Comforting Chicken Casserole

Tis the season for comfort food. Heck! Every season is the season for comfort food. Sometimes, we just need a little comforting and only a good, hot, casserole will do.  Yes, that's right, I said casserole. And here's one you're really going to love - I promise!

The Nature of Technology

So happy that I finally have winter-hardy pansies. I always thought they were a myth. . . out of all the pansies I have bought and planted in the fall (versus the spring) with the promise that they'll last through the winter.

Friendly Smothered Steak

Spent a long winter weekend recently out in Northwest Kansas with a dear-dear friend.  While the fellas hunted (I'm a fair weather hunter. . . if there's risk of shivering, I stay indoors.) Lizzy and I took charge of meals. 

Here's a great cold day meal for a crowd (and if there's something this guest cook knows how to do - that's to cook for a crowd.  She has five awesome - now grown- children) that takes no time at all to prepare AND the heat of the oven helps keep you warm:-)
