Beef stew! It’s what for dinner!

7:32 PM Sassy
Here are my easy recipe notes – 
Cook egg noodles in boiling water, drain and set aside. 
2 20 ounce cans of Dinty Moore beef stew
2 heaping teaspoons of minced garlic
2 cans of sliced mushrooms 
Simmer all ingredients in a pan. 
Pour over egg noodles, added freshly chopped onions for crunch and topped it off with shake cheese! 
Took about 20 minutes. Makes four big bowls worth. Yum!

They’re sending me for an ultrasound. Bleh

Ultrasound lady (who doesn’t usually say anything) said it looks fine

10:18 AM Sassy

10:38 AM Sassy
Giving me antibiotics and sending me home. Duh.
So glad I wasted hours and $100 co-pay to get the same thing the clinic usually does. NOT.

Fabulous! Good to check it out though.

12:27 PM Sassy

Wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family! And my niece did my hair two ways!

The beautiful centerpiece!
I brought three pies from Star Market – pumpkin, 
pecan and apple/berry.
A friend made a chocolate cake!
Another friend made cookies!
My niece made the whipped cream!
My “taste of everything” dessert plate!

9:18 PM Sassy
Hope you had a special day!

Breakfast Casserole

November 21, 2018 Wednesday

8:02 AM Sassy
Good morning kid! Have a wicked good Wednesday!
I’m working at home this morning then going to hunt for pie!

8:35 AM Phil
Good morning! Enjoy the day and hope you find a good pie. I’m searching for breakfast casserole recipes and maybe a pie recipe. I’m going to bake an apple and pumpkin pie. Off to the beach in the AM!

12:43 PM Sassy
Here’s the only breakfast casserole I’ve ever had – a coworker brought it to work and I asked for her recipe! I did have a bacon cheese quiche once, with bacon slices criss-crossed on top that looked spectacular.

Breakfast Sausage and Egg Soufflé

Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs “hot” bulk sausage
9 eggs, slightly beaten
3 cups milk
1 ½ tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
3 slices white bread, cut into ¼ inch cubes
1 ½ cups grated sharp cheese

Grease a 2 X 9 X 2 inch pan.
Brown crumbled sausage in skillet. Drain well on paper towels.
In a bowl – mix eggs, milk, mustard, & salt. Stir in bread, sausage,
& cheese.

Pour into prepared pan and refrigerate overnight.

Bake uncovered at 350 F for 1 hour.
Serves 10…makes large servings.

12:44 PM Sassy
I just braved the grocery store to get a pie and picked up Dunkin for Hubby – he’s got a bad cold. The payroll is done… not sure what to do next?!

2:38 PM Phil
That recipe sounds good, I’ll give it a try.
On the way home. Gotta vacuum and mop before we leave.

2:39 PM Sassy
I’m considering toys and a nap.

2:50 PM Phil
That sounds like much more fun!

2:53 PM Sassy
Nap is winning…

2:54 PM Phil
Sweet dreams
