brown sausage, half way through add mushrooms and onions. 

In bowl whisk eggs and cream till good and airy. Add salt and pepper but do not stir. Will mix in when you pour it. 

Put meat mixture on top of crust. Add cheese, then pour eggs over it. 

Bake 350 20-30 min or till golden brown. 

Had my dad and his girlfriend over too and everyone loved it! My 3 year old didn't even realize there were mushrooms and onions in it 😉. 

Enjoy!

Confetti Cookies with Cream Cheese Icing

My son and I started our Christmas baking today with very easy and yummy cookies! I wanted to make a few things this year so I looked in the pantry to see what I already had that I could use to save money. Well a box of Dunkin Hines confetti cake mix popped out at me. (You can use any brand) I thought, bet I could make this in to cookies. So I turned to trusty Pinterest to see what to use to make cookies instead of cake and it payed off. 

1 box confetti cake mix

2 large eggs

1/4 cup oil 

Mix together till smooth, put flour on your hands to keep from sticking and roll in to balls. Place 1 inch apart and Bake at 350 for 8-10 min. 

It's that easy! They are soft and delish alone but...

Of course we needed icing so what better than cream cheese icing! Again very easy. 

1 8oz block cream cheese, softened 

1 1lb box powdered sugar 

2tsp vanilla extract

1 stick butter, softened 

1tbs milk 

Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and butter together till smooth add milk to make it spreadable. 

-I put the icing in a ziplock for easy frosting. 

All good reviews so far on these, they are very sweet but so good!!! 

Enjoy!

Hunt Camp Venison Stew

This recipe couldn't be any easier or tastier!!! My husband gave it to me after he and his buddy Chad made it (with elk) at the hunting camp. You could also use beef if you don't have a hunter in the house.

1 16oz bag frozen baby lima beans

Add frozen veggies and potatoes, cook another hour

Add canned tomatoes and seasonings, cook another hour.
