What's for Supper Tonight

Luke and I never seem to eat a whole pound of cheese dip and in the past I've used the leftovers for Chicken Spaghetti...which is wonderful. Tonight I added a different twist-King Ranch Casserole. Basically I took the cheese dip we had left, added my chicken, and a can of cream of chicken soup. Layered it with tortilla chips and topped it with cheese. It sure does smell good in the oven!

Also I wanted to try something different for a veggie tonight. I get so tired of having green beans with almost every meal. Mom gave me her version of this and I added my own twist. Cut broccoli into florets. Basically just take that big stem off and pull apart into smaller pieces. I added about 3 T. of oil and 1 t. of minced garlic & salt and pepper. Tossed it all together and put it on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes....man is it good! Mom topped hers with Parmesan cheese and walnuts....and I'm leaving mine naked. Luke can add cheese if he wants! It's a healthy veggie for sure!!! Enjoy!

When I was visiting with our puppies outside I noticed how gorgeous our Dogwood is this time of year. Maybe tonight I'll take some closer pics of it! God is good isn't He???

YOUR MOMMA SAID:
I am surprized and delighted that Luke liked the broccoli! WE sure did!!! The key is to add plenty of salt.....and I used a few cashews - wanted to use walnuts but didn't have any! Next time, that gross parmesan cheese will be left off....it's the shredded kind and not that "baby barf smelling" stuff in the can...GROSS GROSS Anyway, it doesn't melt and we picked it off and didn't eat it!

I too get tired of green beans and this broccoli roasted like this was sure a good change of pace. It's from Ina Garten aka The Barefoot Contessa. I really like her....she's soft spoken and I just love that. Paula is getting on my nerves and I feel I need sunglasses to watch her now with those new TEEF of hers! LOL LOL

Love you kid!!!! VERY proud of you!!! YO momma

Who said that I liked it? Don't listen to what Melissa will say because I really did try it, but about 4 pieces was all I could keep down.
