Zooey turned TWO

Happy 2nd Birthday Zooey!

This year David and I hosted Thanksgiving. It turned out lovely (and here's hoping you all had a great one)!

Our little Zooey's birthday fell two days after Thanksgiving. We decided to switch things up a little bit from last year, and hold a Birthday Brunch for immediate family. Family started arriving around 10:30 and left around 1:30 just in time for Zooey's nap.

To make the brunch deliciously fun we set up coffee, juice, fruit, "top" your own waffles (toppings like strawberries, maple syrup, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, pumpkin spice, etc.), an egg casserole and a vanilla cake with chocolate icing! Everything was delicious, but we especially got a lot of compliments on the egg casserole and requests for the recipe. So I thought i'd share with you in case you're looking for an easy meal to feed many.

Simple Baked Egg Casserole

-Add sausage and peppers to egg mixture
-Put mixture in greased 9x13 inch pan

**You can add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese if desired

Enjoy!
