You guys we are in a blizzard mode. Snow all weekend long is what the weather people are saying. And it just happens to be our first big snowfall of the season. My son is beyond excited and my daughter…well..she has no idea.

I think I’m more excited for her because you know first snow pics are a must. Plus I got her the cutest little infant sled that I can’t wait to use.

My favorite part about snow is when it happens on the weekend (preferably) and we are all home, cozying up by the fire and just being lazy. I actually love to cook on snowy days. It’s the ultimate homey/cozy thing for me. And I’m prepared to do that this weekend.

Me and the hubby are currently cooking our way through two cookbooks. This one that I’ve been dying to get my hands on forever and it’s all about the veggies! The second is an old favorite that is perfect for weekend cooking. We normally pick one recipe and make it on a Sunday night. It’s one of few ways we get to spend time together.

Our 9 month old pretty much rules our world these days so date nights either consist of nightly cooking sessions or movie watching, and even that ends up in one of us passing out half way through the movie. I know, don’t get jealous.

As far as breakfast though, my hubby still makes his weekly batch of “russian pancakes” on Saturdays, and on Sundays, we normally end up having more of a brunch and this Egg and Veggie Loaded Weekend Casserole can not be more perfect brunch food. Made all in one dish, in the oven, with minimal prep.

It’s loaded with broccoli, russet potatoes, and sweet potatoes that you roast until fork tender. Then crack in the eggs, add a sprinkle of cheese, and roast some more. It truly is an easy breakfast casserole. You can chop the veggies in advance and have everything ready to go in the morning.

Serve it with a dollop of sour cream, fresh salsa, or greens.

Notes

For vegetables to roast and brown in the time indicated above, make sure you are not over-crowding them, otherwise, the vegetables will steam and take longer to roast. I found that a 2-quart dish works great. You can always go a little bigger just to be safe.
