(Updated!) Loaded Baked Potato and Chicken Casserole

I am actually reposting this recipe from quite a while ago.  We made it again last week, and it was so good I couldn't help but post it again.  While I was at it, I decided to update the pictures and make some adjustments to the recipe.  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did, because I got hungry just thinking about it! Let me just start out by saying this is most definitely one of my most favorite dishes...ever!  Oh my goodness I loved it.  And so did Prince Charming and Rapunzel.  I would definitely make…

Thursday’s Recipe: Taco Bake

I know it's been a couple of weeks since I told you I'd post my bread bowl recipe.  My apologies.  I'm still waiting to make it for my sister; we've been delayed several times due to snow!  If nothing else, I'll post it next week. I did make this Taco Bake this week though.  I modified it slightly from the recipe I found over at The Country Cook.  (Don't confuse this with Taco Pie--it's completely different!)  It's pretty quick and easy to make, though I don't recommend sticking it in the oven before you have to pick up one of…

Thursday Recipe: Cheesy Potato Soup

I am so excited for next Thursday, because one of my favorite recipes is on the menu!  I posted this last year around this time, but I don't believe you can post this recipe too many times.  It is SO good!  And next week I am making it especially for my sister, who will be in town and hasn't tried it before.  Not only that, I'll also be making bread bowls to go with it, which only makes the yummy goodness even better!  Now I'm making myself hungry... This is a great recipe for a really cold day--especially if you…

Cheesy Potato Soup

I don't know how the weather has been for you, but it's been bitter here--cold, snowy, icy...you name the winter weather, we've got it.  I'm well over it by this point, but what can you do?  On Thursday, we beat the cold with some hot yummy goodness called Cheesy Potato Soup.  I pinned this recipe from Lil' Luna quite a while back, and Thursday was the second time I made this.  This is one of my family's very favorite, and I swear I could probably eat five bowls of this stuff if I weren't trying to lose weight.  They're even better in…

Bean and Cheese Quesadillas

Here's another recipe that we had recently.  I found this one at Parents magazine. Ingredients:  1 tablespoon olive oil  1 small onion, finely chopped (we used half of a large one, because that's what we had) 1/2 small green pepper, seeded and chopped (we only had a large one, so I just used half of that) 1 15 ounce can black beans, drained and lightly mashed 1/2 cup lower sodium salsa 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1 package (10-count) fajita-size flour or whole-wheat tortillas (I made two quesadillas with whole wheat tortillas and one with flour tortillas) 8 ounces reduced-fat pepper Jack cheese, shredded (we didn't have any, so I used 4 ounces of Mexican blend cheese…
