Part of the reason I decided to cook so much was because my family was coming to visit. So, I set out, with a few speed bumps to come. First I made chicken casserole, which is incredibly easy. It's even easier if you get one of those day old rotisserie chickens from Wal-Mart on sale, and use it. Then you don't even have to cook the chicken. However, this does leave you with a lack of chicken broth, which was my first speed bump. I didn't have any thing to even make chicken broth, no bullion cubes, nothing.
Next I decided to make meatloaf. This was a wonderful idea, except, I've never made meatloaf, and I didn't have a recipe for it. So, I put in what seemed like it should go into meatloaf. I have no idea how it tastes, but this is what it looked like uncooked.
If it's any good, I'll share the "recipe" later.Lastly, I made lasagna. For the wedding, I got an amazing lasagna dish. The problem with it is that it makes the most ginormous lasagna in the world. One box of lasagna noodles is not enough to fill this pan. So, again, we shall see how it turns out.
Here is a picture of the process. Look how crazy big that pan is! It took seven noodles to barely cover each layer! The other problem with making the lasagna was that I do not have a large pot to cook the noodles in. I used two sauce pans and kept emptying them out and adding more noodles.Then, in my cooking crazed state, I realized that tomorrow was Sunday, and that meant we would want lunch soon after church. Sundays are my days to rest and take naps. The last thing that I want to do is cook. So, I made a chicken and rice casserole and put it in the fridge.
I love having a "full" freezer. Right now I have a casserole, meatloaf, and lasagna in there. Yummy!
