Stephanie wishes I would blog about my cooking experiences. So I guess I will give it a shot. She is thinking she will be entertained, but I don't know how interesting this will actually be. I haven't made anything yet that got us sick, or made me chew like a turtle to choke down dinner.

Just to update, I have been experimenting in the realm of casseroles. They intrigue me, its like mix this, cook this put them together and bake it and WHaLa dinner is served. I think it interests me because I don't have to watch it cook or compete with the temperature of my skillet. Eric is always coming into the kitchen and turning my heat down below medium. I guess I think if its hotter it will cook faster. So, to avoid the burning of butter in my skillet or over boiling the milk and water for a pasta mix so it comes flowing out of the pot, I have been working with casseroles.

The casserole dishes I have made so far:

Sausage Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo Casserole~ it was good but needed more sausage, Also i would buy a better tasting Alfredo Sauce (i didn't love the Regu). Eric was nice and said he liked it.

Ground Beef 'N' Biscuits ~ It looked interesting because the biscuits are cooked on top of the casserole, but it was weird because I was like what.. is this.... supposed... to taste like... Swallow. But as the meal progressed, I figured it out. It was a glorified sloppy Joe with the addition to peas in it and the biscuits on top. Eric said it was good... and we could freeze the rest and eat it "later"... so it sits in a baggie in our freezer.

Tonight I will make Macaroni Bake for my 3rd Casserole.
