Chicken & Mushroom Casserole with Crunchy Stuffing Topping

Chicken & Mushroom Casserole with Crunchy Stuffing Topping is a recipe I concocted. To me, texture is key. I love things that are crunchy! I happened to have a half a box of leftover stuffing mix and decided to use it up. You could make this ahead and bake it later. Love that!

Tamale Pie

This Tamale Pie takes less then 5 minutes to throw it in a casserole dish! The Trader Joe's "tasting station" is a place for some culinary inspiration. It's where they hand out samples for you to try. I almost always buy whatever they are demoing. It was this tamale pie. I am not a big fan of polenta (unless it's crispy), but I have to say I really liked this dish. It's something you could have in your pantry. You could even make it vegetarian by using vegetarian chili instead of chicken or turkey. The original recipe calls for a jar of their Cowboy Caviar, but I actually used the corn salsa instead.

Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

Got this recipe from the Pioneer Woman. I've been needing a little comfort food. This fits the bill - creamy and delicious. I bought chicken that was already cut up. You could even use a rotisserie chicken.

Provençal Vegetable Gratin

Here is one way to use up some of your summer vegetable harvest. I actually did not place the sliced vegetables in compact upright rows due to the fact the tomatoes, zucchini and squash were all different sizes. I just cut them up and stirred it all together. You can do it either way, it all tasted the same!

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

My friend, Chris, dropped this casserole off for me with some of her home grown tomatoes and peppers. It couldn't have come at a better time. We are putting in a new kitchen and everything was torn out. Also, I was having my last chemo treatment! Yay!

Johnny Marzetti Casserole

I love recipes with a story. I have to say I have never heard of this casserole recipe. The dish originated in Columbus, Ohio, at Marzetti's, an Italian restaurant established in 1896 on Broad St. by an Italian immigrant named Teresa Marzetti. One of the dishes Marzetti offered her customers was a baked casserole of ground beef, cheddar cheese, tomato sauce, and noodles that she named for her brother-in-law Johnny. It was very popular during WWII. The original restaurant closed in 1942, but a second location, opened in 1919 remained in operation until Teresa Marzetti died in 1972. She was also popular for her salad dressings, which you can still buy today. This recipe is very similar to Sour Cream Noodle Bake that I posted recently, minus the sour cream.

Baked Pasta with Sweet Italian Sausage & Kale

Kale is a nutritional superfood. It should have it's own cape! It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer nutrients to name a few. On the downside, it has a large concentration of Vitamin K, which can be a problem for people taking blood thinners because it promotes clotting; the green also contains oxalates, which in lab tests have been associated with kidney stones and some gallstones. Eat raw kale is not a good idea, it will result in digestive issues. This is a great way to introduce some kale into your family's diet. Everyone loved it.
