There are a lot of different homestyle recipes I lean back on during tough times. My husband and I are saving up for a mega-two-week camping trip in the middle of June. That means I've been cutting back where I can, especially my grocery list. It's one easy area to save on money. I had… Continue reading Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

French Onion Chicken & Rice
My French Onion obsession continues with this insanely delicious casserole. I made French onion potatoes a few weeks ago and they were a massive hit. I've made French Onion Chicken & Noodles before and it was also a great recipe. This chicken & rice recipe, though, may take the cake. It's a simple recipe that… Continue reading French Onion Chicken & Rice
Brown Rice & Chicken Enchilada Casserole
New Year, New You, am I right? I hate that phrase. I LOATHE it. It's the same catchphrase that gets used incessantly over the holiday break and it drives me nuts. Sometimes, though, it makes sense. A New Year means a fresh start. A new beginning. The slate is wiped clean and you have 365… Continue reading Brown Rice & Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Slow Cooker Ham and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
If I ever ran for public office, I'd run on one position and one position only: make breakfast casserole a year-round thing. Why is it that we only eat it around the holidays? That's a travesty, in my opinion. I make breakfast casseroles throughout the year. I like them because my husband and I can… Continue reading Slow Cooker Ham and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
Queso Chicken and Rice Casserole
I'm in the midst of mourning right now. In a frenzy to stop gorging myself on homemade Chex Mix (which I make every Christmas season), I didn't fasten the lid to the tin it well enough and ended up dropping the entire batch on the floor. I'm not going to lie---I also dropped a good… Continue reading Queso Chicken and Rice Casserole
Fully Loaded Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
Love it or hate it, green bean casserole is a polarizing side dish. I'm in the "love it" camp. I love everything about it: the creamy mushroom soup, the salty canned green beans, the crispy French-fried onions. I get why green bean casserole gets a bad rap, though. It is a bunch of less-than-stellar ingredients… Continue reading Fully Loaded Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
Homestyle Chicken Pie
You did not read that title wrong. This is chicken pie. Not chicken pot pie. Is there truly a difference? Barely. This chicken pie lack vegetables and a round shape, and those are about the only things that differentiate it from chicken pot pie. I made this because it sounded right up my husband's alley.… Continue reading Homestyle Chicken Pie
Cheeseburger Bake
I'm an avid collector of cookbooks. I'm not picky, either. I'll collect old cookbooks, new cookbooks, cookbooks from recognizable chefs, obscure cookbooks, church cookbooks, cookbooks that are falling apart...you name it. My FAVORITE cookbooks to find in the wild, though, are Gooseberry Patch cookbooks. Gooseberry Patch started in the late 80's as a mail-in recipe… Continue reading Cheeseburger Bake
French Onion Chicken Casserole
This year I planted a vegetable garden for the first time. I bought a simple, self-watering garden box from Costco and then loaded up on seeds and soil. I even bought plant food just in case I needed it! Everything was chugging along fine for a few weeks. My seeds slowly grew into sprouts (what… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Casserole
Crab Rangoon Casserole
There's one food I'll always cherish, no matter what: crab rangoon. I remember my best friend and I loading up on crab rangoon at our favorite Chinese restaurant when we were in high school and college. It was always our favorite part of the buffet, and we would savor every last creamy bite. My best… Continue reading Crab Rangoon Casserole
