We are BIG fans of breakfast around here, so big that we have breakfast for dinner at least once a week. Aside from your breakfast basics like cereals, eggs, pancakes, and waffles or French toast, I like to throw a nice breakfast bake in every now and then. Since we are still swimming in ham from Easter, I thought it was time to do a Egg, Ham and Cheese Breakfast Bake and it was a hit with the entire family!

Ingredients

1 dozen eggs
1 can of refrigerator biscuits cut into pieces
2 cups of diced ham
1 lb cheese
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup green onion diced
salt & pepper

Directions

1.  Beat eggs and milk together in a large bowl and add remaining ingredients.

2. Add a dash of salt and a pink of pepper and mix.

3. Pour mixture into a 9×13 casserole dish and bake at 350* for 30 minutes or until knife comes out clean.

4. Serve and enjoy!

Devious Maids Season 1

Since we ditched cable over a year ago, there are quite a few shows we haven’t seen but I have heard about.  One of the shows a lot of my girlfriends have been talking about is Devious Maids and until recently, I had no clue why.

Libby and I recently sat down and binge watched the first season Devious Maids and I have to admit, only a few minutes into the first episode, we were sucked in.


Honestly, I should have known we were going to be hooked since it is a comedy-drama series created by Marc Cherry and we were huge fans of his hit, Desperate Housewives.

For those who are unfamiliar, Devious Maids is about five women who are bonded together by their jobs, their dreams and the dirt they sweep under the rug.  The series focuses on four Latina maids who work in the homes of some of Beverly Hills’ wealthiest and most powerful families.  The storyline is filled with dirt, schemes and even murder!

The show’s cast includes Ana Ortiz (from Ugly Betty) as the lead character, and Dania Ramirez, Roselyn Sánchez, Edy Ganem, and Judy Reyes as other maids, with Susan Lucci, Rebecca Wisocky, Tom Irwin, Brianna Brown, Brett Cullen, Mariana Klaveno, and Grant Show all in featureed main roles. 

Devious Maids Season 1 is now available for purchase on DVD at a retailer near you.  Season 1 has 13 episodes and some great bonus features including extended and deleted scenes and bloopers, which are always my favorite!

 Don’t forget to tune into Lifetime on Sunday, April 20th for the Season 2 premiere!
