Sour chicken casserole – Redneck Cooking
My Idea of something different for dinner is adding some onion or bacon to my burger instead of having them plain. My wife, on the other hand, thinks cheeseburgers once a week is too often. She likes to try different things and likes a variety in the weekly menu. This chicken casserole is a good change of pace.
Garlic soup, mushroom quiche, apple tart – It’s a Recipe Roundup luncheon menu!
Entertaining midday is a luxury many working folk don’t get on a regular basis, unless you throw a weekend luncheon. But I’m telling you, this is one of my favorite ways to enjoy good food and a small group of cherished friends or family. From the show-off-the-new-house-to-the-aunties luncheon, to the I-don’t see-my-girlfriends-enough-anymore luncheon, there is always an occasion to have someone — anyone! — over to enjoy some savory lunch fare. I admit, I got out of the habit when Owen came along, complete with midday naps that squashed the happy luncheon party.
My love for the luncheon has ironically come back in recent months, and I have to give all of the credit to Owen. Our local moms’ group has gotten into the habit of throwing a monthly pot luck lunch, and damn, we are having fun! The kids are old enough that they play well together and we can chat and visit and enjoy the recipes that turn up every month. And dare I say you might, on occasion, find some wine at our buffet?
If you love lunch as much as I do, I hope you’ll enjoy this luncheon menu I put together from some favorite recipes that crossed my path recently.
The most comforting thing I ate today
For me, it had to have been the fried egg that accompanied my banana chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast this morning. There’s just something about an over-easy egg that comforts me. Is the fact that I am eating a healthy protein? Is it the bright contrast of the whites and the school-bus-yellow yolks? I think it is probably the way the yolks ooze out all over the plate, soaking into the pancakes, just asking to be sopped up and devoured. — Debbie
Oatmeal strawberry muffins, made from scratch this morning. You’re getting starch and fruity goodness all in one little package. Alright, well, for me that’d be three tiny packages, but who’s counting? — Keith
