Monte Cristo Breakfast Casserole
I don’t know. I just like to shake things up sometimes by putting two or three things together that I enjoy and hoping that it turns out right. Today? It’s a monte cristo sandwich and a breakfast bake or casserole. Yep. And guess what? It’s pretty damn tasty if I do say so myself. I’ll tell you another thing, after this past week, I deserved a little somethin’ something’ special.
This Monte Cristo Breakfast Casserole takes the cake. Like literally. It’s a monte cristo in the form of a better-for-you ‘strata’ or bake. Eggs. Cheese. Ham. Bread. Dijon. And you add a dab of raspberry preserves at the end and it’s done. And not depending fried or battered. Just good. Tasty. Breakfast…

I realized that it had been a hot minute since I made any sort of unicorn inspired recipe, so… I had to fix that today. When I said I was going to keep things fun and bright during Spring Break here, I wasn’t kidding! This Rainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll is as delicious as it is pretty.
This is a vanilla based cake that’s colored in the best of ways and rolled up with a lightly sweetened cream cheese filling. It’s great as a sweet breakfast option, brunch, or even as dessert. Really there wouldn’t be any bad time of day to have rainbow amazingness in your life…

Now that Valentine’s day is over, we can move onto the next holiday on the list. St. Patrick’s Day! I say it every year, St. Patrick’s Day is one of my top three holidays. Partly because I’m Irish and partly because it’s my dad’s birthday! Being as my little one strangely loves corned beef, I decided to make some WELL ahead of time, and honestly I’m not sure why I don’t make it more often through the year.
I decided to use up the leftover corned beef to make this Reuben inspired salad. It has all the makings of a reuben sandwich in the form of a salad. Making it a perfect low carb, keto friendly and gluten free way to enjoy a reuben!…

Two things are staple dinners in this house almost every week. And that’s tacos (on Tuesdays) and pizza! Yep. That’s right. I eat pizza. A lot of it too. Not a lot as in amount, but a lot as in often. I guess that’s what happens when you have a kid. Pizza and tacos.
I can put almost anything on a pizza crust and it’ll get eaten. And with St. Patrick’s day being a family favorite holiday, I thought now would be the best time to make a reuben inspired pizza! For those of you that may not know, a reuben is a sandwich that’s typically made on a rye bread with pastrami, swiss, sauerkraut, and a thousand island dressing. It’s good stuff!…
