Put thought, love, sweat and tears (okay, please leave those out just put love) into your gift giving with this nourishing sexy treat. AND the best part about this recipe is it’s GOOD for you.

Okay seriously t’is the season for some grounding, hearty goodness. With all the holiday craziness going on it’s really important to find some footing and keep ourselves stress free. What good are we when we are stressed anyway? I know I’m not my best self when under stress which is why I am making it my mission to breathe and meditate for at least 5 minutes every day.

This cold weather really has me in soup mode so I was in desperate need to create something comforting, warming, delicious and not in broth form. Voila, this casserole was born. The best part? I’m pretty sure you have these things on hand and in your pantry making this an extra cheap, easy eat for dinner any day of the week. Grab that casserole pan and let’s get cozy!

I am a huge fan of cooking once and eating twice but in this case I can cook once and eat about 5 or 6 times (okay, maybe just a bit of an exaggeration). I just moved last week so anything that is simple to make and keeps me from spending hours in the kitchen (not that I mind that either) is absolutely a God send.
