Welcome to my virtual kitchen!

I hope you enjoy your visit here, whether it’s your first time or your 30th. I first started sharing my recipes as Facebook Notes, until my friends began asking how they could share them with their friends; so I gathered my courage and tiptoed into the world of blogging via Tumblr. As interest in my blog started “cooking,” my wonderful hubby set me up at WordPress with my own domain. (All the content from my previous blog moved here as well.) Let me know what you think, and be sure to bookmark it for future reference!

My other hobby, scrapbooking, is also documented at WordPress here.

Company Chicken Casserole

A dear church friend, who is also a longtime friend of my husband’s, brought us this casserole from their childhood church’s cookbook. I asked for the recipe and have adapted it slightly (original included here for posterity). It’s the first thing I’ve made since I’ve been home from the hospital.

  • 2 lg cans chicken
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 boxes long grain and wild rice dish
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 1 pkt onion soup mix

For topping:

  • 1 sleeve buttery crackers
  • 1/2 stick butter

Stir first 6 ingredients together well. Spoon into casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Bake 30-40 minutes at 350⁰ (test to ensure rice is done); meanwhile, melt butter in small bowl, and add crumbled crackers, stirring to coat well. Spoon topping over casserole and return to oven until crackers have browned slightly. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
