King Ranch Chicken, tortillas, chicken, peppers, creamy sauce layered together in this Classic Southern casserole. You might say King Ranch Chicken is the perfect casserole! King Ranch Chicken is a family favorite. It's probably the best combination of Mexican flavors in a casserole of all time. My family adores this casserole.

Why not make two?

Weeknight Family Supper Meal: #6 Hobo Dinners
Weeknight Family Supper Meal , an inspiration for a meal any night of the week that may include ideas how to make part of the meal ahead, how to freeze any leftovers or how to make leftovers into a makeover for another meal. Hobo Dinners are the perfect meal to make on a busy weeknight. The hamburger, potatoes, carrots and celery and onions are all cooked in a foil packet making clean up virtually nonexistent. To change things up sometimes I add a wedge of cabbage. Season each layer of vegetables to keep the whole meal flavorful.

Old Fashioned New Potatoes and Peas in a White Sauce {Granny's Recipe}
Old Fashioned New Potatoes and Peas , sometimes called Southern New Potatoes in a White Sauce. There is one thing for sure about this recipe for New Potatoes, and English Peas smothered in a creamy white sauce, it has been around for ages. My Mother passed it down to me, and her Mother passed it down to her, tried and true recipe. The first vegetable I want to eat in the spring from our garden growing up is new potatoes and fresh English peas. Mother would wash and scrap the new potatoes, slice them, or you can also quarter them if you like a chunkier potato. While the potatoes are cooking, she makes the white sauce. I want to let you know I use leftover new potatoes at times to make a leftover makeover dish. Especially in the summer when new potatoes are plentiful from the garden. Boil the potatoes and eat them with butter and fresh herbs refrigerate the leftovers and then the next day use them to make New Potatoes in a White Sauce. Growing up mostly, I enjoy

Weeknight Family Supper Meal: #5 Spaghetti Pie
Weeknight Family Supper Meal, an inspiration for a meal any night of the week that may include ideas how to make part of the meal ahead, how to freeze any leftovers or how to make leftovers into a makeover for another meal. With Valentine's Day next Wednesday, I thought you might like a meal for the special occasion. When my children were small, we chose to celebrate the moment with our children at the family table instead of a quiet romantic meal just husband and me. I would set the table with the fine china, crystal tea glasses, real cloth napkins and well the silverware was our everyday. I would serve a one pot dish, like Shrimp Creole over buttered rice, green salad, and for dessert, we would have chocolate cake. Oh, the memories are flooding in. sniff sniff!

Weeknight Family Supper Meal: #3 Chicken Terrific
Weeknight Family Supper Meal , an inspiration for a meal one night of the week that may include ideas how to make part of the meal ahead, how to freeze any leftovers or how to make leftovers into a makeover for another meal. Casseroles are loved at our house and especially the ones that can be made ahead, place in the fridge and pop it in the oven when time to cook supper. If there is a buttery topping that is sprinkled on top like this casserole has, leave it to sprinkle just before baking. Look out for the leftovers. We love this casserole almost better the next day. It is scrumptious. Did I say it is not like your typical casseroles? The ingredients may surprise you.

Weeknight Family Supper Meal , an inspiration for a meal one night of the week that may include ideas how to make part of the meal ahead, how to freeze any leftovers or how to make leftovers into a makeover for another meal. After Christmas, we always have plenty of ham leftover. This Christmas was no different. I usually buy a whole ham for Thanksgiving and a spiral ham for Christmas. I love to dice leftover spiral ham. The cuts are all uniform and the perfect thickness. They look pretty in ham salad or a pasta dish like Leftover Ham and Bowtie Pasta.

Grilled Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops
Grilled Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops, using up some leftover apple cider to marinate and coat with a maple syrup thick boneless pork chops, will dramatically amp up the flavor, savory, and a bit of sweetness. Pork chops are a favorite around our house. Cook them anyway. The boneless pork chops grilled tend to be tough and dry at times, so we like to brine them before cooking them or coat them in a super delicious glaze while cooking them.

Roasted Sweet Potato Cobb Salad with Walden Farm's Honey Dijon Salad Dressing
Roasted Sweet Potato Cobb Salad, golden roasted sweet potatoes, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, purple onions and avocados on a layer of fresh collard green ribbons and arugula salad greens and drizzled with honey dijon salad dressing. I'm keeping it Southern! Do you ever have a few sweet potatoes needing to cook before they go bad? Well, that is where I am, and two sweet potatoes are not enough to make a pie. Now I could put them in a casserole or bake them, but that means lots of butter and cinnamon and sugar. That's how I like my baked sweet potatoes, so I opted for a healthy version, roasted sweet potatoes.

Roasted Bacon and Sage Wrapped Peaches ~ Celebrating the End of Peach Season
Roasted Bacon and Sage Wrapped Peaches, a delightful appetizer or snack that will wow your Southern guest. There are only four ingredients, bacon, sage, and luscious peaches drizzled with a balsamic honey vinegar. The perfect dish to celebrate the end of the peach season. I have been wanting to make these roasted peaches for some time and never wanted to heat the oven long enough for them to cook. The days here in Texas are beginning to cool down, and the peaches are getting fewer in number at the grocery stores, but the stores have started stocking fresh sage. Now that is the end of one season and the beginning of another, summer and fall.

Roasted Ratatouille Vegetables Recipe
Roasted Ratatouille Vegetables, roasted summer vegetables, eggplant, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion with a whole garlic into a delightful side dish. The recipe is healthy and comforting at the same time--pure deliciousness! I grew up with traditional cooking methods, and they are hard to change, but the older I get, the more I make changes to easier methods. As is with this Ratatouille recipe. While traditional Ratatouille is made by sauteeing vegetables separately before combining them, I decided to roast the vegetables.

Grandmother's Old Fashioned Meatloaf {Cooked In A Cast Iron Skillet}
Old Fashioned Meatloaf Recipe My Mother-in-law's recipe. She taught me early on to cook my meatloaf in a cast iron skillet, which has never changed, and she also taught me not to forget to save the tripping for delicious tomato gravy. She would form her meatloaf in a bun and cook it with enough water about a third way up in the skillet. All those delicious juices make a wonderful gravy. She believed that a good meatloaf recipe is one that has a good ratio of fat in the hamburger.

Curry Rice Salad
Curry Rice Salad , fluffy white rice, yellow curry powder, and bright English peas are the perfect dish to use up leftover rice. Curry Rice Salad Using Leftover Rice The joy of this recipe is how simple it is to make. Using leftover rice is always a plus when needing to get a meal on the table in minutes. If you have no rice cooked, cook it the night before and heat it to make the salad. When I have leftover rice, one of the first things I think about is making this cold rice salad.
