Book Addiction


Hi I'm Kari and I've always been addicted to books.

I just finished reading The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch, which is a fun piece of historical fiction. But it is rare to find a book that leaves me desperate to know what is happening next.

The following book on my reading list was Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I started it yesterday and am 70% of the way through. I'll be finished by Wednesday if not sooner. Now this is that oh my I can't leave these characters alone kind of book. I hope the movie does it justice!
What's on your night stand? Any super page turners that I should pick up?

Hash Brown Bake


One of my dearest friends came over a few weekends ago for a slumber party. Since she is the Pugancious Vegetarian I wasn't about to serve meat for breakfast!

Intro a twist on my Mom/Grandmom's Hash Brown Bake:
1 26 oz frozen hash brown potates
1 stick margarine melted
1 can cream of mushroom soup (Non-Vegetarians can use cream of chicken)
80z of sour cream
16 oz of Shreded Cheddar Cheese
Onion powder
Adobo powder (optional)
Garlic Powder
Black Pepper

Mix together and cook at 350 uncovered for 1 hour. You can make the night before and pop in when you wake up (great for busy holiday mornings too)!


I served it with Maple flavored Morningstar Sausage. Enjoy!
