Sunday...Funday!
It all started at 2am Sunday morning. That is when the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots game was on for us. We had our football friends over and decided to make breakfast and watch the game. I made my mommas breakfast casserole which is delicious, and tried a new Pinterest recipe of a cinnamon roll cake.
The batter is made from ingredients in your cupboard.
Then you mix together a cinnamon mixture and swirl it into the cake batter.
Then you make a glaze for the top which is just powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. This is an awful picture and I was rushing because the game was on... but it tastes delicious!!
The breakfast casserole that I made is extremely easy as well. If you are looking for a quick and easy recipe... try this one sometime. Cook a package of sausage (i like hot) with a small onion. Thaw a 2lb bag of hash browns. I only use like 2/3 of the bag because otherwise I think its too heavy on the potats. So in a 2 qt greased pan... layer the hasbrowns first.
Then mix together 5 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, and salt and pepper together. Pour that onto the potatos. Spread a layer of cheddar cheese next. Recipe calls for 3/4 cup but I think thats not nearly enough. :) After the cheese layer your sausage/onion mixture. And then top it off with cheese again. I cover the top...you can use whatever amount you wish.
Bake covered for an hour at 350, and then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or so. My oven doesnt have a temperature gauge and only baked for an hour total so just stick a knife in it to see if its done. :)
We also had french toast and bacon that our friends Melissa and Noel brought over. A LOT of food at 3 in the morning!! But we had a good time watching the game and hanging out.
After the game we slept for a few hours before I got up to meet some friends for a Girls Day Out!
We went to a restaurant called Med Asia for cocktails and lunch. So fun :)
Jess ordered the squid ink which she wasn't too excited about. I guess it didn't have much of a taste so she switched it out for a chicken curry dish. I don't know why you would even take one bite of something that looks like that!
I had yummy sushi! :)
And Heather a spicy beef dish.
We went for a walk in Bugibba and had a great view of St. Paul's island! I'm not sure if this is the spot that Paul shipwrecked on his way to Rome... but this is where the statue is. Pretty awesome :)
We stopped for dessert at this cute little place. The girls called it the Pancake Parlor but its more like our crepes. You can pick your toppings and they make them on these stones in like 30 seconds. I'm glad there was a line before us so I could watch. :)
Nutella.
Strawberries and "biscuits"... but I think they are like crushed cookies.
And then they fold it all together and slide it into a little cone shaped envelope. Pretty good!!
When I first saw this, I thought it was just like a joke...
Until I saw the carseat in the passengers seat. Facing forwards. :( Ahhh!!
It was a great day and when I got home I got to skype with my sister on her new iphone! I'm so excited because I know I'll be able to see the kids more often now that she has mobile skype :) YEAH!
Hope you all had a great weekend!!! I hope to share some exciting news with you tomorrow or tuesday. Will let you know as soon as I find out!! XOXO
