Hello, everybody! I hope everyone’s day is going good so far. Mine is going great! Partially because I came across this awesomely simple broccoli and cauliflower bake. You guys and gals are gonna love this one! This particular version of this classic recipe is light on the carbs, which I like. I don’t always want all of those empty calories invading my system. You do sprinkle breadcrumbs on the top of this bake, but not enough to make your carb count go off the Richter scale. However, if you’re worried about it, just leave the breadcrumbs out. No harm done 🙂

I think this brocolli and cauliflower bake makes the perfect side dish to almost any meal. I served mine when we had a ham roast. It was really tasty and the entire family seemed to enjoy it. I even had some leftover to share with my wonderful neighbor, Sally.

I am always looking for new and exciting recipes to make and share with you guys and gals. This chicken broccolini with creamy mustard sauce really caught my eye. It tastes amazing!

I saw The Pioneer Woman’s post about it and thought to myself, “I HAVE got to make this chicken!” Ree Drummond partnered with Land O Lakes when writing this recipe in order to participate in their darling program, “Pin A Post.” This program helps bring meals to needy families across the nation. Awesome! (Kinda like this recipe!)

At first, I thought this chicken would be a pain in the booty to make, and although it was a bit more labor intensive than some other chicken recipes, it wasn’t t0o bad. I had everything under control in less than two hours. Plus, the food came out of the oven looking and smelling deliciously. It tasted even better!

Quick Tip: Do you know why this recipe turns out so good? It’s cooked in BUTTER!

When I was growing up, I can remember my family always ordering subs from the local pizzeria. My favorite sandwich to get was the Italian meatball. It was so yummy! I can picture that sub right now all piled high with meatballs, sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Oh, the memories! It was always so hot and filling and the bread was so soft. Man, I wish that pizzeria was still operating. Getting food from that place was always something my sisters and I looked forward too.

As an adult, I kind of wanted to mimic the experience for my children, however, I have toddlers and a preschooler running around and eating meatball sub sandwiches isn’t the ideal meal. I think I’d have meatballs rolling around the floor haha! So, I got creative and thought I’d give Italian meatball sandwich casserole a try. I was apprehensive at first because I thought of a huge pan of soggy bread with meatballs on it. Nope. This casserole turned out amazing!

Quick Tip: Make sure you really pile on the mozzarella cheese to the top of the casserole!

I know some of you who are die hard mashed potato aficionados will be saying, “A Casserole?” But as the original poster states, after one bite of these, you will be won over. This casserole is not only extremely tasty – it has a great texture, as well. And here is the kicker; it’s really easy to make! So please give this delicious and easy mashed potato recipe a try, and let us know what you think.

Here’s a great tip from one of the readers, on how to make this ahead:

A holiday lifesaver: moving mashed potato tasks to a day or two before. For more traditional potatoes skip the bread crumb/cheese topping. To mitigate the sour cream cut that by half and sub in a little softened cream cheese and some warmed milk (skim!), which also provided the extra moisture others have noted. Kept for 2 days in the fridge in an ordinary foil steam pan, potatoes reheated perfectly (an hour at 350 – not 400) and tasted “just made.”
