Easy Chicken Casserole

This is an oldie but goodie. My older kids loved this when they were younger. I think I have a couple of other variations that rotate through my menu plan but this was the first attempt at a chicken casserole that I made.

A lot of the older recipes I have are ones that were passed down or ones that I scribbled down on scraps of paper. These come from family and friends. Many of them come from dinners at our old church. They back good memories for me and I hope my kids will also be able to associate good memories to good food.

Crockpot Taco Soup

A friend invited me over for lunch one day and served this wonderful concoction. I’m not sure if this is close to her recipe or not but this stuff is good, really good. You can also make this on the stovetop if you don’t have a crockpot.

We like to serve this over rice to make it stretch a little bit further. Continue reading “Crockpot Taco Soup”

Emergency Rolls

These are a super easy, super quick fix for those days that get oh-so-busy! Days like today when I forgot to get my dough started for the dinner rolls I had planned to make.

These are also great when you want some fresh, hot bread to go with your meal but you don’t have the time or energy to make yeast rolls. These are so easy that my oldest sons had the recipe memorized when they were teenagers and they would make these and eat them with jelly. Continue reading “Emergency Rolls”

Gorgonzola Pasta with Mushrooms

This is one of my favorite dishes however my kids are not too crazy about the gorgonzola cheese. I will either leave it out or add just a tiny bit when I make this and then sprinkle more on my plate as I love the cheese. If you can’t find the gorgonzola you can substitute it with bleu cheese.

This is really good with a salad and breadsticks.

Buttery Bread Sticks

This is another version of our breadsticks, the same basic recipe just a little bit different. I love those recipes that can work in different ways. If you like cheese and garlic then you should check out the Cheesy Garlic Sticks. Or see the Cinnamon Dippers for a sweet version. Continue reading “Buttery Bread Sticks”
