There's something about classic casserole recipes that just puts my mind at ease. Chicken and rice will instantly make my day better. Chicken spaghetti will fill me up with warmth and happiness. Stuffed shells or manicotti will make me dream of better days. One thing I've noticed in a lot of vintage cookbooks is something… Continue reading Hot Chicken Salad

Classic Squash Casserole
Summer produce is at its peak right now. Mid-August is the best time to buy tomatoes, watermelon, peppers, peaches and squash. The farmer's market was packed full of produce when we went this weekend. I love perusing the booths for the best of summer's harvest. Soon, the booths will close up shop and the produce… Continue reading Classic Squash Casserole
Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
While I was on the hunt for a new comfort food recipe the other day, I stumbled across this Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie is the ultimate comfort meal. Potatoes, ground meat, and veggies all combine to make this insanely craveworthy dish. This recipe, though, is just a tad different. It combines a lot of… Continue reading Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
Pineapple Casserole
You ever see a recipe in a cookbook and think, that can't be right? The ingredients don't add up, or the baking time seems off, or the description seems implausible? That's what happened to me when I first spotted Pineapple Casserole. The title makes it seem innocent. Pineapple Casserole. What could be weird about that?… Continue reading Pineapple Casserole
Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Biscuits
Over the last several weeks, I've been revisiting some classic cookbooks in my collection. I've got a massive collection so it's nearly impossible to go through them all, but I like to peruse a few at a time to spark some inspriation for my weekly menus. I've found quite a few good recipes from a… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Biscuits
Turkey & Black Bean Tamale Pie
You ever have these grandiose ideas for dinner, sit down to cook it up, and then it turns out nothing like you had envisioned? That was me cooking this tamale pie recipe. The first problem: I didn't make enough of the "tamale" mixture to cover the top. My second problem: I didn't season my "tamale"… Continue reading Turkey & Black Bean Tamale Pie
Chicken Paprikash Casserole
I'm sure most of your Thanksgiving leftovers are gone by now, but if you managed to freeze some turkey this recipe is for you. The weekend before Thanksgiving I meal prepped just one casserole to eat for lunch at work. I didn't want to take up to much space in my fridge and I knew… Continue reading Chicken Paprikash Casserole
Chicken Taco Casserole
I cannot get enough of this vintage cookbook I rediscovered in my collection. It's a compilation of recipes from women who attended the First United Methodist Church in Burkburnett, Texas in 1977. I started out cooking a knockoff KFC chicken recipe from the book for TikTok. After that, I was hooked. There are so many… Continue reading Chicken Taco Casserole
Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake
Woo. My whole life is packed up into dozens of boxes right now. I'm eating breakfast off of a paper plate and sipping coffee out of one of the two coffee cups I left out. We don't technically move until August 1st, but my husband and I have spent the last 5 days packing so… Continue reading Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake
Chicken Alfredo & Biscuits
If you start to poke around my kitchen, you'll notice an abundance of canned and jarred sauces. I love to keep tomato, alfredo, and curry sauces on hand. There's so much you can do with them. If you need to whip up a dinner real quick, just grab a jar, some protein, and either rice… Continue reading Chicken Alfredo & Biscuits
