Slow Cooker Ham and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
If I ever ran for public office, I'd run on one position and one position only: make breakfast casserole a year-round thing. Why is it that we only eat it around the holidays?

Pecan Pie Brownies
Can we talk about how expensive pecans have gotten? I have NEVER seen them this high. I get inflation and all that jazz, but pecans were getting into the "too pricey for me" index years before inflation hit. I don't get it, either. They're ABUNDANT here in the south. Heck, I have a pecan tree… Continue reading Pecan Pie Brownies
