Things That Make You Go…Yum!

Okay, we’re having company tomorrow evening and I have planned the following things, recipes included:

Baked Chicken (crockpot)

• One whole chicken
• Water
• Salt
• Seasonings of your choice (I usually use Rosemary Garlic Seasoning from Sam’s over a year ago)

Place chicken in the crockpot along with about two cups or more of water. Sprinkle seasonings on top. Cook on low for approximately 6 hours. Voila!

Cheesy Potato Casserole

• 1 (2-lb) package frozen hashed brown potatoes, thawed.
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 1 (10-oz) can cream of chicken soup
• 2 c sour cream
• 8 oz sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 c crushed corn flakes
• ¼ c butter

Combine potatoes, salt, pepper, soup, sour cream, cheese, and onion in bowl; mix well. Spoon into greased 9″×13″ baking dish. Bake at 350℉ for 30 minutes; remove from oven. Cover with corn flakes; drizzle with butter. Bake for 30 minutes longer. Yummy stuff!

Quick Cheese Biscuits

• 1 c all-purpose flour
• 1¼ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 T butter or margarine
• ⅔ c milk

Preheat oven to 450℉. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in cheddar. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or two knives until coarse crumbs form. Using a fork, stir milk into flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Do not over-mix or overwork dough. Drop dough in heaping tablespoons one inch apart onto an un-greased baking sheet. Bake until biscuits are firm to the touch, about 15 minutes.

Fresh veggies, chopped (from the garden!)

Fresh fruit, chopped

Root beer floats for dessert

Hmmm…that’s quite a bit of cheese. I might have to rethink that a little. But everything goes better with cheese so maybe I should just leave it alone!
