Baked Chicken, Brown Rice & Veggies

Honestly, I can't even remember how I made this dish. I thought the photo looked appetizing and decided it would be a shame not to share it.

Simple baked brown rice, mushrooms, carrots, green and yellow onion, with seasoned chicken thighs on top. When baking casseroles similar to this one, be sure to partially saute your veggies first.

Meatball Lasagna Recipe

I know you are reading the title and thinking, meatball lasagna?  I've never heard of that before... Well, me neither, but trust me it's delish.  Lasagna can be a tedious meal to make especially if you are into the layers like me.  And, boiling 10 inch lasagna noodles in a 6 inch deep pot is nothing short of a joke, right?  So, kudos to whoever invented the oven ready version.  You get to take a shortcut on time and your family will still think you went to culinary school.  Brilliant.  If you are ready for a fast and easy way to make a lasagna tonight, then continue reading my friend.

Meatball Stroganoff Recipe

So, I had some meatballs that I needed to do something with.  I found a ridiculously easy recipe from a Pin from this blog: Menu Musings of a Modern American Mom and after adding a few more ingredients from Mrs. Paula Deen's version, the combination made for a heavenly treat.  Just like the blogger says, don't fuss over precise measurements.  Just roll with it, it's gonna be good.  Here's my version...
