Tuesday Treats: Santa Fe Chicken Casserole

Posted on April 10, 2018 by Silver James

Mother Nature is getting a little schizophrenic this spring so I thought I’d share this recipe. It’s a great transitional meal–spicy and cheesy for chilly nights but not so heavy that you can’t serve it on a warmer day. Prep … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: April Showers

Posted on April 4, 2018 by Silver James

Tuesday Treats: Creamy Turkey Noodles

Posted on April 3, 2018 by Silver James

Since Mother Nature isn’t convinced it’s time for spring, I thought I’d share this warm and gooey dinner idea. It’s great for pot lucks, feeding a family, or for making and freezing portions for later. You don’t even have to … Continue reading →

Posted on April 2, 2018 by Silver James

It’s Monday. I don’t have a whole lot to say so this is going to be a bit of a ramble. 😆 Yesterday was Easter and April Fool’s Day. I can’t quite wrap my head around that. I watched “Atomic … Continue reading →
