begin!! Welcome to a new month. 
Look for a variety of themed foods, twists on old favorites, Lenten Specials (meatless meals) and don't be surprised to find a wee bit of shenanigans along the way.

Contribute non-perishable items to your local food shelf.  
Another good start to the day 
Confetti Bacon Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole with a Tex-Mex Twist.
Cook's Notes: The best part about this dish is that it can totally be made ahead of time which is a major bonus. Take out of refrigerator and bring to room temperature before cooking. It's a great breakfast for entertaining filled with cheesy hashbrowns, eggs, chiles, green onions, red bell pepper with some Tex-Mex spices. Even if you aren't usually a fan of cottage cheese,  when added to the eggs it helps make this casserole moist and fluffy. You won't even know it's in there.
