Chicken, Broccoli and Rice

September 22, 2009 - Written by Diana

My husband snarfed the leftover broccoli from the band competition and asked if we should take it.  I said sure, I can freeze some and use some to make dinner.  He did a little happy wiggle (he does that) and asked if we could have the chicken and broccoli casserole that we love to eat. I told him sure, especially since it’s an easy meal to prepare and really delicious.  There are never leftovers of this. 

I have a small kitchen, so when I pull out my rice cooker I make extra rice and put it in the freezer.  If you have frozen broccoli, and rice, you can defrost them in the fridge during the day to make this a quick and easy dinner to pull together.  This casserole is very customizable, use your favorite ingredients to make it taste the way you like it best.

Sausage & Chard Crustless Quiche

August 24, 2009 - Written by Diana

Sausage & Chard Crustless Quiche I like quiches a lot, but more without the pie shell.  I’m that way with pies too, I like the insides the most. This was our breakfast this morning.  I used some herb garden chevre in it that we got from the cheese guy at the farmer’s market and some gouda (because it’s good-er that way). Quiches are fun because you can change it up a little – put in a different meat, or a different cheese, use some other veggies and it changes the taste for a whole new type of quiche. 

Ingredients:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Instead …

Shredded Vegetable Bake

July 28, 2009 - Written by Diana

I tried out this recipe from the Vegan Cook’s Bible by Pat Crocker.  We’re not Vegans, but we do enjoy all different types of dishes.  While my kids and husband are good about trying all different types of meals unlike their friends, they are really great about eating meatless meals.  The Shredded Vegetable Bake was delicious and used vegetables from my garden.  We served it with a tomato, cucumber salad on the side. 

Shredded Vegetable Bake Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 F.  Lightly oil 2 9X13 in baking pans. 

In large bowl …

Ground Lamb & Cabbage Casserole

July 18, 2009 - Written by Diana

Plenty of cabbage growing in the garden this year, so I’m trying it out in lots of different ways.  Ground Lamb from the Farmer’s Market, cabbage from the garden, wild rice from the freezer, and this dinner makes itself in very little time.  Top it off with a little sour cream for a little extra flavor, and the family loved it. 

Ground Lamb & Cabbage Casserole Ingredients:

Directions:

Sauté the onions and the ground lamb – drain the grease away.  There was a little grease in my ground lamb, but not a …

Taco Casserole

April 26, 2009 - Written by Diana

My dinner companions are usually my husband and my son, both who appreciate good regular food more than anything else. I can try to impress them with fancy things all I want, but it’s the ground beef casseroles that set their salivary glands into motion. I had a bag of crushed chips that weren’t good for salsa scooping, so I based my dinner on how to use those up. They didn’t come from the store that way, there was a mishap and they were smooshed good, but that doesn’t mean I throw them away. The flavor didn’t leach out – just the calories, right? You can halve this recipe, we needed leftovers for tonight so I made a good amount – probably 6 –8 servings.Here’s my recipe for Ground Beef Taco Casserole. Ground Beef Taco Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 bag blue corn chips (O Organics )
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 green pepper diced
  • 2 packs taco seasoning mix (or your …
