Can I just say that I really wish I had time and money to dress up, cook fancy meals, bake fancy desserts, decorate, and just entertain all the time? Because I really wish it were possible. Looking at some of the wonderful bakers on some blogs, and on television… *sigh.
But my life consists more of being tired, broke, diapers, baby talk, and dealing with the public. Not quite as glamourous. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. Mind, I will continue dreaming of being able to do those things mentioned first. But I will enjoy what I’m doing now. It’s special. Being a wife, mom, daughter (in-law), sister (in-law), friend, and employee. I enjoy all the roles [most of the time]. And when I don’t, I really know that I should.
Okay, now that I have that confession out there… Let’s get cooking.
Oh, but first, a Cael interlude… He’s just too cute to pass up, ain’t?
{All smiles… and maybe *slightly stunned… *See next photo…}
{Great hair, eh?}
I made this dish a few weeks ago, because I was craving another dish. You see, my mom makes this great corn egg casserole dish. Normally for holidays. And it’s awesome. But I had no recipe. I had an idea of what to use, but I wanted to add some green veggies to it, just to sneak them into the meal. Just a warning though, we ate it before I remembered to get a picture of it cooked. So… that’s why the only pictures are before it was baked.
Veg Egg Casserole
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
4 eggs
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9×9 pan.
Throw the corn and broccoli in the pan.
In a bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients.
Pour over veggies.
Bake until middle is set (about 15-20 minutes).
Now, this is a bit different type meal… But don’t you dare hate on it, until you try it. It’s pretty darn good. Cael loved it, and hubby had seconds!
Day 9 – How you hope your future will be.
Another hard question.
Joyful. I hope that I will be joyful, if not always happy.
I hope that there are a few more kiddies running around, and that I learn to have more patience.
More on the material side… I’d love to see a new house in the future, with a huge, amazing kitchen.
These are just a select few that happened to come to mind right off the cuff. Of course there are many more thing I’d love to see in my future… but here is a glance inside my brain.
Have a great day! Talk soon!
