Banana Cream Pie
Did you know that there is a Banana Cream Pie Day? I didn’t until this year! March 2nd is Banana Cream Pie Day! It sounds like such a fun-type of day. This pie has been in recipe books since the 19th century. The filling is similar to the filling in many French tarts. The creamy custard filling can be topped with whipped cream, coconut, more bananas, nuts, or even chocolate. Interesting fact: The English version of this pie is called “banoffee” pie because it’s a cross between banana and toffee. So, celebrate the day by creating one of your own!

To be more mindful, you need to spend time getting your mind into the present moment, including what you are feeling, thinking about, worried about, exploring, and experiencing in the moment.

Potato, Sausage, and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole
I have always liked casseroles. Now that I am the main preparer of food for the house, I have found that I enjoy making casseroles as much as I like to eat them. Mix the ingredients and into the oven it goes! That’s easy! It took me a while to start looking into breakfast casseroles. They typically include all of the things I like — cheese, potatoes, and sausage — and it is possible in many cases to make casseroles ahead of time. Anything to make life a little simpler, right? This recipe is great for home breakfast but also could make a good potluck dish as well!
