I know. There are TONS of different casserole recipes that include these main ingredients, each varying a little bit from the last. But let me tell you. This is the best one. Hands down. Even Ben requests this at least once a week. This is my go to recipe that I take when I’m bringing dinner to another family and when someone asks me for a quick meal idea. It’s easy, relatively quick, and it is great leftover. What You Need: -1 can cream of mushroom -8 oz. Velveeta cheese -1 cup cooked rice -1 cup chopped broccoli florets- I use the microwave steamer bags -1 cup shredded chicken-I use rotessaire chicken…

Something to Remember
Hopefully you were able to catch up on our Branson trip this past weekend here. In that post I let y’all know how awesome Ben did on the car ride down. No crying, yelling, fusing, a sweet little angel. He was actually really good all weekend. That is until it was time to make the almost 4 hour trip back home. That experience was the complete opposite of our ride down to Branson. I think God likes to remind us that just when we think we’ve got everything under control, we need a little test to humble us. When we got home from the trip, we were exhausted and I…

Summertime in Branson
I just love Branson. I’ve gone several times with family and friends and always have a blast. In fact, Mrs. Bojangles and I took a few trips to Branson way back in our childfree days. A few months ago my work had a silent auction fundraiser and I bid on and won a Branson package. Ben was so excited to go on a mini vacation and what better time since Summer is coming to an end. J had to work so my parents tagged along and off we went. We left Friday afternoon and made the nearly 4 hour car ride down to Branson. Ben was so good in the car watching…

Double Berry Crisp
A few weekends ago we had some strawberry and blueberries that needed to be eaten so what better way to use them than in a crisp. I turned to the forgotten allrecipes.com and found this recipe. Instead of 3 different kinds of berries I just used two (blueberries and strawberries) and I halved the recipe since it served 18 people and we don’t need that much crisp. What You Need: -1 cup blueberries -1 cup strawberries -2 tbs. white sugar -1 cup all purpose flour -1 cup rolled oats -3/4 cup packed brown sugar -1/2 tsp cinnamon -3/4 cup butter -8X8 pan coated in non-stick spray What To Do: 1. Begin by pre-heating…

Life Update
We have been loving the temperatures lately! 80 degrees is such a nice change from 105. Ben has been so excited to get out of the house and ride his bike until he can’t ride anymore. We’ve gotten to know our new neighborhood quite well and all the streets around us are cul-de-sacs which are perfect for riding bikes. I’m on week 2 of the fashion challenge. This week I had my most favorite outfit and also an outfit I will definitely not wear again. First up, the one I loved. And the outfit I hated. Just no to the whole thing. Taking the first outfit from day to night. We…
