I got pretty busy recently and decided to keep on hand a few recipes that still have a made-from-scratch feel, but are faster to prepare. This layered enchilada casserole recipe uses something we normally make ourselves – the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup. In this case, using the canned soup made the […]
I love a good, creamy hot soup on chillier days. I didn’t say winter days because an August day in Colorado can be chilly, like 50 degrees chilly. One of my favorite soups is our creamy Broccoli Potato Cheddar Soup. Creamy Broccoli Potato Cheddar Soup This is easy to make and I have a crowd to feed,
Every Thanksgiving and Christmas we prepare our favorite dishes, with my husband having a big role in making the turkey and the fresh homemade cornbread stuffing. A few years back he had the task of making our Thanksgiving feast for a house full as I was two days out of the hospital with our 6th
October is my favorite month of the year. Chilis and soups go with October like peanut butter and jelly. I’ll pretend that we aren’t having a warm streak as I say that. I have made this white chicken chili twice in the last week and a half, it is so good! I love two things
Hello, hello friends! Talking about how to make better freezer meals today and making our delicious cheddar chicken and broccoli. I have been away and busy with big things, well little big things. In January we were blessed with our second baby, little Norah Lynne. She’s almost 4 months old and such a happy, kissable little bundle.
Chicken pie with our classic rosemary white sauce, yummy! I’ve been making meals for the freezer this week for after the baby’s birth (I’m getting close!) Homemade chicken pie with our special rosemary white sauce has always been a freezer meal for a baby’s birth in my family. Pineapple upside down cake is another special after-baby-comes food,
Homemade Onion Straws We don’t fry food very often, but when we do, it’s wonderful. Do you know those yummy little fried onions you can get at restaurants? You can make them, and they are so good! I made a bunch of these last night, more than we needed! I’ve written the recipe to serve
Need a warm comfort food? Here is another potato soup, with roasted potatoes. So easy and GOOD! I’m using a 20-quart roaster. Yes. Big pots and cookers are prized around here. Roasters are only about $40.00 – we even roast our turkey in it to save oven space. Love my roaster! You will have to
I wasn’t sure how often I was going to use my crockpot when I got it, but now I’m so glad I got that for Christmas! I love using it. Even though there is only two of us to cook for right now, I love being able to start dinner early and add things in
Chicken enchiladas have been a staple dinner with my family for the past 12 years, and Josh likes it just as much now that I’m making it for him. I remember when we first started making chicken enchiladas… those were the cream of chicken soup days. We’ve upgraded to homemade white sauces since then! I
If there is one thing our family eats a lot of, it’s salad. We eat salad up to four times a week with dinner, not counting what mom and I consume for lunches. That adds up to a lot of salad dressing consumed as well! There are only a few different dressings we like, ranch
This morning my head wasn’t at all in the baking realm so I accidentally forgot very two important ingredients to our weekly bread. The oil and honey! My delicious whole wheat french bread happened by mistake! I added tofu powder which is sweet so that may have helped. The mistake made a bread that had
