Creamy Jalapeno Corn Casserole

Creamy Jalapeno Corn Casserole , cream cheese, and whole kernel corn with a little kick from jalapenos make this an inviting casserole for any Thanksgiving meal. We pretty much have our menu down for Thanksgiving, and this Creamy Jalapeno Corn Casserole is one of the side dishes my daughter-in-law makes each year.  It is easy and quick, with a great combination of flavor and crunch from the jalapenos and corn.    

Potato Sausage Egg Breakfast Casserole {Spiced up with cumin and cilantro!}

Honey Pumpkin Cornbread

   When October comes around, I start thinking of all the recipes I can make with pumpkin.  Last year I wanted to make  Honey Pumpkin Cornbread  and never got around to making it.  For me, making any kind of cornbread other than the traditional is stepping out of the box, but I must say, it is absolutely delicious.

Homemade Chicken & Rice Soup

Homemade Chicken & Rice Soup  reminds me of the days when I would open up a can of Campbell's Chicken and Rice Soup for a quick meal.  Yes, I like Campbell's soups and still eat them on occasion, but I love homemade soup.  The aroma it gives off while it is cooking is comforting in itself. I like to simmer up a big pot and freeze it in quart containers to have for lunch or a late supper. You can thaw it out in the microwave or set in the refrigerator the night before, and you can have it ready in as much time as it takes to open a can and cook it.

Baked Chicken and Dumplings

Baked Chicken and Dumplings has all the flavors of Homemade Chicken and Dumplings without rolling out the dumplings.  This casserole is truly magic dumplings! My husband loves my  Homemade Chicken and Dumpling recipe, and he was a little hesitant when I told him I was going to make Baked Chicken and Dumplings .  He could not imagine how they would turn out, and I must say I was a little intrigued too.  

Hobo Dinners

Hobo Dinners are a favorite around our house during the cooler months. I have meant to post this recipe, but it just seems other recipes get in front of it.  Around this time last year we were visiting our niece and she served these delicious bundles for dinner.  She is a wonderful cook and hostess.  I just loved sitting at her table and enjoying her taste in food.

Pumpkin Toffee Muffins

When fall comes around, I love to make muffins.  These deliciously moist Pumpkin Toffee Muffins are perfect for breakfast or a take along snack.  We even love them for dessert.

Chili Smothered Burritos {Using El Monterey frozen burritos}

Chili Smothered Burritos , frozen burritos coverd with sliced cheese and chili gravy then topped with shreaded cheese.  To make them a little spicy add jalapeno slices.   When my children were school age, Chili Smothered Burritos  were on our monthly menu rotation a couple of times.  

Strawberry Pie Filling Fruit Salad

Strawberry Pie Filling Fruit Salad is the easiest fruit salad you will ever make.  My husband adores this stuff.  Actually, he loves fruit period.  He eats this fruit salad for dessert more times than a salad.
