I love a casserole, being a good Southern woman and all. :-) What I don’t love is anything with cream of fill in the blank soup. Yuck! Especially cream of chicken. I’ve had a weird aversion to it ever since I started cooking. It might have started much younger, watching mother pull each individual piece… Read More
I made the Hamburger Helper from Half Baked Harvest on a weird craving whim about 6 weeks ago and – no joke – we’ve had it 3 more times since then. It cooks in one pot, it’s easy, it’s hearty and it is the ultimate comfort food. For all the boxes this meal checks, the… Read More

And I made individual skillet brownies (Ghiradelli box) with salted caramel gelato. I use these – everything is cuter and seems more special when… Read More
