Cassoulet
Cassoulet is a rich and hearty dish that originated in the south of France. There are many variations of it but the basics are pork, sausage, white beans and vegetables all baked together. In this recipe we used chicken thighs and turkey sausage but tried to stay true...
King Ranch Chicken Casserole
This is the best of the BEST! Chicken, tostada shells, peppers, tomatoes and ooey-gooey cheese. It should top the list of Best Comfort Foods. It will make your day better! If you are from Texas or anywhere in the South you are likely familiar with this dish...because...
Dirt Babies
Scroll down to the bottom for printable instructions! We are from the Pacific Northwest. I think my older kids consider themselves to be Oregonians more than they do Coloradans. My oldest 3 feel that their childhoods were spent in the PNW rambling through forests,...
Homestead Casserole
I found my Mom's Betty Crocker cookbook last week! As I turned the pages it took me back in time. We have definitely changed the way we cook! But there is still gold to be found there...but there may be some updates required. This casserole was originally called...
Buffalo Chicken Tostadas
Many years ago I was invited to a weekend away with girlfriends. Each of us was in charge of a different meal. My friend Annika made these AMAZING tostadas. I lost the recipe a long time ago so I've recreated it over time and this is now made often in my house. My...

Dill Pickle Pasta Salad
Dill pickles taste like summer to me. Tangy slices on grilled hamburgers, chopped up in my mom's potato salad, and then the canning in August. So how perfect to pair dill pickles with pasta salad, another taste of summer! Pasta Salads as a whole are a little bit blah...
Chicken Gloria
This GLORIOUS dish (see what I did there?) is based on a Betty Crocker from back in the day and let me just say...it is AMAZING! Seriously SO GOOD! This is a recipe you should keep forever and always serve to your favorite guests. Start by breading the chicken pieces...
Baked Pasta with Sausage and Ricotta
This pasta is a favorite of mine. Comfort food at it's BEST. A perfect mix of pasta, sausage, a richly seasoned tomato sauce and cheese, CHEESE, CHEESE! Every bite is a piece of heaven. I like to use a fun squiggly-shaped pasta but use anything you want! Start by...
Chicken Nacho Casserole
Dinner time or party food...this works for either. It can be served as a warm, hearty casserole or as a fabulous party dip. Either way it is SO GOOD! I like to use rotisserie chicken and just shred and cut it up. Or use any leftover cooked chicken. I chop it up fairly...
