Foodie Friday: Asparagus Casserole


Holidays are made for asparagus casserole... uh, errrr, or asparagus casserole is made for holidays? How about we eat asparagus casserole every holiday. And some non-holidays. But especially holidays. Because it's delicious. It's a celebration in your mouth.

Ingredients:
4 cans asparagus
4 hard cooked eggs
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (we use reduced fat)
1 can milk
Cheese Nips, crushed (we use the about 4 cups pre-crushed - you can also use goldfish)

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. In a casserole dish sprayed with Pam, put in a layer of asparagus (about 2 cans). Slice hard boiled eggs into 1/4" slices lengthwise and layer over asparagus, using all your eggs. Mix your cream of mushroom soup with your milk and pour 1/2 the mixture over this layer. Finish with another layer of asparagus (about 2 cans). Pour remaining mushroom soup mixture over final layer. Put 4 cups Cheese Nips into a plastic bag and squeeze all the air out of the bag before you seal. Beat the bag with a rolling pin, wooden spoon or some such thing until your Nips are crushed. Sprinkle the crushed Nips over your casserole. Pop the whole bit into the oven for 20 to 30 minutes - you'll see it bubbling when it's done.

P.S. You can thank me later.

Foodie Friday: Easy Breakfast Omelet


Just about every Sunday after church, Mama would make us brunch. Sometimes that meant pancakes, but most often it meant an omelet, grits, biscuits and ham or sausage. But Mama's recipe was for four people and we only have two people, so I've adapted this to make it smaller. You can double or even triple it if you've got more people to feed.

I take 6 eggs, 3 Tablespoons fat free sour cream and about 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (or you can used any grated cheese blend you prefer). I whip this up with a whisk, add salt and pepper to taste and then pour it into a casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray so it'll come out easily.

Pop that into a 350 degree oven for about half an hour and you've got a start to a wonderful breakfast. You can tell it's done when you wiggle the dish and the eggs no longer jiggle - the bottom should be a little brown as well. Enjoy!!
