If that’s not enough, one-pot meals leave you with leftovers; and from the feedback you’ve left on the meal planning giveaway…

Paleo Picadillo Casserole + How to Peel and Roast Butternut Squash

No food is more amazing than roasted butternut squash. And no chocolate cake will change my mind on this. If roasted correctly, the chunks get these amazing caramelized bottoms.

Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie

Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie

After 3 attempts, and so many leftovers I don’t know what to do with, I think I’ve finally nailed this one. I think this has to be one of my largest challenges yet. I don’t have a good track record with experimenting with chicken, which is why you don’t see a lot of chicken recipes…

Hunters Pie with Herb Gravy

I don’t know what I was thinking when I boiled up 15 potatoes and 2.5 lbs of meat for the test run of this recipe. We were left with 2 heaping bowls of meat and potatoes that physically would not fit into our 2.5 qt casserole dish, no matter how physics sliced it. So, seeing…

Lazy (wo)mans Cabbage Roll Casserole

I’m totally with the angel on this one. I’m exhausted. But I don’t have a nice fluffy cloud to nap on. Just 2 more days until Christmas and although tired, I’m pretty pumped about it. I had leftover ribbon from the blondie jars and a bunch of toilet paper rolls in recycling so I decided…
