Keeping things simple with a smidge of Southern charm
There’s something so charming about farm fresh eggs. The unusual hues, the imperfect shapes, the rich yolks inside. They’re locally and responsibly grown, and they’re just simply the best!
A dear friend at our church started raising chickens over a year ago. Because she is so caring and kindhearted, she shares her eggs with families within the church. Each dozen is such a blessing, and my family is always so delighted to receive them.

I am all about comfort foods. Most breakfast foods (sugary cereals and poptarts aside) are all comfort foods to me. I love warm and flaky biscuits, fluffy scrambled eggs, sweet honey or syrup, and I certainly love my cheese grits! If I’m going to be honest, I think breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. My family even loves to have breakfast for dinner! It’s not that often that I get to stop and actually cook breakfast during the week day, but I always look forward to the weekends when I sometimes get to indulge a little.
If us Southerners love anything besides those delicious breakfast items I just mentioned, it’s a good casserole. Casseroles are staple dishes. I can’t think of very many occasions where making a casserole isn’t appropriate. If I see a casserole in a buffet line, I’m having some of that! So years ago when my mother-in-law made this dish, I fell in love fast. I’ve had a few different versions of “breakfast casseroles”, but this is the best breakfast casserole I’ve ever tasted. It’s simple, hearty, warm and oh so delicious!
This dish is PERFECT to serve as breakfast in bed on birthdays, anniversaries, or during the holidays. It’s also really good reheated!
Here’s what you’ll need to make it:…
This simple little recipe is one of my husband’s favorite things to munch on. His great grandmother wrote this one down in a cookbook that she shared with her friends and family years ago, and I know she’d love for it to be shared again with others. It makes for a perfect appetizer for nearly any occasion, and it has only 4 ingredients! Woohoo!
These sausage balls are also delicious for breakfast! I love to drizzle a little syrup over mine in the morning, but my husband loves to just reheat and go! These would be perfect to make ahead of time in a large batch and eat during busy work/school mornings!
What is your favorite simple appetizer to whip up? Leave a comment and let me know! I always love to try new recipes!
