Mexi-Beans and Chicken Be sure to spray your glass casserole dish with Pam or another non stick substitute before adding ingredients. Use a spatula to serve. This tastes even better the second day. Make ahead because there is a little extra effort that goes into shredding the chicken meat. If you are pressed for time switch it out and use ground beef.

Recipe Name: Sicillian Noodle Casserole The tenderness of the meat in this Scilian noodle casserole really makes or breaks the recipe. I try to choose a piece of round steak that looks tender--but who can tell really?--So I pound the steak out a little bit on a cutting board before cutting it and before I saute it with the onions. I used to make this with green pimento stuffed olives, but now that olives are so "in vogue" I experiment with other varieties, like those stuffed with cheese, etc. … [Read more...]

Recipe Name: Egg Casserole If I have one recipe for a variation of this egg brunch casserole, I have a dozen. I will space them out and share them one at a time because each variation is great.

I have made this for the family, for overnight guests (because you can make it ahead, better if it is made 24 hours in advance), for day after … [Read more...]
