I’m sure when this recipe started out it had a proper name, but I have no idea what it is. I call it Marilou’s Casserole after my beloved late Aunt Marilou who was my second, and sometimes first mom growing up.  She made it for us countless times during my childhood.   This is grub…good [...]

This is another one of my “recipes”.  I worked off a basic Mac N’ Cheese recipe and added a few of my own twists.  So, once again, bear with me when it comes to measurements.  A lot of this is me guessing about how much I used of each ingredient.  Use more or less of [...]

Mix soups and sour cream together in a [...]

This is, quite possibly, my FAVORITE thing to eat. EVER. I limit myself to eating it once a year (I don’t want to know how much fat or how many calories a serving contains), so it’s kind of taken on this rock star status for me. I. LOVE. IT. It’s the ultimate comfort food for [...]

- 1 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup (you can use any “Cream of” soup)
- 1 can of Del Monte [...]

This easy to make version of a calzone is a huge favorite in my house. It’s my quick version for those who don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. (I don’t usually measure anything so I made this for my family last night -see picture above- and carefully measured all [...]

It’s grillin’ season. Or so I’ve heard on TV. Around here we grill all year long (unless our grill is covered in a foot of snow as it was for most of December). But there are certain dishes that just belong to summer, aren’t there? In my mind, the classic BBQ side dishes, whether served [...]
