I've been a little melancholy (do people even use that word anymore?) for the past couple of days. I have so enjoyed having the three kids home for the past couple of weeks during their winter break and I so dread sending them back to school on Monday. I wish I could just lounge around with those guys and snuggle them every day. But, such is life. We've been trying to squeeze in a bunch of last-minute fun things during these final days of their break. I took them swimming at an indoor pool on Friday and after a stop off at a birthday party early yesterday afternoon at our local bowling alley, we nestled in by the fire for a relaxing evening at home.
This delectable recipe was made. Hot fudge sundaes were eaten. We read books. They tinkered with Legos. We played a few board games.
It was pure bliss.
I was inspired to make this recipe from the beautiful Kay over at Kayotic Kitchen. She calls her version Lazy Sunday Casserole. I so appreciate and adore roasted, caramelized veggies of any kind. So, I was drawn to this dish. However, since I didn't make it on a Sunday and to better convey (and capture) the essence of the dish, I decided upon a different name. Whatever you want to call it, it's darn tasty and a perfect recipe to make on these chilly winter days.
