Well we had a baby last Thursday! So we need a lot of simple dinners in my house right now! This is a delicious and simple casserole your family will love.
We welcomed our newest addition on July 10, 2014!
Landry Miles – 8 lbs. and 20.5 inches long
He’s just so sweet!
AND
Everyone was SO EXCITED!
I must admit I was a little apprehensive about taking him home to face the madness of three other kids, but it’s not been too bad. The first day was A LOT of “It’s my turn to hold him!” But each day has gotten a little better.
This little girl is especially in love with her new little brother!
Our family was so helpful watching the kids and cooking us some fabulous comfort foods. We have had:
Roast and Rice and Gravy
Black-Eyed Peas
Homemade Mac and Cheese
Homemade French Bread
Chicken Stew
Meatballs and Gravy with Mashed Potatoes
Banana Nut Cake
Oatmeal and Mayhaw Jelly Bars
Strawberry Short Cake
Wowzers! That’s a list of some great food! We were so grateful and felt so loved.
One of the meals I like to make for people is this Cheesy Peasy Chicken Spaghetti. It is really delicious and feeds a crowd. It’s great for potlucks too!
