Little Tidbits of life, food and family!

I hope I caught your attention with that title! I have made the following recipe several times and have never been disappointed. It's Chicken Parm Casserole by Polly from The Thriving Home. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/171066485822453822/ This is a simple recipe and a crowd pleaser! The other half of this is our stairs leading to our gross basement really needed to be redone. My husband used up his whole day off repairing them. I'm so proud of him! Have a great week and try a new recipe!

When I was a child, I didn't like vegetables very much. Now that I'm an adult, I still don't care for them too much except for a select few. Eggplant is one of those few. I have made eggplant parmesan a lot of times, so this time I wanted to try something different. It also had to be low carb because the hubby is doing a low carb diet. This recipe is called Eggplant Parmesan casserole by Andrew Wilder https://www.pinterest.com/pin/171066485830038627/ I added ricotta cheese to make it a little more hearty for my husband. I also made them into stacks instead of a casserole. However, this recipe turned out really great and it had a delicious taste! I will be making this again for sure!

Well, fall is officially upon us! This is my favorite time of year! I love going apple picking and pumpkin picking. This past week, we went to get pumpkins and the place had a variety of squash. One of which I had never heard of! It was called Mashed Potato Squash. I was intrigued! My husband is doing low carb and this sounded perfect. Another favorite comfort food of mine is meatloaf. No one else in my family likes it so I rarely make it. I made it to pair with this squash because nothing goes together better than meatloaf and mashed potatoes! The meatloaf recipe is by paleogrumbs.com https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AerRR7vtUokqrCBFvz3woVgsl_ApHOgtPXOGMT4nxn-Hw82KITe9L8Y/ This was okay. It lacked a lot of flavor. I don't know what I would do differently, I'll have to experiment with it. My husband was happy because it was carb free! The mashed potato squash recipe was from OliveJude.com  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/171066485830044740/ This was pretty good.
