Chicken Spaghetti Casserole (Taste of Home)
"Made this tonight for the family and it was all thumbs up around the table. Very good, quick and easy to make and flavorful. This is a "Taste of Home Recipe." I'm going to write it exactly as written in the magazine, although I did make some minor changes that I will add here: Instead of spaghetti, I used Angel Hair Pasta, which is what we prefer in a dish like this. I used a sweet red pepper that was not roasted although I did chop and saute it along with the chopped onion, mushrooms and garlic. Garlic was not a listed ingredient in the original recipe, but I add it to almost everything. The recipe did not call for sauteeing the vegetables, but I usually do because I prefer to be certain that they are tender, not crisp to the bite. I'm not fond of biting into raw/crisp onions and peppers. I also feel that flavors blend better when sauteed together. I used a cheddar/jack cheese blend rather than sharp cheddar and Swiss cheeses only because it's what I had on hand. I'm sure that the this recipe would be wonderful as written, but I guarantee it's great with my changes as well. Enjoy!"

I live in beautiful San Diego where there's never nothin to do. We almost never have days where you can't get outdoors. For fun I love to read, cook, take road trips with my grandson, whom I raise. Take long walks along the beach, bays and lakes. My live in grandson is 12 and the light of my life. I've been teaching him to fish, or should I say I'm exposing him to lake fishing, the people we meet along the way are teaching him while I read and watch. He's dying to go ocean fishing, that one makes me a bit more nervous, but we'll start that soon, probably from piers to start. Nick's only one of my grandchildren though, I have a total of 13, three live in Kansas, the land of Oz. The last time I visited them, it was Christmas time and when I stepped off the plane, the cold air took my breath away and standing there waiting for me in a short-sleeved T-shirt, was my son-in-law. Needless, to say, I spent many days there staying indoors praying for the day I could get back to sunny California -- I never had to endure snow the whole time, thank God! Twenty degrees daily was way out of my comfort zone by a very large margin. There truly is no place like home. I have 8 other grandchildren that are fortunate enought to live in San Diego too. We spend weekends doing things together such as taking in the zoo, wild animal park, Sea World, Knotts Soak City water park (summer), museums, fishing, picknicking and just hanging out. They all love to help grandma cook in the kitchen. I have many cookbooks and can read them like I'd read a novel. My passions are my family, my two boston terriers, Tuffy and Oreo, and gardening, cooking and reading -- oh yeah, I'm totally addicted to Zaar. I don't really have many pet peeves, but a biggie is mean, obnoxious people and those who think they know it all, and liars, I can pick out a deceitful person it an instant. If you can't trust someone, then nothings worth salvaging in the relationship. I hate those who disrespect the environment (no I'm not a tree hugger) but I do hate to see people litter and fail to do simple things such as picking up after themselves in the outdoors such as parks and beaches, and how easy is it to recycle? It's really not too difficult to make an impact on the environment if everybody takes responsibility for their "trash."
