• Salsa Verde Chicken & Rice

    I am a BIG, BIG casserole fan.  It is not only me though, my whole family loves a good casserole.  One of our favorites was always chicken & rice but this updated version might be our new favorite.        Spicing it up a bit To add a little something extra to this this chicken & rice casserole I added in salsa verde, sour cream and chili powder.  Yes… salsa verde, sour cream and chili powder.  It adds a little heat and some extra creaminess making this casserole a little something extra.  Don’t worry though it is not super spicy… just a little bit of heat. Super Easy To make this…

  • MeeMaw’s Chicken n Dumplings

    These last few weeks have been pretty trying.  When I am under stress I tend to eat comfort food and one of my favorites is my MeeMaw’s Chicken n Dumplings.   Thankfully things seem to be calming down a bit and getting back to “normal” but I am still craving my favorite dish.

  • chicken parm on the skinny

    Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean only salads and steamed veggies….casseroles can be a part of the menu as well, and this chicken parm casserole is a skinny but delicious dinner that everyone is sure to love.   I have made several chicken parmesans over the years, it is The Hubby’s favorite but most have been loaded with tons of calories & fat making them not very figure friendly.  So as we continue this healthier lifestyle one of the first dishes I wanted to recreate was chicken parm, but in a new way that The Hubby would love but without the guilt. Casserole’s have always been a favorite for The Hubby…
