I had a lot of fun in the kitchen and tried three new recipes this month! I’m starting off with a soup recipe, which I’d normally share during the fall or winter. We had quite a few cold and rainy days this month that were perfect for soup! I was happy for the cool weather – and the comfort food!
Recipe #1 – Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup
This was not complicated to make and tasted so indulgent! I made mine with coconut milk because I had some on hand and I personally cannot taste the difference (I’m sure most people could, though). In the picture it looks very “soupy,” but it was very hearty and satisfying. This recipe is a keeper!
Recipe #2: Cheesy Breakfast Casserole
I wanted a different casserole that I could make ahead and that didn’t feature bread as one of the main ingredients. This casserole fit the bill and is so good! I made it with bacon and ham instead of sausage. From now on, this will be my go-to breakfast casserole for holidays and brunches. I froze a few of the leftover slices, just to see how it would reheat. I let it thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating on a paper towel lined plate. It did fine – it obviously wasn’t as good as the first time, but it works.
Recipe #3: Beef Enchiladas
My Mom’s recipe for Beef Enchiladas is my all-time favorite, but this one is so quick and simple! I doubled the recipe and put one pan in the freezer. The day before I wanted to serve them, I put the unbaked enchiladas in the fridge to thaw and then baked them as usual the next night. So simple!

Oh man, I LOVE breakfast casseroles!!! That was a good idea trying to freeze it and see how it goes. Did it loose its crispy edges in the freezer? It seems like such a great time saver for mornings!

Freezing eggs always changes the texture somewhat, so it wasn’t as crispy as before. I don’t know if reheating it in the oven would prevent that, though!

That soup looks amazing! I love all of those ingredients so I’m sure I’d enjoy it. I’m also a huge breakfast casserole fan and I love having ham in them or turkey sausage. They’re so good to make and reheat for lunches. I haven’t tried freezing them before so I’ll have to remember that next time I have lots of leftovers.

The key on reheating any frozen egg dish is to let it completely thaw before putting it in the microwave – otherwise it gets really weird texture-wise. 🙂
