You Don’t Need To Be Amish To Try This Casserole

This is the absolutely the best chicken casserole I have ever made. Probably because is so easy to put together and tasted great every single time I have made it. The great thing is that if you are super busy you can even pick up a rotisserie chicken.

Why is it called Amish Casserole? I have absolutely no idea except that this is super frugal and most likely uses ingredients that you probably already have in your freezer and pantry.

It is really tough when you have to stop at the store for just one or two items. If you are anything like me you end up getting several things you don’t even need. Your family will love it.

The reason some people don’t make casseroles? It is too much for just a few people to eat. No problem. Go ahead and divide this into three loaf pans and freeze two of them for later! Before you bake them go ahead and put them in the freezer. Take out the night before and bake as usual. So what are you waiting for!

This is what Merissa of Little House Living has to say about this recipe.

I came up with this casserole, based off of a traditional Amish chicken casserole recipe  using REAL ingredients, that has all the above reasons covered. It is delicious, easy to put together, and best of all, a huge hit with the family.

Move Over Betty Crocker, There Is a New Cookie In Town

I have been an avid cookie baker from the time I was first married. I loved being able to fill up the cookie jar and be able to send freshly baked goods in everyone’s lunches.

I guess I grew up with that. My mom always had treats baked and my grandma always had a cookie jar PLUS a secret stash of cookies in case the jar was empty.

One summer, when my sister and I were staying with her, we found the stash. She worked during the day, leaving us to spend the afternoons swimming and playing at the lake they lived on. What a life! Anyway, around 2 in the afternoon we would get a bit hungry for something in the snack category. Over the course of two weeks, we ate all the stashed cookies. YIKES! We knew that my grandma was going to find out sooner rather than later so one afternoon after she left for work, we walked a mile into town and thankfully found the exact kind of cookies we had already eaten. By the time my grandma got home that evening we had covered out cookie thieving tracks.

I think these cookies would have been much better than the store bought ones we ended up purchasing. They would have blown our cover, but what can I say, sometimes that’s just how the cookie crumbles.

This is what Dragana has to say about her recipe.

Lemon spread that is so good you might want to just eat it off your spoon.

The first time I heard about Lemon Curd I thought the person was kidding. I mean really? Who would name anything you put on toast something so yucky.

After I tasted it I didn’t care what they called it, I just needed more. Taking it a step further I decided to make my own so here is my recipe.

I couldn’t help but notice lemons in the road near where we lived. I thought a truck might have spilled some of it’s load. The next week I noticed a few more.

When I looked up, I realized there was a house at the top of a long driveway across the street and also at the top, was a lemon tree.

A few weeks later I saw a man , parked at the end of the driveway, getting his mail. I quickly ran over and introduced myself.

“Hi,” I began. “We are new to the neighborhood. I noticed you have a lot of “road-kill” lemons and I happen to cook.” Which was pretty obvious since I was wearing an apron. “I was wondering if I could pick a few lemons before they roll into the street.”

The man smiled.. “You can pick anytime.”

We quickly realized we were going to need to make one..or two more batches really soon. Thankfully the neighbors tree was full of the bright yellow citrus.

When we added a little cream cheese and spread it on a piece of fresh bread it was amazing.

One of the best things to do is find someone with a lemon tree. Introduce yourself, and remember to share.

This Recipe Is Sooooooo Popular That It’s Been Pinned On Pinterest 640,000 Times!

Most of your modern day Japanese dishes come from the Edo era between the years of 1603 and 1867. At least the most well known ones.

During the Edo Era there were a lot of changes taking place in Japan. With urbanization beginning to take place it introduced changes in farming methods and, new ingredients began being imported into Japan.

One of the most famous of all modern day Japanese dishes are the Teriyaki dishes. You can purchase Teriyaki bowls in almost every food court in every mall across the country.

Most historians would probably agree that Teriyaki was introduced into Japanese cuisine around the seventeenth century. Most likely because many of the traditional methods of roasting and grilling meat were introduced at right about that same time.

During the 1960’s in the United States is when Teriyaki first became popular in North America. This is when Japanese restaurants began popping up all over the country.

There are literally hundreds of variations of Teriyaki Sauce today. Chefs have tried virtually every different combination of ingredients possible in order to come up with the best Teriyaki sauce.

I personally have tried a gazillion of them but this is probably the best one I have ever found.
