My 300th Post – Chinese Casserole

I knew this post was coming and I thought I would make a special dinner to celebrate.   But, just like every other mom I know, it was a busy night last night and we are low on funds, being the end of the month and all, so I went with what I had on…

Pork Divan Casserole

One of my kids favorite books is “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.”   Alexander has everything go wrong during his day.  When things go wrong in our house we look at each other and ask, “Are you having an Alexander day?” Now, I didn’t really have an Alexander day entirely but…

Easy Chicken Parmesan Casserole

This whole time change thing has thrown my entire family off schedule.   We didn’t even have brunch until almost 2:00 pm because we just couldn’t get motivated.  So, of course that put dinner way off schedule.  We spent the rest of the day cleaning and hanging pictures so everyone was really hungry when it finally…

Rachael Ray’s Cinnamon French Toast Casserole

We are heading into one of our busiest months of the year, March.  This is the month that the schools try to cram everything they can into as it is not quite the end of Winter and not quite Spring Break.  We have two talent show programs with four showings, a movie night, a dance,…

Sausage Hash Casserole

Two more nights until vacation.  Two more meals to try to create from my quickly dwindling pantry and refrigerator supplies.   We are surprising our son with the vacation so every time he asks, “Why don’t you just go to the store and get x or y?”  I have to tell him that it’s not pay…

Broccoli and Ham Brunch Casserole

As we begin the New Year it seems that everyone is making resolutions.   Mine is to get more fruits and vegetables into my children.  We do really good at dinner time.  We usually have at least one or two vegetable sides plus a spinach salad with all kinds of vegetables.  It is breakfast and dinner…

Herbed Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

This is my last casserole until after Christmas.  Then I will have to see what I can do with all the leftovers I am sure we will have! Last night’s dinner started out with as Cheesy Chicken Ranch Casserole from the Finding Joy in the Kitchen.com.  Of course I didn’t have half of the ingredients…

Scalloped Potatoes with Ground Beef

Things are getting busier day by day here.  Another night, another casserole.  I am trying to not spend any more money before Christmas so we are going to be using everything I can out of the pantry and freezer. I went searching for a dish that used ground beef and potatoes that I could make…

Moussaka Like Casserole

Last night I took ground beef out of the freezer.  I needed a quick casserole to get on the table. I have always wanted to try making Moussaka but never seemed to quite get around to buying the eggplant.  I love Greek flavors and when I saw this recipe for a Moussaka like casserole on…

Creamy Garlic Chicken

I am still making casseroles for dinner.  This one took a bit more effort as I had to boil the chicken first.  I decided to actually boil an extra serving of chicken so that I would have the chicken cooked for the next casserole.  I am trying to plan ahead to keep things as simple…

Pastitsio

So we still have about 6″-7″ of snow left on the ground even after two days of it melting.  I am still searching for comfort foods. In New York, where we used to live, there was a huge Greek festival every year.  We would head over early in the afternoon for lunch and sit for…

Ravioli Casserole

Time seems to be slipping away lately.  I need to stretch the 24 hour days into 30.  But, since I don’t think that is going to happen I need to work smarter not harder. So, to that this uses frozen ravioli with a homemade sauce.  Yes, you can used jarred sauce or whatever you like…
