Updated! A New Summer Recipe, New Pictures of Sawyer!

Hi, Friends!  It's been a few days since I've posted.  I hope you're all having a great Summer.  I haven't done much cooking at home this week, either, except for breakfast because I've been working every evening.  Here's a dinner I fixed for my sister and myself last week.  It was delicious!  Click on the casserole for the recipe!

Creamy Chicken Pasta Casserole

Here's a great way to avoid an extra trip to the supermarket!  I had several food items at home but needed a recipe for something different, so I found a new recipe by googling the ingredients I had on hand.  I came up with this delicious casserole!   This recipe includes bacon, which I didn't use, because, regardless of popular opinion, everything doesn't need bacon!  I also used Panko bread crumbs because that's what I had, but next time I will use regular bread crumbs.  Panko is not for everything, either.

Watching my sunflower grow has been so much fun for me! Next year I want many more!

The second ripe tomato on the chocolate cherry tomato plant! Beautiful!

A gift from my new neighbors' garden! Nice!

Here's the last of the crop of the tomatoes on Highway 53 past 140 going out of Rome.  The real feel temp outside that day we picked them was 104 degrees, but what we brought home made it worth the effort!

Here's a "memory" from Facebook that I posted a year ago August 15, so even though I haven't done much cooking recently, here's something I can share with you.  Click on the picture of the "Summer Casserole" for the recipe, and also on the cornbread for a Southern Cornbread recipe!

I had a day off from work so I rode to Columbus, Georgia with my friend Gail Reyes and my sister, Janise.  Gail leads our "Together For A Cure" Relay for Life Team that was started by her husband, June.  Here we're helping her stock up on groceries for meals we're preparing to raise money for our team and the American Cancer Society.  This has worked very well for us over the last few years!  I will be sure to post pictures of the wonderful food and if you ever get the opportunity to have Gail's food, you should take it!!

Here's the latest pictures of Sawyer with her silly daddy, Ghee, and Callie and Chloe!  Little Sawyer goes for her two week check-up this week.  Please continue to pray for her recovery and for her parents.  Hopefully I will get to see her soon! I miss her!

See you soon, Friends!  

Dished With Love!
