While Celebrating my birthday in WALT DISNEY WORLD we made reservations for Restaurant Marrakesh in the Moroccan Pavilian for a late lunch (and snacked our way Around the World for the rest of the day). We decided on Marrakesh for lunch after hours of research and conversations – the meal was delicious and there was even some entertainment as well! (If we had more time, I also would have loved to dine France & meet Ratatouille, we’ll do that next time). When we got to Marrakesh, the lunch specials looked fantastic (there was a $19.99 one which was an appetizer, lunch & baklava and also a $27.99 Moroccan Special which included an appetizer, wide variety of lunch dishes and baklava). None of us were starving, so we combined those two special with two appetizers & just shared it all (sharing is a common occurrence in my family – thank goodness Rich was ok with that when we started dating, or this upcoming marriage thing would not be happening).

There is just something about a delicious & hearty breakfast on a Crisp Fall Morning that just makes you ready for the day. Pair that up with a delicious cup of (Pumpkin Spice) Coffee and maybe even some Apple Butter on top for good measure and it sounds like a perfect way to start any day!
I made this Breakfast Casserole last weekend. Rich went out for a run and he came back to the smell of this in the oven (see, this is my excuse for why I can’t start working out… who will make the goodies then!). We each had a nice sized piece and were energized for the day. The rest of this got cut into individual sized portions and wrapped up for quick breakfasts all week. All that we had then to do was pop one of these into the microwave and a weekend-quality-breakfast on a Wednesday was possible!
