  1. I made this recipe yesterday for my family and they all came back for seconds. It was delicious! I used frozen chopped broccoli in place of peas because that is what I had on hand, and it worked out well. Great!
     
  2. I found this recipe as well, in a Hilshire Farms insert inside my Food Network magazine. I knew I had to try it right away. However, after making it I've come to the conclusion that this was not a kitchen tested recipe before being published. After baking my casserole for 45 minutes tightly covered in foil, the liquid had evaporated and my pasta was only half cooked. I added 1 1/2 cups of water and put it back in the oven for another 30 minutes. This time the pasta was perfectly done, but I felt the added liquids watered down the soup flavoring making it bland. Some added seasoning and this recipe would shine.

I am a busy mom both with stuff at home and my work. My kids and husband love to try new creations so they are right at home with my love of recipes. It is fun to make something and try several different ways at it. I love to try different enchilada recipes, recipes for various ice teas, and anything that gets food on the table on the weeknights. Restaurant recipes for the weekends are another favorite.
