Bananas Foster French Toast Casserole

I love entertaining with breakfast casseroles. You assemble them the night before, stick them in the fridge, and then the day-of, all you have to do is bake them! This allows you to actually spend time with your guests instead of preparing food! You can prepare it the same day you want to bake and […]

Spaghetti Squash Taco Bake

I saw a recipe a while back by Hungry Girl that was a Mexican casserole made with spaghetti squash. I read the recipe once and thought it sounded good, so I decided to make it. I love Mexican food, and I’m always game for a lightened up recipe. Well, the day I went to make it, […]

Happy 2015, Erik Estrada!

[social_share style=”square” align=”horizontal” heading_align=”inline” facebook=”1″ twitter=”1″ google_plus=”1″ linkedin=”1″ pinterest=”1″ link=”https://www.thecocinamonologues.com” /] It’s been quite a while since I have posted on here. I’m not one to make excuses, but if I was, I’d mention that I’m pregnant with baby number two, have a one and a half year old, and work a full time job. […]

Mexican Veggie Impasta Bake

If there’s one food I could eat pretty much every day, it’s Mexican. I just love it! Tim didn’t much care for it when we first started dating, but he’s seen the light since he’s been with me. 😉 I first got the idea for this casserole from a Hungry Girl recipe. It seemed pretty […]

Superfood Casserole

Superfood casserole might seem like an oxymoron to you. When you think of casseroles, you probably don’t think of superfoods, and vice versa. Well, let me just tell you how this recipe came about and then maybe it’ll make more sense. As you may know, we have a one-year old son, Wes (14 months, to be exact). He […]

Savory Apple Bacon Sweet Potatoes

It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away!  Surely I’m not the only one who has started thinking about what I’m going to take to our family get-togethers.  I’ve mentioned before how much I love sweet potatoes.  Don’t get me wrong – I love the sweet, buttery, brown sugary, pecan topped sweet […]

Baked Oatmeal with Strawberries, Bananas, and Chocolate

I saw this recipe on Pinterest a while back, and it just looked so delicious.  Sometimes I need to cook breakfast for a crowd, like when we have family in town, so I am always keeping an eye out for new breakfast recipes.  You see a lot of breakfast casseroles that have eggs, meat, and […]

Fake Fancy: Cheesy Quinoa Casserole with Broccoli and Asparagus

Last weekend, I asked Tim what he thought we should cook for dinner Sunday night, and he chose cornish game hens.  When I was trying to think of what to cook with them, I remembered some quinoa I bought a while back and hadn’t done anything with.  I figured I could incorporate a vegetable somehow […]
