Chicken 'n' Rice casserole

My meal this month is a simple casserole This is a meal I grew up eating in my family and now I am happy to still serve it my girls. It is always a crowd pleaser. It will be completely cooked and I am putting it in gallon bags to freeze. I am guessing that you just take the bag out and thaw completely, then put it in a casserole dish and put it in a 350 degree oven to warm through. We like to cover it with foil to cook and then take the foil off for the last 10-15 minutes to brown the top. If you want to be daring, try squeezing fresh lemon or lime juice on top. That is another twist my family has put on this meal. Maybe try it without and then put some juice on the next little bite and see if you like it. Just a suggestion. Yummy!

Breakfast for Dinner!

In an effort to think outside the box (and not do a meal too similar to Shauna's!), I am going to run with my opportunity in the "other" category. I hope other families are like ours and sometimes have breakfast for dinner. I am going to make Peach French Toast and give you the goods to make some scrambled eggs as well. I've never frozen this dish but I think it will work fine b/c you are supposed to let the bread soak up the egg mixture the night before. A good day or two of thawing should do the trick. I'll post details on cooking and the recipe later.

A little scared!!

Okay so for this month I am doing Lasagna. But it won't be homemade. Today I was in a hurry after church to make something because believe it or not just because I have 2pm church I still didn't get dinner in the crock pot. So I go to my freezer and I see I have a pre cooked lasagna. Now alittle back ground on this lasagna. It is so yummy! I had never ever bought a precooked lasagna in my life because I just thought they would be totally gross. Well I was at my mom's one time and she made lasagna and Casey and I both LOVED it. When I asked her what her recipe was she said it is actually the Wal-mart brand lasagna! I have made this for lots of people for meals that I had to take over and you can ask Amy Jensen she came up to me at church and said...is your lasanga recipe in the ward cook book because I have been eating all week and love it. When I told her it was the Walmart lasagna she died. My kids love it. Hobbs is alot like your little boy Marianne that he is so picky and lives on about 3 different foods but when I pull out this lasagna he chows!!
So if you guys have any problems what so ever of me doing this please tell me because I will not buy them but if your on the fence then give it a try and you will like it! And the good part is you can either cook it for an hour frozen or cook it frozen in the microwave for 13 minutes and it is perfect! So I will be giving you lasagna and rolls...if you want! ;0)

Pork Preference??

Hey, I have pork this month so I will be using ham. I have two ideas, please let me know if you have a preference.
1. Honey glazed ham and homemade rolls OR
2. Cheesy ham and potato casserole (like funeral potoatoes but with ham chunks)

:)

Next Exchange

I don't know if people will be going out of town for Labor Day weekend so what about an exchange on Thursday the 28th? We could do the same thing we did last month but at my house if you wanted? I have to get Gracie from school at noon so maybe 10:30?? Let me know. Marianne do you want to rotate the assignements for this month.
Thanks Ladies!

Sweet Pork.. Sweet Meal!

We had the sweet pork a la Costa Vida the other night. We had the Messengers over and shared our grub and made a HUGE meal out of it! We made the dressing and the cilantro-lime rice. Todd also made some mango-pico-de-gallo. And we had all the fixins to make a great meal. Thanks Shauna!

Yummy to my tummy!

We have had the chicken sauce over the biscuits, chicken divan, pot stickers & London broil. We have enjoyed it all! I didn't even have a problem heating up the chicken divan in the foil pan. Thank you everyone!
