So another day of me not thinking about dinner until just about 30-45 minutes before I need to have something on the table. I stood in front of the dwindling refrigerator wondering what I can have that will not be a repeat meal for my family. I came close. Not a great picture but this…

Ham, Wild Rice and Spinach Casserole
Still trying to clean out the 2 freezers and pantry by instituting a No Buy Month. I have a bunch of ingredients to make things but finding new ways to combine things is getting tougher. This is another version of a recipe I made about a week ago. I had leftover ham in the freezer…
Tilapia over Wild Rice and Spinach Casserole
This recipe started as a Creamy Chicken, Mushroom and Wild Rice Casserole from Womansday.com. As you can see from the title I did not use chicken because in the process of trying to clean out my freezer and pantry by instituting a personal No Buy Month I had no chicken in the house. I always have…
Kielbasa, Potato and Cheese Casserole
I am trying to use up everything in our freezer, refrigerator and pantry this month so I have instituted a No Buy Month for groceries this month. I am allowed to buy fresh items like milk, eggs, vegetables and fruit but even those I am trying to limit so that I can use all the…
Pepperoni Pizza Casserole
I needed a quick dinner so that I could get the family out the door and to the Science Fair for my son and middle school scheduling night for my daughter. So, this was another to-go dinner. As anyone who has read my posts in the past knows, at least two nights a week my…
Chili Rellenos Casserole
I am not a fan of chiles. Ever. I don’t like overly spicy or hot things but when I saw this recipe I knew that my children would love it because they are always asking for authentic ethnic foods. Although I don’t make authentic anything I thought this would make them happy. I found this…
Buffalo Chicken Wing Casserole
Still on my Pinterest theme today. This was one of those recipes that I had almost everything I needed but still had to make a bit of substitutions. I NEVER use cream of something soups or premixed dressings if I can help it. I started with this recipe for Buffalo Chicken and Potatoes at Holy…
Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole
I first saw this recipe for Creamy Tuna Noodle Cazuela in my new Food and Wine magazine. I thought it sounded wonderful and most of my family love Tuna Noodle Casserole so I thought I would give it a try. As with most recipes I try I found that I either did not have or…
Cheesy Ranch Potato and Chicken Casserole
So the chicken I have been planning on using in fried chicken is still frozen after 3 days. Time for a new refrigerator. But, in the meantime I still have to feed my family. I decided to put together what I had on hand into a casserole and hope for the best. Ingredients: 1…
French Toast Casserole
I had half a loaf of Italian Bread leftover from last night’s dinner that I needed to use before it turned stale so I found a recipe for French Toast Casserole on-line that looked good. I started with this recipe for French Toast Casserole and then modified it according to the suggestions in the comments…
Ham and Swiss Impossible Pie
I needed to find something quick using all the ingredients I had in my refrigerator and I came up with this. It is a take-off on Impossibly Cheeseburger Pie from Bettycrocker.com. It was a hit. Quick, easy and cheesy all the things my family and I love. Ingredients: 1 lb diced ham 1 Tablespoon of…
Cheesy Potato Casserole
This recipe is an adaptation from Food.com’s Mom’s Cheesy Potato Casserole aka Funeral Potatoes. This recipe originally contained cream of chicken soup but having a gluten-free child we do not use canned soups. So I just tried it without the soup. Although it probably wasn’t as “firm” we all thought it tasted good. I served…
