Manicotti

Today’s addition to Kids in the Kitchen is Toby’s Manicotti.  It is Italian goodness at its best!  Toby learned the base that makes lasagna and other Italian favorites so popular- ricotta, mozzarella, parsley, eggs and Parmesan. Mmmmm!  He’ll make a great husband some day! Manicotti is as easy as it is delicious and Toby shows…

Spring Veggie Pot Pie Crumble

Spring Veggie Pot Pie Crumble

Welcome spring with fresh veggies baked in a shortcut crust crumble. Bake individual servings in crocks or make it all at once in a casserole dish. It’s the fresh goodness of spring combined with comfort-food crust.  Perfect combo! I love cooking with vegetables that are in season.  It’s nature’s way of bringing us balance.  Spring…

Nacho Casserole

Nacho Casserole

Nacho Casserole…as in, “Nacho ordinary casserole…!” Hahaha! This was born on a night that I was craving mexican, cheesy deliciousness.  I brainstormed all my favorite nacho toppings and layered them in a casserole dish, chips and cheese finishing each layer.  A finale of lettuce, avocados, olives, green onions and tomatoes completely puts it over the…

Cheesy broccoli and brown rice bake

April 4, 2014 by eghassett

I found a homemade cream of chicken soup recipe that makes these types of casseroles much healthier. It’s quick and easy and tastes so much better than condensed soups. (and I was a big fan of those before I started reading labels!) Broccoli, cheese and creamy rice….mmmmm!!! Click on the picture to take you to…
