Mom's Breakfast Casserole

I rarely eat heavy breakfast foods, though I really, really love them. One of my favorites is something my mom throws together every now and then, her breakfast casserole. It's quite easy to make and I'm sure it's not original, but it's yummy just the same. :)

Mom's Breakfast Casserole
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 1 tube of breakfast sausage (used some other sausage since we can't find American breakfast sausage here)
  • handful of shredded cheese
  • 8-10 eggs depending on the size of your casserole dish
  • onions, diced, optional
Preheat oven to 350°.

Cook sausage on stovetop until browned.

Spray casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cover bottom of dish with potatoes. Layer the breakfast sausage on top. Sprinkle cheese over entire dish.

Whisk eggs in a separate bowl. Pour slowly filling in all the space between potatoes and sausage.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, until a knife comes out liquid-free.

Home Sweet New Home!

The last two weeks have been so busy that I haven't spent much time on the internet as I usually do. Ok well, as much time before I spent the summer traveling. This hiatus was from looking around for a villa to rent. We've been itching for a bigger kitchen and figured moving to a villa instead of an apartment would be the only way to get it. (By the way, here in Dubai houses are called villas.) Well, after a week or so of looking, we found one!


I can't believe we're giving up our full Persian Gulf view for a house in the middle of the desert, but it's big and we'll have more room for our hobbies. Kevin has been wanting a kayak forever but never had the room for it and I have been yearning for a garden. Now we'll be able to have both.

So the last few days have spent looking for furniture. We were able to get most of the stuff we need (since we're coming from a furnished apartment) from Ramadan sales and expats leaving the country. We're having a lot of fun setting up house, and even though we are renting, it feels more like "ours." More pics once we get our furniture delivered next week!
