Let me give you a little background about my eating preferences. I love foods with texture!!!...did I say love??? Oh yes! So with that, there are a couple of foods that I eat on a very regular basis such rice and veggies. Beans and peas are my absolute favorite. I'll tell ya, it's probably because during those summers in New York as a kid, Granma would make those two things and never worry about the third dish. Being accustomed to my Alabama relatives having 10 dishes for one meal, it was like dang where's the rest of the meal (lol)!
Anyway, since what I eat rarely contains meat and cheeses, I try to come up with creative ways of eating it. (Did I mention that I love soups and chowders also?). For all of you out there that like hearty meals, SO DO I! Don't get it twisted because I don't eat much meat. I love me some good food...not expensive, not popular, but GOOD TASTING food 😉. I had never made a casserole before my first one three weeks ago. I remember thinking when I came up the the idea, I have this Paula Dean casserole dish that I found on sale at Wally World (that's Walmart for those who don't know) that would be peerrrrrfect for it! So I searched the web to try and find out what most people put in theirs and then began searching my pantry. GOODNESS, it was ALL types of stuff in there, but I wanted broccoli, rice, mushroom, and cheese.
Now I think I am a pretty good "off the hip" baker, but when it comes to my food dishes I tend to be quite traditional. I was just in a casserole mood though so I had to do this!!!! YOU CAN DO IT (in my silly voice)!!!!! SMILE!!!
Okay, so I made the broccoli casserole and I was SSOOOOOOO pleased! Why didn't somebody tell to make a casserole 20 years ago!!!
I'll tell you about week 2's vegetable and shrimp casserole tomorrow!!! Until then...DO IT YOUR WAY!!!
