Family Traditions: Favorite Casseroles for Family Meals

Casseroles offer an ideal alternative for the busy cook. Many of them contain meat, vegetables and starches; just add salad and bread, and you have a balanced meal. Clean up is easy since you do not have a lot of pots and pans to scrub. Another advantage is the fact that you can make two identical recipes at a time, one for dinner tonight and the other to freeze for later. You may even choose to make several different ones on the weekend, and freeze them for use during the week. Rachael Ray® cookware includes several casserole dishes in different sizes and shapes in which you can freeze, cook and serve your food.

 

Tuna casseroles are a delicious way to use canned tuna and provide a healthy meal for your family. Mix tuna with cooked, drained pasta, add chopped onions, a little dill weed, egg, milk and cubed cheese and bake for about 45 minutes. Serve with a vegetable or salad. Vegetable casserole dishes make a terrific side for your family's dinner or to take to a potluck dinner. Green bean casseroles are always popular. One recipe that is quick, easy and tasty calls for combining canned green beans with cream of mushroom soup. Cook for about 20 minutes, top with fried onions and return to the oven for another few minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave this dish as well. No matter what type of casserole you prepare, cleanup is easy with Rachael Ray nonstick cookware.

Whether you are making a special breakfast, dinner for your family or a holiday feast, you can find a casserole recipe that is perfect for the occasion. In no time, the casserole becomes a family tradition which everyone happily anticipates.

The kitchen in the house that we bought was outdated and not functional so; we decided to gut it all and bring in new cabinets and new black and stainless appliances. The result is fabulous and I love this Samsung refrigerator. The Total storage capacity of this product is 25.5 cu. ft. It has twin Cooling System which controls and generates cooling air for refrigerator and freezer separately with two evaporators, two fan systems and precise electronic control.

The twin cooling system maintains right humidity and temperature levels. It has LED lighting which brightens every corner of the refrigerator and freezer.

It has external digital display and control and it shows the inside temperatures, when to change the filter as well as controls the ice and water dispenser.

It has Multi air flow and Clear View ice maker which is located directly in the freezer door.

I like the power freeze and power cool feature of this refrigerator. If the ice cream melted on the way home from the grocery, one press of a button will be return to frosty perfection within minutes. It has door alarm and it beeps to remind that the door is open.

This is an Energy Star qualified product meaning, it uses less energy while saving money. It has deep 4 tempered glass shelves, dairy compartment, 2 drawers and 5 glass shelves.

The product reviews of this refrigerator is mostly positive. So far, hubby and I like it a lot and we have so much room to store our food. The price? Just check it out in the appliance center in your area.

"Paula is sweet, cute and quiet. At least it appears that way until this tomboy firecracker opens up her mouth and steps inside the kitchen. Paula is a perfectionist, and will ride you until you do it her way. Energetic and explosive in the kitchen, Paula makes people quit by yelling at them and making them feel like crap. But this Brazilian native is not a complete tyrant, and says she is kind both inside and outside of the kitchen and inside of the kitchen, when things are done her way."
