When I told my Mom about the delicious casserole I cooked last week, she told me that she tried to cook a casserole for my Daddy when they first married. "Casseroles are for poor people," he told her. He must have later warmed to the idea because I ate a lot of casseroles growing up. The one I made last week, however, was a new recipe. I mixed chicken, bell pepper, onion, cream of mushroom soup, and mayo. I poured it into a dish and topped with crescent roll dough and cheddar cheese and popped it into the oven. It was a poor man's chicken pot pie. It was also an easy chicken pot pie, particularly because I made it with chicken that was conveniently cut into strips. Quite the timesaver.
I felt like I needed a vegetable, so I decided to try something new. I roasted mushrooms with parsnips, a vegetable I've never tried cooking and only eaten about twice. Turns out, these root veggies are sweet, starchy, and hearty - just what you crave in during the long winter we've been enduring.
Yum!! Looks good!
