Here's a recipe that's so old - I don't know where I originally found it! This recipe is hand-written on a plain index card that I've stored in my recipe binder.

My Favorite Breakfast Casserole
I love one-pot meals for supper and have tried to find the perfect one-pot dish to make for breakfast.

Brown Rice Burrito Bowl: My Go-To Supper For One!
It's college sports season which means I'm seeing a little less of my husband. I'm not a March Madness widow, but his schedule as a college referee keeps him away from home during meal time at least once a week.
