Santa Fe Chicken Casserole

Some of the other bargains I scored at Smiths this morning were 3 of those new Philadelphia Cooking Cremes in 3 different flavors which were only .75 after the sale price and coupons.  I figured for .75, I would give them a try.  They all came with multiple recipes on each container and this one … Continue reading

While googling Mardi Gras dinner ideas yesterday, I actually found 2 that I wanted to try on the Taste of Home’s website so even though Mardi Gras is over, I thought I’d make this for dinner tonight.  Bob said he likes it better than last night’s and even Courtney ate this one because it had … Continue reading
