Chocolate coconut sweet chex mix

 https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/gooey-almond-and-coconut-chex-mix/#wprm-recipe-container-92654


I just made this but used pumpkin seeds insteadinstead of almonds, decreased sugar to 1 cup, used 1/2 cup of corn syrup and 1/2 cup of honey, and 1 cup chocolate chips that melted in. Really yummy and going to decrease sugar even more next time.

Mark likes to drizzle olive oil And dried spices on after cooking. 

Hash Brown and Egg Casserole

 I made this for Logan’s baptism but I didn’t do Broccoli, upped the salt to 1 1/2  teaspoons. (Next time will do 2 teaspoons). I made with sausage or bacon. Both were good.,
