Happy Easter a day early! I bring you this mushroom and asparagus strata to make for breakfast tomorrow morning. As if you don’t already have your menu planned out.
I thought this would be a great spring time breakfast using asparagus since they are in season right now. You can also add sausage or ham to this and it would be great!
You guys– Wal-Mart and I are not friends right now! Honestly, I am not sure why I shop there some days. The Easter candy isle was like a war zone.
Moms were pulling hair, crashing into each other, shouting obscene words and for what???? A poor defenseless chocolate rabbit on the shelf with no hole to hide in.
There were so many people shopping in those tiny little isles!! But honestly it’s not Wal-Marts fault. It’s mine for putting things off to the last minute (as I usually do).
But learning from the past buying that candy early always means I have to buy it again. And the funny part is I am not the one who ate it which leaves only one other person who knew where I hid the stash and he seems to know nothing about the disappearance. Love you honey but I know it’s you!
Well, I hope your family has a safe and blessed Easter!
