green bean, red potato, bacon casserole thingy

In the fall this is one of my favorite dishes. I just made it today. The quantities are a bit up to the cook depending on how much you want to make.
Red potatoes–washed and cubed
Green beans–cut up (I get the frozen ones when I’m feeling lazy)
Bacon–cut up into small pieces
Cream of mushroom soup [...]

Inspiration: Halloween edition

I have quite a few links to share this week, but I think I might hold most of them until early next week (I’m planning to participate in NaBloPoMo on The Grand, and I’m thinking about doing so here as well–if I do, I’ll need to stretch it out). In the meantime, it’s not too [...]

Inspiration

Now, where was I? Muddly brain. Here are some links:
Spiced Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Say no more, I’m there.
Jane Maynard of This Week for Dinner claims this is the perfect cookie. That’s plausible, and if I get around to making it, I’ll report back. Via.
I have lately been a little obsessed with Ace [...]

Inspiration

I haven’t done too much cooking this week, but here are some of the things I’ve been thinking about:
The Pioneer Woman has a great tutorial on how to make pumpkin puree and then an idea of how to use it. I got some organic canned pumpkin from Target for Simon. It seems to me to [...]

Inspiration

This week Bethany wrote a really great post about the food blogs she reads (and, yay, she mentioned us!). I went ahead and added all her picks to the blogroll (I trust you, B). And it also gave me an idea: I added a category called “Inspiration,” and every week or so (starting with this [...]

Melissa’s Enchiladas That Brook Taught Me How to Make

I told Brook a long time ago that I would post this recipe. It’s a little iffy on the measurements, but that’s because it’s one of those recipes that gets better with a little experimentation.
Chicken marinated or seasoned however you like (ranch dressing, cumin, salt, garlic powder, taco seasoning, etc.), cut into 1-inch chunks (Last [...]

Breakfast Casserole

I love breakfast casseroles. Jason says it’s hard to go wrong with chicken; I say it’s hard to go wrong with brunch. Anyway, this is one of my favorite breakfast casserole recipes (both for its ease and for the final yumminess). I haven’t figured out how to make it ahead of time because of the [...]
