Squash Casserole By: Lindsey

My Dad brought home lots of squash from a neighbor in Alabama. So, my husband(who is a great cook) threw some on the skillet and did something "magical" and voila...they were yum-o! Sorry, don't have that recipe...however, he asked me to make squash casserole one night. I had never made squash casserole so I busted out the southern(aka Georgia...Voice of Truth...Irwinton) cookbooks and started a search. Wow! Who knew there were SO many ways to make squash casserole. I picked one that seemed the easiest and least expensive and it was AMAZING! I didn't think the recipe looked that great but I tried it anyways. Boy, was I wrong! It does have a strong onion taste...however, you can add as much onions as you want. Ok, try it!

2 cups squash(cooked) -----I did three cups
1 cup onion(chopped)
3/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 cup grated cheese(any kind)
2 cup Ritz Crackers(crushed) ------I did wheat ritz crackers
1 cup evaporated milk

Melt butter. Mix all of the ingredients, except 1/2 cup cheese and 3/4 cup ritz crackers. Which will be used for the topping. Pour in 9x13 dish. Top with leftover cheese and crackers. Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes.

Pepper Penne by Ashley

Oh My!!  We had this tonight for dinner.  All of the boys ate it, including Gray who is 1 and Sam who usually only eats the bread for dinner.  I loved it and it was so easy!  Enjoy!!!   Ingredients:   1 package of penne pasta (I used whole grain) 1/2 t. rosemary 2 packages of sliced pepperoni , halved ( I used 1 package and it seemed to be plenty) 1/4 c. pepperocini (omit if too spicy for kids, but it wasn't really spicy with it.  I will probably use more than 1/4 next time) 1 jar roasted red bell pepper, drained and chopped 3 1/2 c. boiling water 1/2 c. whipping cream (I used milk) 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese   Directions:   In a large pot, layer pasta, rosemary, pepperoni, pepperocini, and roasted red pepper.   Add water and bring to a boil.   Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer until pasta is tender.   Add cream and cheese.  Toss to coat.  

Mexican Dip By: Lindsey

Had this recipe for forever. My mom gave it to me. Last night was the first time in a long time that I made it. It was a hit! (Actually, my mother in law made it for me...I was out of town and got home when the dinner was ending...GOOD JOB LYNN!). Everyone was talking about it. So here ya go: Green Onions 2 8oz. blocks of cream cheese 2 cans chili with beans Shredded Cheddar Cheese Mix together cream cheese and chili with beans. Pour in the bottom of 9x13 dish. Generously sprinkle cheese on top. Add chopped green onions onto cheese. Put in oven on 350 until cheese is melted. Serve with chips of your choice.

Simple Cole Slaw by Ashley

I love coleslaw, all different kinds, but I have never made it before. A girl that I don't know has a recipe blog that I go to often and I got this recipe from her. I loved that it said "simple". Simple I can do. *my Dad loves coleslaw as well, but is kind of a coleslaw snob and he really liked it. *i served it with homemade sloppy joes and tater tots :) Ingredients: 1/3 cup canola-based mayonnaise ( I am sure you can use any kind of mayo, but this is better for you.) 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 3 cups packaged cabbage and carrot coleslaw Directions: Combine mayo, sugar, pepper, salt, and dry mustard with a whisk. Add coleslaw and toss.
