I am becoming a big fan of brunch…mostly because of the wonderful combination of breakfast food without the just-waking-up-I-don’t-want-to-eat-much-food feeling. I don’t like big breakfasts. I do, however, like a big brunch! My mom has this really good breakfast casserole. She suggested I photograph her recipe and add it to the blog. My mom brought this dish to a bridal shower brunch we were both helping at this weekend, so I can truthfully say I tasted this recipe and it is very, very good! And not only does it taste good, it is extremely easy to make. Take a look!
