Savory Solutions

By

Welcome to a new series on the Imperfect Home, Savory Solutions.  I found some very talented women that agreed to write a guest post to share with us.  Each guest will be sharing one of their favorite SAVORY recipes as well as one of their favorite organizing SOLUTIONS.  You’ll also get to peek at some talented bloggers and business owners.  Let’s begin, shall we?

Our first guest Amanda, authors the blog Confessions of a Wannabe Supermom. She has a great tip and recipe below, but please take a stroll over to her blog for some more fantastic ideas.  Here is her post:

I stumbled across one of my favorite organizing tools by accident.  I was looking for hanging shelves for my boys’ closets – like a sweater shelf – so I could organize things a little better.  What I found (at a bargain store, nonetheless) were hanging shelves with each shelf labeled, Monday through Saturday.  Those shelves are one of the best purchases I ever made!

Each week, I stock their shelves with everything they need – shirt, pants, underwear, and socks.  All they have to do is grab the clothes off the shelf, and they can get ready for the day.  It’s a lifesaver for us!  I work and go to college, so most days I leave the house long before my husband and kids ever get up.  It makes it so much easier on him to get the kids ready.

With our hectic schedule, I also love quick and easy recipes.  A favorite of ours is my quick and easy breakfast casserole recipe.  You can cook it in the oven for breakfast, or in the slow cooker for “breakfast for dinner.”

Breakfast Casserole

  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1 lb. sausage, browned and drained (I like sage sausage the best)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 5 to 6 biscuits, torn into shreds

SLOW COOKER:

  • Mix all ingredients together except half of the cheese and pour into a greased slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  • Cover and cook 2 hours on high and 1 hour on low.

OVEN:

  • Mix all ingredients except half the cheese and pour into a greased baking dish.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees and sit casserole out.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes.

About Amanda

My name is Amanda. I married the man of my dreams almost 11 years ago, and now I’m a pastor’s wife and working mom to two boys.  I also lead our church’s children’s ministry, and did I mention that I’m going back to college for a degree in dental hygiene?  My life is crazy busy, but we are truly blessed, and I love it!

I grew up in Arkansas, now live in Texas, and dream of getting to Tennessee one day.  I love cooking, crime shows, coffee, blogging, working out, and a rainy day with a good book.  I blog at Confessions of a Wannabe Supermom (http://justamandaslife.blogspot.com) about my crazy life and the things that mean the most to me – faith and family.  Along the way, I love sharing recipes I love, great finds, and the everyday craziness of life.  You can also find me on Twitter @amandablogs.
