Just a shout out

This isn't anything crafty, but I'd like to send a shout out to my cousin, Jodi who told me about this product from Trader Joes (you think I would have known about it since my hubby works there, oh well) This stuff is awesome and a better alternative to plain rice as a side dish. And it is still way easy to prepare. My 3 year old asked for seconds the first time I made it.Click--> to read some reviews about this product Harvest Grains Blend has couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo beans and red quinoa

I made it as a side dish to grilled chicken one night- delish! So if you live by a Trader Joe's go and pick up a bag. I know it's less than $3.00 a bag.

Summer Squash Casserole

This recipe is out of our Grandma's collection. I make it every summer. It is a yummy, light casserole. (you do have to turn on the oven... which is no fun to do in the summer time)

Summer Squash Casserole

Cook until tender, then drain:
3 or 4 cups squash (any kind, but different colored ones look better)
2 medium carrots sliced
1 medium onion

Mix together, then add to squash mixture:
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1 cup sour cream

Place 1/2 of package (7 oz. pkg) Seasoned Croutons in bottom of pan. (I used a 9x9 pan) Then add the mixture. Top with other half of croutons. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.

*** I usually add salt and garlic powder to my casserole. Also, fair warning... husband's do not like this dish. It must have something to do with the abundance of vegetables. But if you serve it along side marinated chicken... they'll humor you. :) Enjoy!
